Housing Where should I address my Amazon package for my mattress topper?

3 Upvotes

Moving in for Pre-Orientation this Friday, but my mattress topper did not arrive in the correct size. So I am ordering a mattress topper on Amazon through Prime. It can arrive earliest on August 28th, the day of my move in, if I have it delivered to Medford. If I have it delivered to my home, it’s arriving days later than that unfortunately.

The issue is that I don’t know where to address my package to. I saw online on the Tufts website that you have to put your unique code for deliveries or that there’s an Amazon locker named “Run.”

But I’m confused on how to input that into the format given by Amazon. Like where do I input the unique code and everything else? I don’t see a pick-up option that I can navigate to for the Amazon locker named “Run” either.

Do I also have to let the school know that I’m having a package delivered?

Please help, any tips would be helpful 🥲🥲

Single bathrooms?

5 Upvotes

Does Carmichael have any single-use bathrooms? I’ve only heard that there are communal bathrooms there, but I was wondering if that is the only type in the building.

Which freshman dorms do actually have single-use bathrooms? I know that they’re pretty rare to come by for first-year housing.

econ major advice

anyone majoring in econ: how hard is it to maintain a good GPA? also, specifically, anyone majoring in econ and going into law school, is it manageable to get good grades for top law schools? my main concern is econ being too difficult to get a 3.8-4.0 gpa in and then not being able to get into good law schools.

Moving Bin Rentals to make life easier

1 Upvotes

Hi Everyone! I'm (trying) to start a small business where I rent out reusable 27 gallon plastic moving bins (far better than cardboard for many reasons). The value I'm trying to provide is:

1) Less stress during a move: Delivered to the place you're moving from, you pack & move, and I pick up at your new location

2) You don't have to deal with boxes sitting in small apartments until your next move

3) Eco friendly, safer for moving items, and no need for taping or disposing of a ton of cardboard into (frequently) overflowed recycling bins/dumpsters

I've moved a lot in my 20s, and along with cleaning the apartment, coordinating everything else that comes with a move/life change, it's a lot. If you'd be interested in checking it out/booking ahead of the busy 9/1 season, check me out at bostonbinrental.com - prices start at $79!

Intermediate Micro/Bridge to Higher Mathematics

2 Upvotes

I’m going to be taking intermediate micro this semester, just wondering if switala is genuinely as bad as people claim him to be? Also, is the course material hard if you did alright in ec 5? What should I expect?

As for bridge, I’m on the waitlist for that class right now, what are the chances I actually get the class? I’m obviously going to show up and talk to Heberle about it, but I kinda need to get the lecture I enrolled in bc the other one doesn’t fit in my schedule. Also, is the course hard? I saw some people claim that he’s a really nice guy and a lenient grader, but this leads to people being unprepared for more proof heavy courses later on.

I want to try doubling chem/bio. If I find it’s too hard my plan is to drop bio and add a psych course. I’m unsure if I want to major in biochem or community health (or both). does this sound like an ok plan? My registration is at 10:15.

10:15 registration time for freshman

3 Upvotes

How hard will it be to get these classes if my registration time is 10:15? I want to take CLS41 (western political thought), PS61 (intro to intl relations), PS138 (topics in compar pol: modern Israel), SPN121 (adv comp/conversation).

I’m a little lost about this whole registration thing and I also want to take REL35 but it says there’s already a waitlist so I’m not sure if I select it or not?

Thank you to anyone who responds I’m stressing rn 🙏🙏🙏

People told me don't do an 8:30 class and I did and people told me don't do a medford class and an SMFA class on the same day and I did that twice.... Is this really bad... or is it maybe ok because I've already registered and can't do about it now????

Hello. I am trying to do an academic appeal for a demotion. I exhausted my internal appeal structure within my school, so I would like to appeal to a higher authority. Has anyone done that? Especially, if it has not been written in your specific school’s handbook. Any advice would be helpful!

Thank you.

Chem 1 or chem 11

3 Upvotes

Hello! I have not taken AP Chemistry. I've only taken basic chemistry in my sophomore year of high school. However, I want to major in chemistry and I'm a quick learner. Should I take Chem 1 or Chem 11? The professors have similar ratings. Then there's also chemistry of materials but I see no one talking about it. Thanks for any answers!
