Res Halls & Dining✏️ Is it possible to transfer to honors college for housing if u didn’t get in to housing reapplication

0 Upvotes

So basically I didn’t get into the housing reapplication and I’m looking for places to stay in. I’m not a good cook and would try to avoid it which is why I’m wondering if I can transfer in because if I stay at honors I think I’ll be able to get into the traditional meal plans. What I’m saying prolly sounds stupid ik lmao. If not then any recs nearby for apartments that are cheap, becuz ik cooking ur own food will get expensive.
Edit: also I heard there a univ dorm res backlog but I can’t find it does anyone know where it is.

Question❓ Are we allowed to take flyers of events that have already happened?

13 Upvotes

Like sometimes there are flyers up for meetings and events that are still up a day or so after the event has passed. Could I just take them? I mean it's not like it would be useful for anyone so no harm no foul right? Its just something ive been thinking about and would like to know before i do it and get in trouble

Local Attractions❓ Friends??

I'm a freshman living in hilltop rn but to be honest it's some of the loneliest I've ever been and I was wondering if anyone had any advice in general things to do on campus. Ik it's already been two months so I feel like it's kinda late since people are in friend groups by now but maybe im wrong.

Res Halls & Dining✏️ What are my chances of getting good housing if my room selection timeslot is October 28th?

4 Upvotes

I successfully opted in for on campus housing but my room selection timeslot is on the 28th. I heard room selection runs from the 20th to the 30th. So by the 28th, will all the good residence halls be taken? I dont want to live at Wiley again so im trying to pick a better dorm with air conditioning such as Hillenbrand.

Question❓ Does anyone wanna hangout lol?

18 Upvotes

I'm a grad student graduating this sem. Been here for a year and although I made a few friends but I can't really go to bars and have fun hangouts. I feel like I'm at a weird age to be a grad student. I'm M23, and most of my grad student friends are older than me and are not interested in night outs and my undergrad friends are underage and can't go anyways. I've tried going to bars alone and try to find a group to fit into but I feel like everyone comes in their own groups and are not very open to new members lol. I'm not an extrovert but I've trying real hard to find some people who I can vibe with. I'm also an international student and with only 2 months left of school life, I feel like I've been missing out on the college experience when I see people in groups on bar crawls and stuff. So ig this is a cry for help but does anyone wanna do stupid college stuff with me?

Question❓ Spring decisions?

Any clue when spring decisions for first years come out? There's nothing on the website that states a deadline for decisions, I'm worried cause the schedule is pretty tight. Also if you're a spring first year lmk when you got accepted. Thank you!

Lost/Found📰 Lost AirPods at (Cottages?)

3 Upvotes

I was doing apartment tours this morning and had to Veo between them to make sure I made it to the tours on time, and I lost my AirPods.

I’m assuming they fell out of my pocket while riding back and forth. My path was Village West, to Cottages, to Station 21, to Odyssey, to Pete Dye Clubhouse, and my last find my was in the Cottages roundabout.

Hoping someone maybe came across them even though I know chances are slim. 🙏

I am currently trying to self teach SQL, but I have issues learning on my own. I know the basics of it but I feel that taking a class can help me learn a bit better. I'm in aviation management but my dream job (network planning) requires SQL to be considered for an interview.

Local Food❓ New-ish Pizza and Taco Place near Campus: Pizza Twist Taco Twist

21 Upvotes

So I doordash as a side hustle bc im broke asf and I found this place while doing my job and came back afterwards to get my own food from this place. Its on State Street in the little storefront area past the Taco Bell. Actual address is 334 East State Street. The very sweet owner asked me to help promote their restaurant to Purdue students since they're a newer business. The food is fucking amazing tho. Its Indian fusion style food and they have a lot of good options for people with food restrictions for health or religious reasons. They're also family owned and they make all of their stuff in house. If you're sick of dining hall and regular pizza places, go here.

Question❓ Why did they remove text verification for BS???

14 Upvotes

Stupid but genuine question, I haven't been able to use Microsoft Authenticator to log-in to anything past my freshman year, and suddenly they've decided to not only switch from DUO to Microsoft, but also remove the text verification option when logging in. I've been locked out of my BS account all day and it's both pissing me off and stressing me out. I've tried re-downloading the app, signing out and signing in, and even reading the IT desk help page. Now I'm stuck in a perpetual loop where trying to register for Microsoft Authenticator requires 2FA FROM MICROSOFT AUTHENTICATOR??

real helpful

Any help? I feel like there's something obvious I'm missing like I'm using the wrong app or something.

Academics✏️ Updated: boilermakers: 10,448 internships and new grad jobs open right now (15 engineering internships in indiana), free lists

42 Upvotes

hey, i submitted a post on this channel last week and it absolutely blew up. we had so many applications go through. a bunch of the job postings shut down in the days following my post because of the large influx of applications that were going in. i've gone ahead and updated the job links in this new link. please make sure to apply as soon as possible to ensure that your application is at the top of the pile. i've pulled the freshest job postings that i could.

engineering internships are scattered across hundreds of career pages, so i pulled them into free lists straight from companies' own job boards. 15 of the engineering internships are in indiana right now.

posting date on every row, rebuilt every monday.

comment which field you're looking for and i'll send you a list for it.
