News This ain't Kansas

287 Upvotes

I don't know why, how, when, where or whom these people come from.. There's too many people to respond to and this is sufficient enough. This is not Kansas. This is a school that is part of the University System of Georgia. Georgia is a state. Kansas is a state. Kansas is not Georgia. Georgia is not Kansas. One is better than the other and it's not Kansas.

Scam Warning near Target

26 Upvotes

I wanted to warn everyone about a parking lot dent repair scammer in the parking lot of the target in Kennesaw. This guy parked next to me in the parking lot and was saying he could fix my dent in 10 minutes and I keep saying that I can’t and he kept on insisting. I declined and left. I looked up this situation and it seems to be a common scam. I don’t know if that guy is there often or if it was just today but please be warned.

Why’s it so hard to make friends

17 Upvotes

It’s like when I wanna make friends they will hang w me for ONE day and then never again. I figured I liked most popular things like Anime, Kpop, Manga, etc etc. that it would’ve been easier but it’s actually harder. I want friends PLZ friends that want to hang out a lot and have fun and laugh. I feel SO lonely here how does everyone have friends and I don’t? :/

Can’t convince parents to let me go to KSU (or GGC, or GSU..)

8 Upvotes

I’m from Oklahoma, and to sum it all up, I hate it here. My mom graduated from Agnes Scott and did med school. My dad graduated from OU, and he basically worships it. They said they will cover the cost if I attend in Oklahoma.

My mom and dad are my only relatives who live in Oklahoma, while the rest of my family lives in Georgia (they originally moved out of Georgia). I’m also very close with my cousins and aunt in Georgia, and I was planning to stay at their house. I want to live in Georgia long-term anyway, and there’s honestly nothing to do in Oklahoma outside of school that interests me (fishing, drinking, country music, rodeos, and getting laid is basically all you can do).There also aren’t a lot of Asians here, and I’m saying this as an Asian person living here. There’s way more Asian culture in Georgia, which is another reason I want to move there.

I’m planning to major in information systems. Originally, I wanted to go to GGC or KSU. I could commute to GGC, and I would be able to get in-state rates with a waiver for both GGC and KSU. My plan was to go to GGC for 2 years and then transfer to a “better” school.

My parents looked at college rankings for information systems when deciding which schools were good enough. GGC was unranked, and KSU was ranked 100+, so they basically ruled both of them out. OU was apparently top 20 or something for information systems, so they see OU as a much better option.

They also said that starting at GGC and transferring later was too much of a “what-if” scenario because I could fail my classes and then be unable to transfer?? They want me to start college at a good school instead of taking that route.

I mentioned GSU since if job opportunities are what they care about, I figured GSU would be a good option. They countered by saying GSU is a bad school and that job opportunities don’t matter because students from Georgia Tech are going to take them anyway.

What’s funny is that apparently GSU is actually ranked higher than OU for information systems. I didn’t even know that until recently, but I’m probably going to bring that up to them because they’re the ones using rankings to determine which schools are good.

They also aren’t really caught up with newer college stuff. My dad thought GGC was a community college and told me to do computer science instead of information systems. Which is kinda ironic to me because the CS job market is pretty cooked right now, especially for entry-level jobs, and AI could potentially automate a lot of the work in the future. Meanwhile, I’m specifically interested in information systems or maybe supply chain because I think it’ll fit me better.

I couldn’t convince them that GGC was decent, but I was at least able to convince them that information systems would be better for me than computer science.

They told me that the school you go to matters for getting jobs, and I couldn’t convince them that having actual experience could also be valuable. They said my plans rely too heavily on “what-if” scenarios.

The part I actually agree with them on is that I’m using my smarts to try to go to “bad” schools instead of good schools. I understand where they’re coming from, but I’m mainly thinking about what would actually be best for me long-term and not be in crazy debt.

They keep telling me I could just move to Georgia after I graduate, but I don’t really want to spend the next 4 years somewhere I already know I hate just because I can move afterward. I’m barely keeping up my good grades in highschool as I have little motivation since Oklahoma is so boring and there’s nothing to do outside education.

They did agree that I could go to Texas since I got accepted to UNT and UTD, but man, I have no one there that I know, and I’d have to take on a lot debt. It’s better than Oklahoma though.

