Here is the response from Admissions: Enrollment management is a complex endeavor. BC’s predictive enrollment models are highly effective in using historical yield patterns to forecast future enrollments. As effective as these models typically are, historical data do not always perfectly forecast future decisions that admitted students will make. For example, the admission offers extended to the sophomore Class 2021 resulted in a larger number of students accepting our invitations than our models predicted. Enrollment Management quickly accounted for this change by updating the enrollment models for the Class of 2022 – and then enrolled the current freshman class almost exactly as the models forecast. What can we say? BC is a popular destination.
According to the company website (bit.ly/WhatIsThisStuff); pork with ham, salt, water, potato starch, sugar, and sodium nitrite. If you mean the pink meaty stuff in the can. But if you mean in the email… that can be very scary stuff indeed! Don’t click on it!
It all depends on your definition of “beauty” and “truth”, and also on where you apply the formula. John Keats’ famous declaration “Beauty is truth, thruth beauty” works perfectly well in the realm of poetry. I am not sure it would work flawlessly in areas such as Politics, Social Sciences, Mathematics or Religion.
Books prefer cool temperatures and low humidity–it helps them live long lives and avoid problems like mold. There are way more of them than humans here, so that’s why. All the librarians have sweaters and such in their offices, so it’s not just you.
BC Dining loves to get feedback – I’d contact them at bit.ly/BCDiningComment My helper tells me there are good low/no fat options available at the salad bar in Lower. I hope you’re able to find food that meets your needs!
WOOF! … WOOF! WOOF!
I haven’t heard of Wagworth, but there’s rover.com, wagwalking.com, aandbpets.com, and barkandstroll.com. Hope that gets you walking with your furry friends!
Dining Services responds: “The lines have been longer than we have experienced in the past so we are working on some menu changes to increase the speed of service. The first few days of classes at dinner were particularly challenging but we have noticed some improvement. We will be offering Mobile Ordering at Addie’s Loft soon so that will help students in a hurry since they can order in advance and then just pick up without waiting in line. We plan to have this up and running soon.”
The wall is reliably informed that supervisors are continuing to review applications. Keep the faith, and check your email daily in case you are invited to an interview.
Um, gross. Perhaps a more respectful tone would serve you better.
Absolutely. Every day your actions affect others, and every day is an opportunity to make your interactions with others have meaning. Maybe I’ve been listening to the Hamilton soundtrack – available at Course Reserves, O’Neill 3rd Floor – too much (is that even possible?), but if you are interested in your legacy, it makes good food for thought.
Employees enjoy bringing snacks from home, buying them in the vending machines on O’Neill level 1, going for a short walk on campus to Hillside, Stokes Chocolate Bar, Lyons, McElroy, or Lower, or strolling down to the eateries near the BC T stop. Some have even been found grazing as far afield as Cleveland Circle or Newton Centre.
Yes, indeed, that sounds like it would be mighty convenient! I’m sure cost is an issue. Here’s what my human assistants heard from Information Technology: “ITS is actively working with UGBC and the Quality of Student Life Committee to accommodate changing student printing needs, while balancing the costs and support associated with it.”
Walls have traditionally been built to keep people and things separated, but I’d like to think that my existence as a wall helps to bring people and ideas together. There are many digital realms that allow people to share ideas (although they can also be divisive). So, perhaps the wall I’d build would be a virtual, communal space for all people to support each other.
You’re telling yourself two stories: one about your own shortcomings and one about your friend’s successes. A story about shortcomings is just an unfinished story about successes. You’re putting endings in the wrong places, that’s all. In stories about your friend you put the endings where things work out. In stories about yourself, you put the endings where things go wrong. Just shuffle your stories around, and keep pushing through until things work out. I think you’ve got what it takes.
There are do-it-yourself shakes (“freal”) available in a freezer case near the cashiers at Lower Live; you pick out the one you want and there is a machine nearby to make it into a shake. Some tasty flavors, too – cookies and cream, peanut butter cup… Other sites on main campus did milkshakes in the past but alas, no more..
I don’t talk, but that’s sweet, thank you. 617-552-4472 is the number for the reference desk. Ask my helpers anything. http://bit.ly/bc-call-me
I don’t believe that happiness is dependent on a long life. Instead, I believe happiness is dependent on a fruitful, meaningful life. As Lao Tzu said: “The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long.”
Pika… chu! You are welcome in the library, but please keep your lightning zaps under control. There’s a lot of paper in this building.
