Do I need a rabies shot? Living in Converse floor 4

Hey everyone, this might be a dumb post, but I've heard Converse has tons of bats. Should I just get a rabies shot before I move in? I don't want rabies, but I also don't want to get a bunch of shots for no reason.

Any advice would be appreciated :)

Fall RA Training

Hey! Does anyone who’s been an RA in the past have any insight to what the fall training sessions for RA’s look like? Want to be as mentally prepared as possible and I know every school does it a little differently.

Anyone in CDAE 2280 this summer

hello!

I am taking CDAE 2280 this summer with Antonio Golan I think his name is.

I have noticed that all my quiz grades are in as a 0 for the last module, has he actually graded anyone’s quizzes or is my bright space showing that because he hasn’t?

thank you!

Question about getting my scholarship reinstated

For a variety of reasons, I performed somewhat poorly my freshman year and got below a 3.0 gpa, causing my presidential scholarship to be terminated. Obv I want to get it reinstated, so I've gotta appeal. some parts of the process are unclear to me tho.

First of all, I've heard people say that when you're appealing for the first time, they're very lenient and pretty much always reinstate ur scholarship. this conflicts with the fine print of the presidential scholarship, which explains how you need to have significant proof of extremely extrenuating circumstances to have a chance of getting ur scholarship put back. What to believe?

If I had to explain why I did poorly academically, I'd say poor mental health for a variety of reasons- severe loneliness, feelings of depression(not claiming whether i have it or not cuz im not diagnosed, but i felt depressed), disliking my major, etc. I'm not sure if any of these are viewed as legitimate reasons by the terms and conditions of the scholarship, but they are my reasons, or rather my explanation.

Regardless if my reasons are "invalid" or not, I do have a clear plan to have a better next semester. i've changed my major to something i'm much more interested in and talked with professors in the field, i'm exploring new interests and hobbies this summer which is gonna introduce me to many new people at uvm next semester, and some other stuff im making progress on.

Im just not sure if this makes a convincing argument for the reinstatement of my scholarship, and if its worth it to try and appeal. what i've heard is pretty conflicting. please lmk what you all think. Thank you!

Transfer Acceptance

Hey everyone! I’m just putting some feelers out to see if anyone could advise me on whether or not my academic standing is competitive for transfer admission to the school of business.

My current cumulative GPA is 3.5 and my SAT score is 1600. I will be graduating with my associate’s degree next year, but wondering what my next steps towards transferring to UVM would be. Thank you in advance!

Question about choosing 1st semester classes

I made an appointment with my counselor person to choose classes for the 1st semester, but I chose a late slot (June 30th). My tentative schedule says I'm signed up for a calc class at 8:30am and now I'm worried there won't be other slots available by the time I meet with the counselor. I really don't wanna get stuck with calc at 8:30am 3 days a week so what are the odds of there being other slots available?

L&L Dorm Dimensions

Hi! I am living in L&L in the fall in a single dorm on the second floor of B. I am curious if the bed will fit against the back wall. I provided images and if anyone has a better layout suggestion for maximizing space that would be great! I plan to put my desk under the bed but not sure where the best place is for the wardrobe. I had an extra dresser (3 drawers) in CCRH last year which this room doesn't have so I think I'll need more space for another small dresser of my own.