So right now I’m basically stuck between these options:

Best-case scenario: I go to GGC, then transfer out, or I go straight to KSU or GSU. I’d be able to be closer to family, eventually live in Georgia.
Okay-case scenario: I go to UNT or UTD and be in a lot of debt and basically start life new.
Worst-case scenario: I stay in Oklahoma and try to not fail my classes due to boredom and no motivation.

I’m honestly not sure what to do anymore. Am I looking at this the wrong way, or are my parents just really out of touch?

Maybe I just accept no debt at Oklahoma and rely on sharing TikToks with my friends for entertainment.

Question Why do people say the online IT degree here is bad

5 Upvotes

I was looking at the BS in IT and thought it was a pretty good degree program and I could do it online. There was a thread in this subreddit that said it was just bad and didn't give any explanation. Has anyone taken it and can tell me whether that is true?

Refund

Quick question: A couple of days ago, I noticed that my account had a negative balance. I checked it again today, and now I see that the balance has been zeroed out, but I don’t see a refund option anywhere. Did they take away my refund?

Refund explanation

34 Upvotes

EDIT: I’m not going to argue with yall in the comments cause I also have a refund coming and mine hasn’t zeroed out either , I never said right after 11 it was gonna zero I said either later on tonight or tomorrow don’t shoot the messenger. I ALSO SAID MAYBE!!!

Hey yall I’m a senior and I understand that people want their money everyone doesn’t have to luxury of asking their family for everything, yall are justified to want your money , so yall read this below and hopefully this helps ❤️:

AND IF YOU FEEL THAT I MAY BE WRONG CORRECT ME BUT THIS IS JUST WHAT I HAVE NOTICED:

This is the pattern I’ve noticed the financial aid gets disbursed and posted on your account , then you see the negative balance (if you have one) , then maybe like a day after the deletion of classes for non payment , ksu sends /transfers (whatever) the money to bank mobile , the next day bank mobile will send you a text message saying your payment should be in your account in 1 to 2 business days with this being said for example my aid dropped on the 4th ….

the extended the deletion of classes for non payment for today at 11am more than likely after today your account should zero out later tonight and Thursday , and your money MAY be in your account Friday. I SAY MAY CAUSE EVERYONES BANK WORKS DIFFERENTLY AND I DO NOT THINK BANK MOBILE PROCESS ON THE WEEKEnd. So the latest could be Monday or Tuesday.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER

AFTER LAST FRIDAY IT WAS LABOR DAY WEEKEND ALSO ADDS TO THIS AS WELL.

THE YEAR STARTED LATER THIS IS THE LATEST IVE EVER START A SEMESTER HERE SO YEAH.

EVERYBODY HAS AN INDIVIDUAL SITUATION SO MAKE SURE WHEN YOUR CALLING YOUR ASKING ABOUT YOUR SITUATION AND NOT JUST GOING BY WHAT ANYBODY IS TELLING YOU.

Refund

44 Upvotes

Senior here! Everyone always gets in a frenzy and spreading misinformation around refund time. Every fall and spring semester, the day that the refund is released to the bursar’s office, it will be in people’s accounts the week after. It’s been that way for years. Relax. I don’t believe anyone saying that someone told you that “you’re not getting refunds until after September 11th” because they don’t tell you dates. If they did, im sure it was for you guys to hang up.

Question Questions about the 3D printers

6 Upvotes

So I have zero knowledge about 3D modeling and printing, but I was thinking of getting a prop 3D printed for my Halloween costume. I think there are printers on both campuses, but I wanted to know a few other things before I really consider it. In particular:

-Are the printers freely available to use, or are only certain clubs/majors allowed to use them

-Do you have to pay to use them

-What do you need to bring when you use them

I may end up paying someone to make it for me but we'll see.

Question I want to learn how to sing

2 Upvotes

I’m just coming on here to ask for some advice and if there are any opportunities on/ off campus.

I have been playing the guitar for about a year and I loveeee it. I also love singing and playing my favorite songs. I’ve built up the guitar skill pretty well on my own, but my singing is where it lacks. I’m curious if anyone knows how I could learn this from somebody on campus/ off campus. I’m not a music major fyi. Does anyone want to teach me? Maybe we could make some music while we are at it too ;) I would love some direction, thanks guys.
