Hi everyone, planning to fly through Dubai with a small layover next week, just wanted to check everyone's opinions. Should I be worried about the 60 day period just ending
Thanks
Had a fire 13 days ago in the condo. I've called my adjuster once a week in the past 2 weeks to understand how long things will take. I literally have a life to move forward with (I just graduated college 2 weeks ago), diabetic parents to take care of, etc., and all I need to know is the timeframe. The contracting company is moving fast, and literally nothing in my home was caught on fire other than the dryer, where the fire originated; the rest is smoke damage. It's pretty clear to me this can be done in a month or two. If it takes a month or more, I think it's reasonable to think I want an AirBnb to cook and stay with my parents instead of a hotel. Called the adjuster today, and she became super frustrated with me, saying I've been calling every other day and that she has claims since march to handle and she can't just up and look at my claim. I explained that I literally just want to move to an airbnb if things are going to take long, which they obviously will if she's so behind. She said we don't need an airbnb if it hasn't been over 2 months of the hotel.
I understand fire claims can be complicated, but what the hell is this. I'm the one whose life is put on pause. I've been incredibly polite every time I call her, and the attitude is the last thing I need during an already stressful situation. I understand adjusters are busy people, but is it unreasonable to want to know how long my family will be displaced for? What's the general timeline on these things.
Additionally, staying at this hotel for 2 months is more expensive and eating away at our ALE limit faster than the Airbnbs. Doesn't it make more sense to approve for that then? And what happens if we hit that limit faster with the eating out staying here?
Hi everyone. Yesterday night our condo had a dryer fire. The firefighters arrived on scene and did have to use water and whatever else to put it out, and so obviously there is damage in the place right now. I called insurance immediately and they assigned a claim handler, who I couldn't get a hold of yesterday but I'm trying again today. I've never handled a fire aftermath of any kind so I was wondering if I could get some tips on what to do. I'm guessing it'll take a few days to weeks to restore the place back to normal, and most fire damage is around the dryer unit itself, but it is in the middle corridor/hallway between 2 bedrooms.
We mopped up standing water but there's moisture + cement + soot on the floors and tiles and I'm guessing in the carpets too since everyone was walking around the whole place with shoes, but there isn't visible soot in the rooms and gas is shut off but not electricity.
This all leads me to my main question, how bad would it be if we continued to stay in this place? I'm not sure how much insurance covers, what ALE looks like, all that stuff and till then we have no other place to stay in. I checked everywhere online and most advice to not stay in the unit until restoration is done but I'm just really not sure if that's an option for us.
Also if anyone has tips on how to handle insurance and what to expect in terms of time frame and all, that would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
For new grads who went straight to MCS, has the program offered you better chances at internships and jobs after? I know experience is very key for professional degrees so I'm just curious if this is a good fit for me as a new grad.
Thanks!
I recently got into both of these programs, and I'm trying to understand which is the better path for me. For context, UIUC is way cheaper, but it is the MCS program, and it seems the UMich program is generally better with more options for pivoting and perhaps more quality in the program. I really like everything about the UMich program, except for the cost. It's very expensive, and I know there are funding opportunities, but I've also heard that they are very hard to get. For context, this is a 60k (in state) vs 180k difference if I receive no funding, mostly through loans, so I would like to hear another person's perspective. My current goal is a job at the end, and I don't have visa-related barriers (citizen). Since the current focus is a job, I'm mostly concerned on if the MCS program is even worth the 60k and if its treated differently by employers, or if the better name of Michigan is worth the cost and recruitment opps.
Thanks!
