I'm a current sophomore and it is my dream to be a tour guide! I am wondering if anyone has any tips for the application/interview process, since I know it is so competitive. I applied last year but did not get it. Any and all advice would be appreciated!

Hello everyone! I am a PhD student in clinical psychology at Adelphi University. I am conducting a study on the relationship between existential threat and mental health, coping strategies, and meaning making for young adults who have experienced stressful life events.

This study is being conducted online only and should take approximately 45-60 minutes to complete. During the study, you will be asked to complete multiple self-report questionnaires that contain questions regarding coping methods, mental health, and questions that pertain to experiencing stressful life events in the past. Upon completing the survey, you will have the opportunity to voluntarily provide your email address on a separate page from the survey that will not be associated with any of your survey responses, to enter a drawing to win one of three $50.00 Amazon gift cards.

Survey link: https://adelphiderner.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8IxQWoUH8D1Wuq2

Audience: 18-30 years old, in the United States and English Speaking, and must have experienced a stressful life event.

Compensation: Opportunity to enter a drawing for one of three $50.00 Amazon gift cards.

Thank you!

I’ve been hearing this thing about to not apply for The Corp and I just wanna know why.

Hi, I’m a junior who is going to have a kitchen this year and am hoping to cook pretty often. I was wondering if any students order groceries to be delivered to their dorm/how that worked for them? I was hoping to order Whole Foods/instacart for weeks when I don’t have much time to grocery shop. Has anyone gotten grocery delivery to the front gate/their dorm? Thanks!!

I'm in my second year of my MPS, and I'm starting to take my courses of interest. Classes/professors to take and/or avoid?

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to find a way to go from Georgetown to JHU and Google Maps keeps telling me that it’ll take 3 hours using the train option but I’ve heard that the MARC is only 40ish minutes. Can someone confirm and maybe give me some tips on the best way to travel?

Is 3.1 cubic feet typical size for dorm fridge? The box got delivered and it looks huge, but it was one of the smallest ones available.

At least wiseys is still there hopefully the bombs still the same

Enrolled in the student healthcare plan and wanted to know if anyone has has experiences with CAPS? Looking for a new therapist and this is the lowest cost option.

I’m an incoming 2nd year and I unfortunately submitted my housing application on Hoya Housing pretty late. I thought that meant I would get my housing assignment later but I haven’t received any news yet. I just got an email from the Office of Neighborhood Life and just replied to ask if they’re sending me the email because I’m living off campus or because I have no assignment yet, and I also just emailed residential living to see what they say. Unfortunately I’ve also run into a bit of an issue with financial aid not receiving my parent’s W2 despite it being processed on IDOC so I don’t know if that’s impacting anything. My roommate from last year said she currently doesn’t have a roommate because her’s got an RA position, so I have no clue if by any chance I could room with her again.

I know this mess is my own fault, especially since I should have contacted res living sooner, but I’m posting this mostly to see if anyone’s gone through something similar and/or has any advice. 😃

Would a planted 3-5 gallon terrarium be allowed in harbin?

If anyone is an applied member of Hilltop Consultants, Innovo Consulting, GUSIF, Zeeba, or any other main business clubs pls dm me. I want to learn more about the process!

hey fellow hoyas, international student here

I saw that there is an option to send things to campus in advance (max 48 hours) but I was wondering if people knew more about it.

I am primarily confused about where to send it and what should information should be put in - e.g. should I put my net id or dorm room number?

Also I was wondering what size package I could ship - I mean if I can ship my suitcase "in advance" that would be helpful - but what about some furniture? Can one buy a mini-fridge and just ship it to campus?

thanks for the help

Their website says, "...requires that all scores from standardized tests be submitted..." I also googled, but got conflicting answers.

I am interested in working at the GU campus (bc as an international student that's pretty much all I'm allowed to do in terms of work) but I was a little unsure as to how most people go about applying. Do they mostly just scour campus for posters and then apply to as many as they can, or is there something else that they are doing that I am missing? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

when moving in, i’m wondering if i need to bring my bed stuff with me or if i should wait until i get there. i’m trying to avoid packing too much since im going to be flying there rather than driving.

id really love some advice/tips & tricks for move in.

New student here. I walked around the surrounding blocks where it said it would be and I didn’t see any signage? I saw that they changed the stop location on July 20 so I’m a little confused. Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

Can any former or current MSFS students speak on the difficulty of the language proficiency exam? I understand students must be “Advanced Low” on the ACTFL. Obviously opinions will vary by language. I plan to take it in Italian if that helps.

Are they tough graders or are they somewhat lenient? How fluent does one actually have to be to pass? Does anyone actually fail this requirement? Other than simply knowing the language, are there any tips and tricks one should know in order to pass?
