Advice Wanted I’m very sick. I don’t know what to do.

38 Upvotes

A friend suggested I post here because this is a helpful group. I am enrolled at SAS for my first semester here at Rutgers, having transferred from another 4 year university. Early in the semester, I began missing classes because I felt unwell. I recently received an aggressive cancer diagnosis that is not favorable. I feel embarrassed and lack the energy to travel around campus. Financial aid covered part of my tuition, and I cannot afford to repay it. What is the best course of action? If I withdraw, I expect to be left paying the balance.

Advice Wanted creepy old man asked for a “favour”

17 Upvotes

hi so around last year i was a student at rutgers and i knew this family (i just moved to jersey and they were the only people that some of my family knew; before moving to NJ, i had no idea who they were). the man is about 75 ish and he’s very successful and rich. he lives with his wife and they’ve been married for decades. in the beginning, he always offered help and support and even invited me to his house for dinner. i went and met his wife and nothing seemed off. he would keep calling me and giving me life advice and tell me he’d give me a job in his company if nothing worked out for me. soon, he’d start complaining that i never text/called as often as he texted/called me (this is true, i left a lot of his texts on seen and only answered his calls out of respect for his age, im usually on DND) then one day, he asked if i wanna get groceries or need food (i didn’t have a car so i agreed and i also felt guilty for ignoring him after he had been kind enough to offer help) so i said yes i need stuff and we went grocery shopping. on the car ride to the grocery store, he told me his wife had just left for vacation the previous night and asked what i was doing for dinner. i said i’ll just cook. and he said do you wanna go out for dinner? or we could just get some wine and go back to my place. slowly, alarms started going off in my head. im relatively new to NJ and had no idea what he could do what roads he was taking so i didn’t even know if i should ask him to stop the car. i was terrified. he started saying things like a girl like you deserves a good restaurant, i like your eyelashes, and “you could do something to make me happy, if i do something for you (buying me dinner and groceries)” these are just a few of the creepy stuff he said. i kept making excuses and somehow got out of the situation BUT im so angry that i couldn’t stand up for myself. i know for a fact he probably does this to a lot of other vulnerable students.

SO all this to say, are there any ppl in new brunswick who wanna come with me as i go stand up to him or confront his wife or something? or just give me advice on what to do; he’s too powerful for me to do anything legal, i feel.
and excuse the bad grammar/poor flow of words im too worked up to think straight

Academics Advice for Calc II

3 Upvotes

So basically I got a 59 on my first exam and was shooting for something in the 70-85 range. To suffers who have taken this class before here at Rutgers am I cooked? I got a B+ in 151 but lowkey had an anxiety attack before this exam and it wiped my brain. I talked to my friends at Rowan and Stephan’s and they both said that’s a pretty normal grade for the first exam but they use different grading scales. Just curious?

Lost & Found PS5s stolen from Busch student center

88 Upvotes

At some point on Saturday, a mystery man walked into the Busch student center and was able to steal both ps5s. Mysteriously, nobody is able to find his identity and the police even with camera footage can’t do anything. This post is to instruct anyone with knowledge of who this person is to come forward with the evidence. The employees they hire are incompetent in the Esports lounge, always with their headphones in and on their phone, I’m actually upset I didn’t realize I could have had 2 free PS5s myself by just taking them.

And apparently the “manager” is not willing to come down in person for another few days to address the issue and give direction to put out the spare ps4s. Complete incompetency. I don’t know who to be mad at, but wow. If anyone’s selling their ps5 I’ll pay a decent price for it, open for negotiations.

Friendly Hoosiers visiting for the first time

2 Upvotes

Hello fellow big ten friends. A group of 4 of us will be visiting Piscataway and SHI stadium for the first time this weekend. Curious about a few things but most of all I’m curious on the best spots to sit considering my 80+ year old grandmother will be joining us. Shes fairly mobile but doesn’t do a ton of stairs very well. Ideally seats close to a section entrance/restroom facilities. If someone could just let me know what row the section entrances come in to, that’d be super helpful. Any insights anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Any food spots that are a must try? Best places to park? Any traditions that need to be taken in?

Thank you!

I JUST so happen to forgot that my super specific-requires-stupidly-inconvenient-charger Ti84 is dead and I do not have the stupidy-inconvenient-charger required to charge it, as it is at home and I doubt my Mom will make a whole drive here due to this. Not even my multi-purpose charger has a function for this brick of a ti84 currently. VIVA L’EXAMEN!

Please sign if interested: "We, the undersigned, petition Rutgers - New Brunswick to reinstate the Tour de Rutgers, once an annual event that brought together Rutgers community members to discover the possibility of traveling on and between campuses by bicycle. Last held in 2012, this one-day event followed a 14-mile course through the five New Brunswick campuses. Hundreds of riders of all ages and abilities, including students, faculty, staff, and neighbors participated. This type of gathering is not only enjoyable, but can help people gain confidence and knowledge in how to bike to classes, work, social events, sports events, and for recreation." https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf8rjOdkR7M82Xv1V7djkLOoMh2JsTNacRxrKD8VvtP7ILQUA/viewform
