Libraries STOP TALKING IN GELMAN

76 Upvotes

Don't you know that floors 3 through 6 are quiet study spaces? Even if you didn't know, don't you get the sense that you should keep quiet from the atmosphere alone?

If you want to chat with friends, book a group study room or go back to your dorm. I wonder if people who talk as if the library is a Starbucks have any basic manners or understand library rules. You guys are all adults, so act like it.

And am I the only one who feels that Gelman gets much louder right before midterms and finals? If you’re at the library, study quietly; if you’re not going to study, go out and talk somewhere else.

Announcements Mandatory Flairs

6 Upvotes

Hi [r/gwu](r/gwu),

In an effort to support the organization of the subreddit, we're going to be making flairs mandatory on all posts.

Many large communities on reddit have mandatory post flairs. Benefits include making content more easily searchable by category, reducing spam, and providing some quick visual context on a post beyond the title.

I have also added new flairs, removed some old flairs, and retooled some existing flairs to both better capture the discussions I see on the subreddit and perhaps better convey the types of discussions and posts that are appropriate for the subreddit.

I have also adjusted the color schema of the flairs to have a more consistent visual appearance.

Anyone who has any feedback is encouraged to send in a modmail, especially ideas for flairs that I may not have considered or for flairs that may not suit a post you're seeking to make.

Thanks,

-2C

Academics Online Systems Engineering masters

2 Upvotes

Intending to apply for the online MS in Systems Engineering, and just curious for those that have already gone through the program, has the name recognition helped in areas outside of DMV? Currently Midwest/west coast area, and while I’ve been familiar with the school from living in Virginia, I can’t say that I’ve seen much from alumni in which the name actually helped a bit outside the area.

Study Abroad Taiwan - Short term study abroad Winter 26/27

2 Upvotes

I recently discovered i've been accepted into the
"Taiwan Resilience u see Military Coercion" for this winter. Has anyone else gone on a short term study abroad program with GW? I'm curious to know how you paid for it and what external resources/funding you found the most helpful.
I'm not surprised but rather disappointed with GW's lack of accommodations for the week and half long trip.

Are any other seniors planning on doing the 4+1 program at Milken? I want to hear from anyone who’s gone through the process, or alumni who can share their experience or advice.

Has anyone heard back from the GWU Systems Engineering PhD (on campus) program? I have applied for Spring 2027, but did not receive any notifications yet. I reached out to the department grad coordinator for an application status, but he told me he does not have an update yet!

If anyone is in a similar situation, please share. Also, any idea when we can know about decisions?

Academics Has anyone been accepted to GW ABSN program with outstanding science prerequisites?

3 Upvotes

I’m planning to apply to George Washington University’s ABSN program for Fall 2027, but I’m a little worried about my outstanding science prerequisites.
By the end of Fall 2026, I’ll have completed Anatomy I and II, Nutrition, Statistics, English1 and 2, Psychology, Humanities, and Biomedical Ethics.
The only two science prerequisites I’ll have left are Microbiology and Chemistry, which I’m enrolled to take in Spring 2027. However, I would really like to submit my application before completing those courses.
I saw on GWU’s website that they recommend having the core science courses completed before applying to be more competitive, and that’s what worries me.
Has anyone applied with two outstanding science prerequisites and still gotten accepted? Did you receive a conditional acceptance, or did you have to wait until those courses were completed?
I’d really appreciate hearing more experiences

Question: I got accepted into GWU for Spring 2027 and I'm wondering if there's anything I should do to prepare myself? Something to review or a free course to take? I've got a few months I could easily wish I didn't waste once the going gets tough, I know the program is relatively fast-paced.

Study Abroad Study Abroad Advice

Hi! I just received a nomination for Luiss University in Rome through the study abroad office, but I have to accept it by tomorrow at 5 PM. I’m still waiting to hear back about my application to Lorenzo de’ Medici in Florence, so I’m trying to decide whether I should accept Luiss now or wait for LDM.

Has anyone studied abroad at either Luiss or Lorenzo de’ Medici? I’d especially love to hear about housing since I have to look for it on my own for Luiss.

Any advice or personal experiences would be really appreciated!
