@crybaby2024: Hi may I ask do you need negotiate with Cornell to get scholarship

@KoreanJesus: I've been interested, but I get nervous and I'm not really sure which cities would be safe and fun to visit... any recs?
KoreanJesus
19:58
Seoul is generally safe
19:58
well if you ever do I recommend printing out allergy cards in the native language! it's saved my life a few times traveling Asia, and i've been all over. Everywhere Ive been people are really accommodatng and sensitive to it and will tell you no if they don't feel they can keep you safe. but the cards are nice cuz they can go and show the kitchen if need be vs. on your phone
19:58
@LuckyDog: i did not

Thank you, contragulations!

@KermitTheHermit: You can basically leave your laptop at a coffee shop or even your phone at a subway and you have a very high chance of getting your item returned instead of being stolen.
KoreanJesus
19:59
Oh yeah, especially the areas in Gangnam
KoreanJesus
19:59

Are they SLS real?
seems pretty weird for them to be grouped like that and all private idk
JocularJock
21:14
Maybe they're updating before the weekend?

21:19
SLS class size is so tiny and yield so high probably best to ignore those when they’re all bunched up like that and private!
[] ararara
21:19
Also a good idea to ignore statistical outliers (even though I haven’t seen what their stats are!)!
[] ararara
21:20
If you Stanford As are real though congratulations that’s amazing it’s Friday so we riot!!
