so I’m a newly admitted student who will be commuting using the trains to and from school. one-way trip is two hours and I really really wanted to move out of my house but sadly my mental health is not worth $15,000 lol.

I have talked to my guidance counselor here at my high school and she’s amazing and was in the same boat as me and told me when she commuted to a different school she would sleep in study areas and like shower in the gyms [she doesn’t tell me this to like give me dumb ideas, but she knows a lot about what’s been going on bc im quite literally a mini her and genuinely just means to give me hope] and so I was wondering if there are places to do the same? as I’ve found only one study area ask that is actually open for what looks like 24/7.

I know people who are going to the school and dorming but I don’t want to intrude on them and I also am required by my parents to pay $1000 a month for my tuition so I can’t afford to pay for any sort of motels or anything down there. Is there any areas to study or things that one could lay down for three hours at like two in the morning lol? or literally anything is helpful, thanks!

i’ve done a lot of research but it’s still a bit confusing. I’m an newly admitted HS student taking 4 APs this year, two of them I know will contribute to my intended major and then the other two are AP government/politics and AP micro economics. I am neither doing a history or finance or business related major. I would assume that AP Gov would apply to a Gen Ed but would microeconomics as well? I obviously intend to try my best in all of them, but it’s helpful for prioritizing in these final review days. thanks for all the help everyone has provided in previous questions! i can see a lot of admissions questions can get annoying lol but its really helpful to us.

just committed this weekend and going through the motions lol. can someone explain why we get two emails, the scarlet NetID and then the personalized one we make with our full name? i now have a google account with the NetID one based in the enrollment checklist, and it says that emails to the NetID will go to the personal… what? which do i use, or do i actually have to monitor both? It says to use my personal for contacting peering and teachers, but then sign in to Microsoft with the NetID one… Any advice is greatly appreciated.
