I am a freshman at college and when i moved in with my first roommate i had some problems with him. He snored, he was messy, and overall not a nice person at all. I requested for a new room and roommate, moved out, and i am now happy, well sort of. When i first moved in I gave my roommate $90 for my half of the microfridge and when i moved to ther room that i was going to be sharing another fridge with I asked for the money back. He wouldn't give it to me! I was so mad I yelled at him and now he won't give it back and I don't know what to do. Please help.

I've always changed my mind about what major I wanted to go for. I already have a 2 years associates degree in business, and planned to transfer to a university for a Marketing Bachelors. I'm already 22 though, because I took alot of part time semesters in order to work on starting up a business that I devoted alot of time to. Due to this, obviously, I'm a little older than I should be. I really want to go to Vet School... but I feel like now I'm getting too old, because I would have to switch into Biology for my bachelors (which would be another 4 years) and THEN the 4 years into Vet school. Plus, my dad has been funding school this whole time, so I really feel awful changing my mind. I JUST CAN'T DECIDE! Does anybody have any guidance they can give me? I'm interested in everything, from designing, to computers, to business, to animals.. AHHHHHHHH! Thanks. lol.

In class we were given the prompt

"Kreka, the Wife of Attila, Welcomes Priscus and the Other Ambassidors from Rome (448 CE) "

and this website with info...

From my understanding and research, I've come to find the Huns as slightly more advanced people, in the sense of weaponry, whose force could be seen throughout southern Roman cities through their ransacking. However, I'm not quite sure as to why the Ambassadors are being welcomed by the Huns in the first place. Seeing as they tend to use force where they go, what's the significance of welcoming these people?

Can someone please give me specific info of where it says what's going on?

At my school in Canada we use the percentage system.. where an A is 86%-100% and a B is 73%-85%. I heard that in US schools though a 90%- 100% is an A.

Will universities caluculate my GPA based on their 90% definition of an A or my province's 86% being an A?

Also, say I averaged like a 92% average throughout high school, but got like 2 Bs in the process....will they calculate my GPA based on my individual letter grades or my overall percentage?

thanks=)

I want to know what is wrong witht these sentences?
Do you think the word "have" after " successful student" should be "has"?
As a Hispanic student, I have faced challenges since I came to the United States. One of them was the language; however, my perseverance and motivation to become a successful student have been the key to overcoming obstacles in my life.

My child's school makes a big deal about class rank but I don't see too many colleges that even discuss it on there admissions pages. Maybe I'm missing something.

It seems strange that a high school would focus so much on this issue because 50% of students no matter what will be in the top half and 50% in the bottom.

I cannot fiqure out why so many employers won't hire me for an entry level IT position I graduated 4 years ago with a degree in Computer Information Systems and have failed yet to land that first entry level in IT. I have applied just about everywhere. I have worked as an adminstrative assitant, subsitute teacher, and para at a school, but have yet been able to get hired in IT industry in these 4 years. I even went back and got a bunch of certifications. A+ , Network+, MCSA, Cisco, but that didn't do anything!

So giving up on the IT industry I am currently in graduate school working on getting a masters in special education, apparently finding entry level jobs with no job experience is very easy in the teaching profession, I see it happen all the times at the schools I have subbed for.

I mean is abandoning the IT industry a right move? I fiqure it is since during 4 years after graduating never could land that IT job, so I fiqure going in education is the smarter .

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how soon colleges receive SAT scores? If I decide to send my scores to colleges upon signing up for the SAT, do the colleges receive the scores as soon as I receive mine online?
i.e. If I took the test Oct. 6, and the scores are online by Oct 30th, will the colleges receive the scores on the 30th?
