Do any rooms have bathrooms in them?

Hi! I am planning on applying for accommodations for a single, but was wondering if anyone knows whether the singles even have bathrooms in them anyway? Due to my disability, I can't use a communal shower because I can fall easily.

Additionally, does anyone have any experience with accommodations and know if they will typically honor the request for a single?

I feel like I’m too dumb to do my major

I genuinely can’t sleep because I feel like I’m regretting a lot. I’m going to a research school for undergrad and applied Biology (will probably switch to Biochemistry.) There’s technically no premed path besides taking the required classes which I’ll do through my major anyways. I am really worried though as I haven’t been the strongest in school. I struggle a lot in math and science which I know makes no sense because of my major but I’m really passionate about doing something surrounding pediatric cancer since I’m a survivor.
I am currently in AP Precalc and all I could think of when I did the exam was how doomed I am for college. I am planning on doing calc 1 over the summer but going forward I’m still gonna have more math classes and I genuinely am afraid I’ll tank my GPA right away. I took AP Chem junior year and struggled sooo bad & ended up with a 3.

While a part of me is still trying to be excited for college I am honestly terrified. I feel so stupid in comparison to my peers and am questioning if I should do something I’m better at (humanities)

It’s like everyone is so happy to move on but I am so filled with fear and I genuinely feel very lost.

Chemistry requirement

Hi! I’m going to be a freshman this year and was just wondering if anyone had any insight on credits or any advice on what I should do!
I took AP Chem junior year and got a 3 (☹️) which means no credit for me..
I was thinking of maybe doing Gen chem 1 at the CC near me this summer but then I realized that there probably wouldn’t be a Gen chem 2 fall semester for freshman because its usually a spring class. I also looked into CLEP exams but I really couldn’t find anything on if Rochester would take it.

I really just want to be done with Gen chem at this point 😭 it would be my 3rd yr taking chem (honors, ap, now gen) and I’m mostly just over it. I would have to do Organic which I know is said to be the hardest thing ever 💔

If anyone has any insight lmk!
(Planning on Biochem possibly pre-med)

How are all you guys doing this..

I’m so drained and I know everyone is gonna call it senioritis but I’ve felt this way all year and it’s hitting real hard right now. I have struggled sm mentally this year and I’m finding it especially hard to care right now. I locked in so hard for college apps and then was disappointed. I honestly am not excited about anything. I also feel so lonely because I don’t have friends to really do any of the senior activities with. My bestfriend lives states away and literally gets out of school next week.On top of this since im in NY we graduate at the very end of June. Thankfully theres state testing before then so I don’t have to be in school but I’m barely holding on. The only AP I cared about was Bio and the others I barely studied for. I still have precalc and spanish lang and I genuinely can’t bring myself to study knowing I get absolutely no credit for them. On top of this I have so much school work I’m missing, finals, and college stuff. I am exhausted and mentally falling back into the hole I was on at the beginning of the year. I get the year isn’t over but my teachers genuinely have no leniency and it’s so incredibly frustrating, and I know on the outside it looks like I’m a bad student.

Idk I feel so alone, is anyone else dealing with this? And I’ll take any advice really

Is it stupid to major in science as a premed?

I’m honestly so conflicted because I’m being told so many different things. I’m going to be a freshman this fall and am planning on doing premed even though I’m not even set on med school (I really don’t want to do it but for my specialty I’ll probably have to.) I’m majoring in some type of Biology (as of right now probably Biochemistry) but am being advised that’s a dumb decision because If I back out of med school I’ll be left unemployed?? My goal is cancer research like I absolutely want to do this (I’m a cancer survivor so it genuinely means sm to me) but I also am becoming more interested in actually interacting with patients

What doesn’t help is I’m unfortunately not very good at math & science. Like I would say for science I’m mediocre and math I struggle A TON. This worries me because I know for med school you need to practically have a perfect GPA & if I’m going to be taking upper level maths and sciences I know I’ll probably struggle a lot. I do love history and english but despite that I can’t really see myself dedicating a whole 4yrs to it. And I mean I love science but I’m just not good at it 😭

This is honestly stressing me out a ton. It’s like I can’t really win no matter what I do.

I'm an AP Chemistry survivor, and I failed all my tests in class (some as low as 30%) and barely answered the FRQ, yet somehow got a 3. I know you all want higher than I 3, but truly, I thought I failed so! DON'T PULL AN ALL-NIGHTER!! I literally started falling asleep during the exam last year; it's not worth it. Make sure you read the questions carefully, too!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE, if feels awesome to be free from ap chem (not so awesome that I have to take gen chem but yk..)

I'm so confused, I did one practice test and got a 39/60, then did another and got a 28/60. I want to just give up atp this makes no sense at all.

I am seriously so nervous. I got a 39/60 on my mcq and that really made me scared. I honestly don’t know how to improve. I am gonna start grinding through frqs because we never did any in class but the anxiety is making me too afraid to even start. I still need to figure out all the graphing (I didn’t even know what error bars were.) I feel super unprepared and I really want a 4 or 5. The cluster mcqs are the absolute worst and I truly feel like I’m dumb trying to do them.
I’ve been watching sciencemusicvideos & ap bio penguins but I feel like I still don’t understand everything.
Is there any hope?? And does anyone have any advice?
My class was dual enrollment and all my tests were that style (not AP AT ALL) so I can’t even look over anything

Hi all! I’m really in need of some guidance of what to do here.

I 18 (f) have an online friend 18 (f), who I’ve known for a year. We have gotten really close and in getting to know her she’s opened up to my here struggles with mh ($h, si, depression.) Her parents genuinely do not care. She also has told me she doesn’t want help in navigating this.

Over this week she has informed me she’s seriously considering not being here anymore, that “she could do it anyday.” I have always done my best to be there for her but honestly I think it’s gotten to a point for her now and because of that I am deeply concerned. It’s the fact I physically cannot be there that sucks, I could say so much but at the end of the day I’m not there to stop her.

This is causing me a lot of anxiety, I have exams soon and this is truly all I can think about. I feel like I should tell someone now. I know where she goes to school and so I had the idea that maybe I call there? I am worried she’ll find out it was me who called though. Most of all I’m worried I’ll make things worse. She has talked to the school psychologist before but ofc she cant really tell them this stuff.

I think I’m genuinely cooked. Whenever I do practice questions I seriously have no clue what the right answer is most the time, like I feel like I’m basically just guessing everything. I just did mcq for Unit 4 and got 18/31, like I truly don’t understand the questions even if I THINK I know the content?? I’m trying to go through each unit & then do notes and practice

We also barely did frqs in class so I’m just overall hopeless at this point. I’m also running on 30 mins of sleep because I have 6 exams to study for
