On Sunday morning around 1:30-2am, myself, my partner, and a friend of ours were in line at raising canes when we were approached by two private security guards and told we had to choose in or out. The building was crowded and we were standing with the door propped open. Very quickly after they approached us they threw my friend out of the building quite violently. At this point I got involved and was yelling that he wasn’t doing anything wrong. A guard told me to leave and I began backing out of the area while continuing to talk to security. A third party then got involved and was yelling slurs and inflammatory remarks at my partner and I. (For context we are both transgender) the security was doing nothing about this guy and were even laughing while he called us all manner of hateful things. As I continued to be backed out of the U square area the third party was following the security and continuing to yell at us. Once we got to the edge of the securities self proclaimed jurisdiction the third party shoved my friend to the ground extremely hard and his head hit the concrete. Security did nothing about this and when my friend got back up the three of us were maced by the security guards. I have been in contact with the police, raising canes and U square management. I have found that the security guards are contracted from a company called protos security. They made a big deal about how they had body cams but when I asked for a badge number or any way to identify them they refused. Who keeps these people accountable? Who reviews that body cam footage? They are armed with guns, mace, and other weapons and are not afraid to use them. My partner noticed that a few people were filming this interaction, if anyone has that footage it would be greatly appreciated. These people should not be serving our community and need to be held accountable for blatant abuse of power.

TLDR: two trans people and their friend got thrown around and maced by some private security hired by raising canes, rowdy paw, and shake shack and were physically assaulted and verbally harassed by an uninvolved party and are hoping to get footage from bystanders

I’m a prospective student and I’m wondering about the co-op opportunities?

So I’m assuming that it’s 5 required co-op rotations, but the job market is really tough so I’m just basically asking what happens if you can’t secure a job for that rotation, and how likely is that?

Any kind of insight is helpful 😭

When do you find out if you make deans list or where do I check?

Hi,

I got accepted for Masters in Public health as a Graduate program at College of medicine, University of Cincinnati as an International student.

It is very upsetting that there was no scholarship offered in the offer letter, making me feel low-esteem about my academics. ( 3.7 gpa and 7.5 ielts)

Are there any merit based scholarships after the 1st semester. And are there any other opportunities like research assistance/TA/GA, on campus part times , anything to aid the financial tension.

And how is the college for education, real time practical training and research aiding for career and jobs.

I would also like to know the living style and expenses and the safety of the city and off-campus availability.

Please help me clear my head so that i can make a better decision.

Btw, I got accepted to other universities for the same program and another program.

Northeastern University, University of Alabama, University of Springfield Illinois, Long Island University - Masters of public health.

Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health care - Clinical investigations and Development.

I applied for Suny Albany, although the application is still under review.

Is my decision to obtain I 20 for University of Cincinnati good.? I'm in a turmoil right now tbh ...

Thank you in advance for helping me.

Hello,
I am searching for someone to help me do some film for my wedding in September for a decent price. Possibly a daap student who needs help developing their portfolio or just wants to make some extra cash for helping out?? I would need you for probably like 2 or 3 hrs maybe but really I just want to be able to have some film to show my kids one day. We are willing to pay you of course and the film job I know will be like way better than anything my aunt or uncle would do with their phone or camcorder.

Basically my roommate literally just told me she got a full ride to cincinnati and can't roommate with me anymore due to requirements. What do I do now? Like now I'm gonna get stuck with a random roommate since it's past housing deadline. Can I do something about this? Has anyone been in a similar situation where your roommate plans change because I'm still a senior in high school and I don't know anything about how housing works at Cincinnati. Please help thank you. Any advice really

i’m feeling so discouraged, and just disappointed at the moment. basically my first semester of my freshman year i did terrible and ended with 2.5, this past spring i did a lot better and ended with 2 b’s, 2 a,s, one c and unfortunately i just found out one d. my gpa was around a 2.9 before the d dropped it back down to a 2.5. i feel so upset right now i tried so hard this semester and the class i got a d in wasn’t even a hard class i just did terrible on the final. i was so excited to rush next fall, and have been looking forward to it this entire school year. unfortunately almost all the sororities have a gpa requirement over 2.5. i highly doubt they make exceptions for gpa, but i would love to hear anyone’s advice of input.

Hi quick question!

I just finished my first semester back at UC. I had to submit an SAP appeal back in January to get my financial aid back and now they are reviewing my account every semester to make sure I am on track. My account is currently on hold until they review my progress this semester. I had to keep at least a 2.0 GPA and I have a 3.5 so I am not worried about them taking my aid back again.

With that being said, has anyone experienced how long after grades are finalized does it usually take for them to take my account off hold and release my financial aid back?

My last grade was finalized on Wednesday May 6th and the first day of the semester is Monday May 11th. It says in the email I should have an update prior to the first day of the summer term but tomorrow is Friday and I figure I probably won’t hear back during the weekend.

Anyone experienced how long this takes? Was really hoping to get the money before the semester starts so I can get a new laptop and was just curious if a timeline if anyone has info.

Thanks!
