advice for future trans students :/

i've known i was trans since i was very young and promised myself i'd transition in college. so i filled out the name change form day one. i was promised by everyone my parents wouldn't find out, and i did everything in my power. i emailed support like 4 different times to change some things that could get me outed and they just ignored me. the other day they sent home mail with my preferred name on it and now my dad is fucking pissed at me. so just for the future if ur planning on doing what i did, maybe consider going about it a different way lolllll

Univ Hall

Every single minute, theres SHITLOADS of people lined up for the bus outside Univ hall, fighting to get a spot on it. Wtf is with all that? Are the buses/shuttles always delayed or is the school just too overcrowded ? I have to fucking walk from univ hall or farther to the vill everytime cuz mfs dont give u a chance to even breathe. Its a mess.

Need some advice

Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well! I'm planning to apply for an MS in IT at MSU and would love to get some insights from current students or alumni. I’m particularly interested in knowing:

-Course Structure & Professors: How is the curriculum? Are the professors supportive, and how is the overall learning environment? -Placements: How are the placement opportunities, especially in the IT field? Do companies come frequently for recruitment, and how well-prepared do you feel for the job market after graduation? -Campus Life: What’s the campus culture like? Are there any specific activities or resources that helped you in your academic or professional growth? Any advice or feedback would be really appreciated! Thank you so much in advance for your help.

Best regards, Akmal

Scholarship

I recently applied to this university as an international undergraduate student. I couldn’t see any scholarship option in the website. I wanted to know how competitive it is to receive an scholarship as an international student. Does SAT score help to get scholarships if GPA is not good enough ? Please do reply…….

I have a few questions (sorry if I’m just yapping)

These are just a few random questions that I wanted to ask on here..

  1. What are some fun things that y’all do with friends?? Like outdoors and indoors..Me personally I don’t really want a lot of friends, I’d rather just have one group of like 4-6 people that I’m very close with and that’s about it and maybe some other people I talk to on occasion..but as someone who’s very into music, film and TV and wants to study film what are some fun ideas I could do with friends?
  2. For my ambiverted socially awkward people how has it been making friends and getting along with people. I’m autistic so I don’t get along with a good amount of people and even the people I do get along with, we clash sometimes, I love socializing with people, hell I practically need socialization to function every day but it’s kinda difficult for me to just go up to people randomly and say “hey wassup” when I make friends it usually just happens more naturally. I would say I’m ambiverted because I love socializing with people and I desperately want friends, it’s just a lot of the time I need to recharge after talking to someone for a while
  3. Again I’m autistic and I go to a special education school, so I wanted to know how exactly the IEP system works at Montclair if anyone knows about that, I don’t know how exactly I’ll do at college with the workload because my curriculum at my current school is way behind public high schools so I don’t wanna go just to be completely lost and be like “what the hell is going on”😭also I have basically been getting all As and Bs throughout high school (I’m in my junior year) but since the curriculum is so behind how exactly would scholarships work and could I get a full ride??
  4. This is different for every school but how’s the film program usually, what do you usually do, what are the people/community like and what do you get out of it??
  5. As someone who’s allergic to fucking everything💀(mainly nuts, dairy and seafood) what would eating on the meal plan be like?? I don’t eat broad amounts of food so what foods do they usually have on meal plans and how good is it usually..
  6. When is the earliest time to start the application process?? Is it end of Junior year or beginning of Senior??

Those are all my questions, sorry if I was just yapping💀

Upcoming Account, Finance, & Tech Career Fair

Based on what I saw, it seems like 90% accounting and finance. Is it worth going to as a CS alumni looking for tech opportunities? Or should I hold off until the next career fair in October?

Question About The Graduate Voice Program

Is it true that graduate voice (opera) students get 2 coachings and a lesson per week?

(This university is one of my choices for applying to grad school, so this is why I'm asking.)
