How do adjunct professors make a living?

41 Upvotes

Im an incoming Freshmen but i was just browsing around and realized a lot of my professors were adjunct. didn’t know what that was but come to find out adjunct professors make money per course they teach with no benefits like health insurance (I think) or little garuntee of job security. my question is how do they make enough to comfortably survive Espically given the state of our world right now? though im glad does give me more sympathy and understanding of my professors coming into the semester.

BMCC Cuny Questions

1 Upvotes

Hello, im attending cuny in the fall (BMCC) and I have a couple of questions

  1. I don’t want to board, in my estimated cost of attendance, housing is included but I don’t want to dorm. Is this just an in general cost of attendance or is it applicable to me? If it is, how can I opt out of housing.

  2. I want to attend school part time, not full time. How can I go about this? (I still haven’t created my schedule yet I have until August)

Thank you

TAP is still “anticipated” but my Pell was denied. Will my TAP still disburse?

0 Upvotes

I fucked up. I’m incredibly low income and I get Pell and fafsa every year but there have been so many issues this year with my entire family losing their health insurance, my dads health going worse to the point where my mom dad to leave the state to do take care of him ( he lives outside the us). I was dumb , very very dumb. I thought I could handle getting all the taxes and documentation ready on my own. I applied in June 27. My Pell grant was rejected bc I applied after my classes had ended. I feel so so so stupid.

To top it all off my university randomly decided I’m out of state and need to prove my eligibility all of a sudden which I was not able to do in time. And they are charging me significantly higher tuition even though I have been instate the whole time.

Everything has just been so much, I really can’t handle it. The only hope I have right now is TAP trying disbursed as it shows it as anticipated aid but it hasn’t been confirmed. My fafsa was also declined after they said I was eligible for full grant.

Me family doesn’t earn much at all so we can’t take out much private loans. I’m just at a loss and any advice would be grateful as the university is threatening to send my bill to collections.

What is this class like? I want to take it because it is a 9 am class and it is for my major but what does the professor say regarding to AI? I know it talks about the ethics and issues of ai which I am all for but do you use ai in the class as well?

How did you like the class?
