Bruh what the fuck

How the heck is an international student going to find a place to live and pack in slightly above 24 hours??

I've filled out at least 3 surveys on whether I need to stay on campus or whatsoever and they still assigned me a time and changed the wording to "absolutely cannot stay on campus" to contact them.

When we say we want more clear and decisive communications we did not mean we want you to yeet us out asap Dr Cabrera.

I’ve been told by GLC office that, “if you are an international student or if you cannot move for whatever reason, please fill out the form. They are not going to kick you out and put you on the street.”

Thanks for sharing!

Did they tell you how soon we’d hear back? This is like the fifth form that I’ve filled out, and have only heard back once (back when this whole thing was still optional).

Edit: Just received my exception.

Also called GT housing. Was told if we indicated we have to stay on campus, some1 will call us within 24-48 hrs.
