Not really sure if this is someone who does this regularly or a weird one time thing but around 12:45 am on October 9th, I passed by a guy near Puffton village in a truck, I think it was blue, with no headlights. He straight up swerved towards my car and honestly I can’t see what else he was trying to do other than hit me. I’m obviously okay and he did not hit my car but I’m curious if anyone has had a similar experience? I didn’t see him pass by again but I’ve never had anything like that happen before. Please be safe!

Hey! I’m an incoming first year and had an orientation with my cohort. I’m feeling a little awkward (it went well I’m just really anxious and people seem to know each other already). Do y’all have advice for how to get to know people better? Maybe asking them to meet for coffee and study, stuff like that? I also have a nearby apartment and could host a potluck. Thanks for suggestions!

Hey all, I’m an incoming freshman at an AuD program in New England and I’m a little confused about graduate school aid. My school doesn’t offer any but I have the lowest Student Aid Index you can. I just find it crazy that I’m not offered anything but I’m also not very familiar with graduate school. I’d love to hear if you’ve had a similar experience or went to a school that offered more aid. Thanks!

Looking for lakes, ponds, and things to do around Amherst for the summer. Happy to drive ~30 mins esp for a lake. Thanks for suggestions!

This is a little strange, could anyone give me advice about the gym? I don’t really understand where the staircases are in the building (I only went to the front desk to ask about membership but got a bit anxious so I didn’t ask for a tour like I initially intended). I’m hoping to be able to semi-confidently find the way to the upstairs weights. Any advice is super appreciated or if anyone wants to give me a tour (I’m here for the summer and have a membership) I would be extremely appreciative. Thank you so much - a nervous grad student

Okay a little bit of a long post but here we go. I was diagnosed with plaque psoriasis in September and put on topical steroids (I’ve had psoriasis symptoms for about a year now). They worked but I also showed another type (I think guttate? Like the little spots everywhere) which has been poorly treated if I’m being honest. Using topicals for awhile, I’m getting tiny stretch marks. I knew this was a risk but it’s wrecked my confidence so I’ve slowed my use of the topical steroids. Now I’m sort of stuck.

Ive been given a prescription for Otezla but my insurance switches in July so I’ve held off on getting it filled (it’s also expensive even with insurance). I just don’t know what to do at this point. My confidence is absolutely shattered, the psoriasis is getting out of control (espeically on my butt which is so fucking rude??) and I just feel like I’m only being prescribed topicals other than meds I can’t afford.

Any advice is appreciated, thank you so much for reading

Who do I beg? Whose door should I camp out in front of? Mostly joking but I’d appreciate any advice for who to reach out to (I assume financial aid but I wasn’t sure if there’s a specific person). Thanks!

Hey, I’m newer to the area and I was wondering what the cheapest grocery store is. I know Aldi is great for most rings but I’d love to know about the other affordable grocery stores in the area (or if anyone has a good rewards program, coupons, etc.). Thanks :))

Hey, I move to the area beginning of June and I was curious if anyone is moving out around then. Reallyyyy hoping for a futon or something but also I’ll generally need all types of furniture. Thanks! I’m already part of Facebook groups but I figured asking here doesn’t hurt
