Still on the housing waitlist, do I have a chance or am I cooked?

I’m currently #10 on the housing waitlist and it hasn’t moved at all for the past few days. With less than 5 days until the semester starts, do I realistically still have a chance of getting on-campus housing?

For anyone who’s been on the waitlist this close to the start of the semester before, does it usually move much during the last few days/first week of classes? Or should I start looking for off-campus housing ASAP?

Freshman AOI in CS major looking to take CSE 101 but the only professor available has poor reviews

I got a 4 on the math placement so I can't take CSE 114. I was recommended to take CSE 101 instead. The reviews don't look great for Jalaa Hoblos, so I am a little worried. Will it be difficult to get a B or higher in CSE 101 or is it possible to take some other course this semester instead since CSE 101 it's not mandatory?

What do I bring with me on orientation as a commuter?

Like do I take a backpack with me or just a small side bag? I am thinking of bringing my own lunch but don’t want my backpack to get in the way since i’ll be on campus for a long while tomorrow.

Is this too much for a incoming sophomore ?

Im really debating on weather I should drop CLS 325 only because I would be sitting at 19 credits and I need che 131 for a pre req ( im pre-pa) I would still be at 16 credits but the other classes are more manageable: PSY 103(ONLINE), SOC 200 has a good class evaluation turn out with grades, AMS 110: I heard its not to bad..., SOC 247: The class also has a good turnout with grades.

CLS 325 is online zoom twice a week I just heard the homework would be kinda tedious but nothing to crazy, also this class from what I know is only held in the fall and it seems interesting plus its a upper division.

Honest opinions please

Im a health science major, minoring in health medicine and society

What student discounts do you think others might miss, but you think it ultimately saves a lot of money?

I use the student discount for my monthly Verizon internet bill and I used it to get a Samsung Tablet from Best Buy. Curious if there are any other great discounts that I could be missing out on.

UG Fellows Program

So this happened last semester, I was able to get admission into the program but you needed the specific gpa requirement and unfortunately I was off by 0.1. I emailed the person who ran the program and they said I couldn't be part of the whole program because of that. Later I thought to myself, do they really check everyone's gpa and could I have gotten in without emailing them? It does look good on peoples resumes so thats a concern for me of what I missed out on. Does anyone know if they do pls lmk.

Incoming freshmen move in day 8/17 (parent perspective)

We moved our son into Wagner hall today. I have heard mixed reviews on the move in day experience. I must say it was better than I expected. The staggered times really help. We had an 11:50 slot, rolled up at 11:45 and my son went to check in. We unloaded onto the curb outside Wagner and I put the car in the lot
There was a waitlist for the big move in wheelie bins. But being we were on the third floor, and literally one elevator…we just used the stairs. Made a few trips and voila. All moved in
The flow of traffic in and around campus was very controlled and orderly.
Good luck to all those moving in tomorrow 8/18 and have a great freshman year!

** to add, the staff that they had on hand were all super helpful. We were even as parents able to tour the gym facility. It made the whole move in day pretty seamless

How important are the letter of recommendations

Hey all, i currently work for suffolk county as a social worker and was gonna apply to sbu MSW program. I was wondering if i had a letter of recommendation from my supervisor at work, would that be better than letter of recommendation from previous professors. I also went to sbu for my undergraduate but i was a business finance major.
