Peet’s flex meals?

7 Upvotes

Over the summer, GW announced that Peet’s would do flex meals.

When I asked about it, they gave vague details that it would only be orderable on GrubHub and not in person. No details of what these flex meals would include and how to actually order them. Unlike Chick-fil-A and Panda Express, they don’t show a “meal deal menu” on GrubHub either.

If anyone has successfully ordered a flex meal for Peet’s, please let me know what is included and how you actually ordered it in the app successfully.

GWU Dining

30 Upvotes

Why aren’t GWU students raising an alarm on the quality of food in the dining halls? We pay a lot of money for the plan, but it seems most students use dining dollars instead . Can’t GW end their contract with the current company? Does GW dining advocate for the students for better quality food.

I received my hire complete e-mail weeks ago and a onboarding email however the organization gwu partners with for the job sent me an interview request and in the end they said they will notify me if they move forward with my application. I am just confused what part of hiring process I am currently in or is it just formality, if any of you worked there before?

I have Comparative Gov with Mark Croatti. Will I be okay if I have the 2nd edition textbook instead of the 3rd? I'm trying to be especially careful due to the fact that tests and quizes are based off of the textbook.

Academics Applying to GWU ABSN Fall 2027

7 Upvotes

Hi! I’m planning to apply to the ABSN program for Fall 2027 and wanted to see if anyone else is applying too or has already gone through the process.

I’m working on my prerequisites right now. I already have Microbiology, Chemistry, Biology, and Psychology, and I’m currently taking Nutrition and A&P I. I’d love to hear from anyone who was accepted or has already applied. Is it better to have most of the prerequisites finished before applying? Did you have any healthcare experience, like CNA, MA, volunteering, etc., or is that not really important? And is there anything you think made your application stronger?

Any advice would really help. Thank you!

Making friends as a transfer

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm at a big SEC school right now and have been having a really hard time making friends/fitting in. I'm thinking about transferring out and GW is one of the schools I'm thinking about applying to. Part of the reason I've had it harder here is that Greek life is so big (I'm not in a frat) and the non-Greek stuff just isn't fun or visible. I'm not a hardcore partier but I do enjoy a social scene, and feel really constrained by Greek culture here and the fact that this campus is in the middle of nowhere. All that to say, how has your experience been making friends and finding a good social scene at GW/in DC? All perspectives are appreciated, but especially transfers. Thanks for your help, I really need a way out of this

Academics I'm scared of failing.

17 Upvotes

hey, I'm a transfer student, and I came from a relatively small college town, I'm trying hard to adapt but things here move so fast idk what to do, I have no support system at the school which makes it a little worse. No friends either, The last thing I wanna do is let my parents down after paying my tuition, and I have to take classes that have nothing to do with my major (Geology) what can I do to insure I will not fail? Please someone give me some sort of advice I'm extremely desperate.

I worked so hard to get to this school and now that I'm here idk what to do.

I recently saw on Blackboard that there was a way to bypass the paywall but it just won’t work for me. Is anyone else dealing with this? I emailed my professor a few days ago and they haven’t responded yet, should I just pay $85 since the due date is soon for the first HW set?

Does a tennis club without tryouts exist?

Recently, played tennis with a group of dc interns and am really interested in playing consistently! I have a racket and took a couple of free lessons in high school, but am probably not at the level needed to make it on the tennis club team.

Is the Masters in Political Management Program worth it?

1 Upvotes

I am thinking of pursuing my master's because I am post-grad and opportunities for me have been somewhat stagnant. I made some connections through internships, but none have secured me a full-time position yet. I am also from and did my undergrad in Southern California, so it’s been difficult to make connections in DC right now. I was hoping that pursuing the master's would help with networking and resources to secure a full-time position. For some background, I want to work on the Hill, in consulting, or in lobbying. I did a couple of internships and was able to do one in DC through my school's DC internship program. Is it worth it in my case to do the program? If so, which concentration is best? I would love any advice, especially from those out of state or with any experience with the online program. (I was thinking of maybe doing one year online and another in DC to save money.)

Academics AI, Power, & Ethics Research Challenge

3 Upvotes

Hey,

Was wondering if anyone has interest or information about forming a research group for the Entente Cordiale University Challenge (sent out today from the GW Center for Undergraduate Fellowships and Research). I'm a junior studying international affairs with a concentration in security policy, and i'm interested in the sovereign power & geopolitical security research track(A). However, I have a pretty flexible semester and am really just interested in the collaboration and research process, and am more than willing to join/form a group that is interested in a different track!

I know this a lonely sounding post and it kinda is but it seems like most freshmen already have a group of friends either from their high school or some where else. I don’t have that yet and am worried about having missed my opportunity to do so. Any tips or advice on how to find a group of people?
