Elite N Titled - scammy activewear brand

I honestly had never heard of them until recently and it seems like most people who review or post about them are apart of their 'brand ambassador' program. My experience with them so far has been:

  • They are pretty expensive for such a small, unknown brand. Considering elite eleven or muscle republic (which are mUCH bigger brands) are either the same price or even cheaper????? for similar products, I have no idea how they justify the price which also leads to....
  • Their material quality definitely isnt as premium as other brands I have. Some of the designs are cute but it does feel like almost dropshipping level quality. I'm fine buying aliexpress activewear and having poorer quality material but for $60 a sports bra its kind of ridiculous.
  • They only offer returns for a voucher and this process is ridiculously slow. If you paid for shipping to you, you also have to pay to ship it back as well so you lose a lot and its not worth. I also feel that these brands that dont offer refunds do so because they know their products do not hold up.
  • Worst of all, they have really dodgy business practices. They were running a weekend long promo 2 months ago where all their sports bras were 'discounted by x%'....but they raised the price of the product during the sale so the discount looked bigger. Scummy behaviour

Has anyone else had a bad experience with this brand?

I do use the bras I got from them since I cant return them, but I certainly wouldn't buy from them ever again. For the price point I'd recommend going to a more established brand for better quality and funcitonality.

Winter jacket in-store shopping

I have been putting off buying a winter jacket but now the weather is getting colder Im wondering where the girls are buying cute winter jackets from that you can buy in store?

I've ordered a few styles online before but ended up returning them all because the fit wasn't quite right. I'd rather not buy a puffer and I don't want something as formal as a blazer so I feel like the only other option is a leather jacket but then I feel like these often arent that warm and can look quite cheap. What styles and where are we shopping rn

architecture exchange semester

Has anyone done a T1 semester exchange whilst studying undergrad architecture? I'm going through the sydney abroad programs and honestly out of all the options, it really feels like because of my degree, only maybe 4 or 5 universities would even offer the core course equivalent I'd need to take, so many partner unis have architecture listed as an exclusion. I'm just wondering if anyone here has any experience doing an exchange with these restrictions or have any recommendations.

For reference the only options I have listed right now are:

- Sheffield University

- Milan Polimi

- UCLA/UCB

- Shanghai Jiao Tong

- TU Berlin

- Lund Sweden

- Delft Netherlands

Maybe UCL? Planning is listed as an exclusion but not sure about architecture. Uni of Toronto offers arch but they say you should only apply if you have 24cp for electives, etc.

Ideally, I'd prefer to avoid any Scandinavian countries as they seem the most expensive and Im less interested in studying there, but any advice on lifestyle/ study intensity would be appreciated
