A quick definition of shelter:

Shelter is a safe place where people can go to protect themselves from danger or harm. There are different types of shelters, like homeless shelters for people who don't have a place to live, women's shelters for women and children who are escaping domestic violence, and youth shelters for young people who need a safe place to stay. Some shelters also offer help with finding a job, getting medical care, or applying for public assistance. Tax shelter is a way to save money on taxes.

A more thorough explanation:

A shelter is a place where people can go to be safe from danger, attack, or observation. There are different types of shelters:

  • Homeless shelter: A place where homeless people can stay overnight for free. They may also offer help with finding a job, getting medical care, and applying for public assistance.
  • Women's shelter: A place where women and their children who are victims of domestic violence can stay temporarily. They may also offer counseling, employment assistance, and medical care.
  • Youth shelter: A place where young runaway or homeless people can stay for a short time. Some may also offer long-term training to help them lead independent lives.

Example: A homeless person can go to a shelter to have a safe place to sleep at night and get help finding a job or getting medical care.

Example: A woman who is a victim of domestic violence can go to a women's shelter to have a safe place to stay and get counseling and medical care.

Example: A young person who has run away from home can go to a youth shelter to have a safe place to stay and get help with finding a job or getting an education.

These examples illustrate how shelters provide a safe place for people who are in need of help and support.

@NemoPropheta: mine was on a chill team so i had a good time, but apple works like a bunch of little companies that report to the same ppl so its a little isolating if you're not in the same office/don't go out much. i didn't take RO to intern again
14:32
i applied cold and happened to team match well from something i did on a prior internship
@Sex-Drive: we have entirely different living standards if you think 60k is "hardly anything to live off of:"
i make around that in a hcol area and feel like im balling out while saving over 20% of my income
@Sex-Drive: Seconding what Windy's saying. I live in a LCOL and I'm fully able to support myself and my family on my paycheck alone. $60k in a HCOL while single was living check to check.

What did they even post?
probably calling me an anti-hispanic slur
if I want to transfer to nyu is it better to go to washu or cardozo
(also why does nyu accept so many transfers from brooklyn lmao, what other t125 will let you transfer that high)
15:07
transferring is grades dependent so "better" is a little weird to define - a lot of ppl don't want to give up schollys/networks for ranking purposes. that being said im going to dozo and hoping for a nyu transfer lol
15:08
i think they take a lot from brooklyn just by the nature of being a nyc school. 3 out of 15 transfers out of cardozo went to nyu last year which is technically a good sign but you'd consider that the rate of ppl at washu wanting to move to nyc and pay sticker after a year is probably lower than the rate of ppl at nyc schools who want to
15:09
i dont really know how important it is to be median vs 75th of transfer gpa but id imagine keeping a B+/A- average is pretty hard in 1L and easier said than done
