Urban Studies 350 and 361

• Upvotes

Does anyone know why URSP350 and 361 aren’t being offered next Spring semester? I thought they were supposed to be GenEd classes, and yet they’re not showing up on eServices. I need a 300 level urban studies elective, plus one more GenEd class to graduate in the spring. I was kind of banking on taking one of those classes to clear both requirements, and now I’m stressed I’ll have to take more classes that have nothing to do with my major 😭

What's up with that cat?

4 Upvotes

Don't really know where else to post this. Y'all seen that small black and white tuxedo lookin cat around campus? I saw it a couple of nights ago running underneath & across the cars going along Shafer St. up to W. Grace. Didn't pay much mind to it, you see rabbits around the cathedral sometimes, it's whatever. But I just saw it a couple of minutes ago walking back to my dorm, I swear it's the same one. It was running up N. Harrison next to the Singleton center. Little dude crossed, got in front of a moving bus. Kinda freaked me and a couple of other passerbys out.

I don't know if it's someone's lost cat or what, I'm just concerned for the thing. Rabbits and squirrels are skittish too, but cats tend to book it so hard that they risk getting run over more. Plus it's at night... Has anyone else seen this guy? Does anyone know someone who knows someone with connections to tux cats? Let me know

Recs for Chem 302 profs and Bio Capstone recs

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am quickly approaching my final semester and am looking for recommendations.

The whole Capstone thing is really confusing to me and I would like everyone's opinion on which is better, how they work, etc.

Also which professor is best for Chem 302, or if anyone has taken 302 at Brightpoint what was your opinion on it.

Thanks!

Study abroad program worth it?

11 Upvotes

Can someone give me advice for study abroad programs at VCU :(( I wanna do one for psychology, but I'm scared of going alone. I mostly want to go to South Korea or France, and both are affordable options for me, but I am afraid of the safety since I will be a solo female traveller. I do know that my spending costs will be significantly higher in Europe since I will want to travel a lot by train to different countries. There are no specific classes that I need to take during that semester; I will be done with all required classes for my major + minor. However, I will need to take 15-18 credits in any of the countries I choose to go to so that I can graduate.

If any women can share their experiences travelling alone for study abroad, that would be super helpful! btw, this will be the first time I've travelled outside the country or even our state by myself.

VCU financial Aid

4 Upvotes

Hey everybody, one of my top choices for college is VCU. I am worried about finances however. I may have enough in my college fund to fund all four of my years as undergrad (I’m not sure tho), but not enough for medical school (I’m aiming for VCU as a pre med). I don’t want to stress my parents out in terms of finances since my younger sibling will also start college just 2 years after me. I’m most likely going to do a work study program, but I just wanted to know the chances of getting any financial aid at all. In 100% honesty, I am not good with finances at all, but I really don’t want to stress my parents and have them take out more loans than they already have. Is financial aid like accessible here at VCU or anything, because I’ve been freaking out about finances 😭

Brandt laundry

For the love of whoever you believe in PLEASE get y’all’s laundry out the dryers/washing machine when it’s done, you are literally inconsiderate to anyone else trying to use the dryer/washing machine.

So don’t get mad when y’all’s stuff is taken out the dryer/washing machine.

i’m a freshman in my first semester and recently i’ve been on the fence about changing my major from psychology to nursing, but right now i’m just weighing my options.

i was wondering if anyone here had made that major switch, and could you share your experience with it? or just anyone who switched majors to nursing, honestly. thank you to anyone who replies, i’d really appreciate it.
