Housing/Dining Second year housing

Upvotes

I am currently a freshman and I live around 8 hours away from Blacksburg (out of state). Everyone keeps saying they need to start looking for apartments soon and it’s stressing me out so bad. Do I need to get an apartment? Like why do no sophomores/older live in dorms? I feel like dorming is just easier for me but if anyone has any advice please let me know!!

Advice Should I visit Blacksburg for the CS career fair?

Upvotes

Hey there! I just finished my masters in CS over the summer (online). I'm looking for a product/design role, and maybe software engineering.

I'm mostly interested in a remote job or somewhere Florida/California/Texas. Also, my coding skills are meh. I'm currently working on them. I wouldn't pass a FAANG technical interview, but could get by on a non-faang interview.

I currently live in Georgia and it's a 7 hour drive. Would it be worth going?

Misc Lost keys between Squires Parking Lot, 7-11 and Farmers Market Park, Reward

Upvotes

Around 12:30pm Monday, I unlocked our car behind TOTs in the Squires Parking lot, let the dog out (Jasper - if you're familiar) and we went for our usual walk up the hill behind the armory, around the annex buildings and then over to 7-11 for a coffee for me and a hot dog for him. Then we sat in the Farmers Market park for 15 minutes and walked back down Draper towards the Milk Parlor, at which point I realized my keys were missing. I quickly retraced my steps and had no luck finding them. I retraced them over and over all day til 11pm and could not find them. Replacement keys for our car are ridiculously expensive so it was a necessary effort.

The keys are on a 4" heavy brass clip, with a caliper that holds two strands - one for the car fob and one that has four keys on it. Laid out it has a total of 4-5 keys and a car fob and is about 9-10 inches long. If by any chance you've picked them I will pay a reward. Text 540-553-6933. Thanks for your attention.

I would be transferring from UVA with a 3.4 gpa, good letters of recommendation, but no relevant work experience for this program. What are my chances of admission? Has anyone in this subreddit been admitted to this program before?

Advice I'm looking for a friend!

Upvotes

Hello! I'm a grad student and I'm looking for someone whom I had the pleasure of making acquaintances with! She was part of the Venture Out team and helped me and my Cohort on the last day of our orientation.

I was so tired, I forgot to ask for, at least her socials, but she was a super chill person and really cool, but since we have different majors the chances of us crossing paths are *very* slim (I wouldn't be surprised if I have better chances at winning the lottery than finding her ;-;)

But, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice/help me find her, I'm not gonna doxx this person on here but she was a really cool person, and I'd love to, at least, link up on socials (IG specifically)

If you happen to know people who work on the Venture Out team/are one of those people, please feel free to reach out to me! I'd love to make new friends, and I appreciate all the help 😊
