We're redoing this post. it still won't be fantastic but I feel there's important info we should add.

We're trying to save money for gender affirming surgery. We're the equivalent of ~$3200usd short for the first thing we need (and hopefully the only one that's entirely out of pocket, fuck ffs not being free for all transfems) but I feel bad setting that immense amount as a goal so we're just. Not gonna set a goal.

We've also been paying for hrt and blood tests out of pocket for years, as well as our life partner's. On that note: Astrovials has been out of stock for ages, does anyone know a non-USAmerican alternative? We're down to our last vial.

We may also need a wheelchair soon which will set us about $1000 back, too...

Again, we're *not* dying, it's just gender affirming surgery. But we do appreciate any help.

I'm moving in October!

Hey everyone, I come to you now thankfully not in a state of emergency, but to still ask for some help!

TLDR; my current place is a bit too expensive, so my family and I are moving to a place we cheaper rent. Our lease is up in October of this year! Hiring a moving truck to get everything to the new place is a must due to my parents' age and my lack of ability (this will also save on gas money), and it'll be about 500 dollars.

If you have some cash to spare, I'd really appreciate some help in making this move go as smoothly as possible. Every dollar helps, and even if we don't make the goal you'll still have helped us with expenses!

Here's my Kofi with the goal:

Thank you in advance if you do choose to help! Reblogs also help a lot! 💙

Hello, I hope you are all having a great day! This message comes from a place of deep necessity, and I more than understand the inability to provide any type of help to my cause. I graduated from high school this past May, and I had the hopes of starting my pursuit of a bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in neuroscience while following a pre-medicine track at the University of North Georgia. However, I am an asylum seeker in the United States, and because of recent changes in the immigration procedures and qualifications for federal aid, I no longer qualify for any type of federal or state-level financial aid. This was not in my plans, and now I find myself in a terrible predicament. My school has offered me help, but even after that, I still have an outstanding balance of $12,940.68 that needs to be paid in order to start classes.

As of right now, my family is unable to further assist me because of unexpected medical expenses related to multiple surgeries my mom has undergone and is still in the process of undergoing.

Being able to grow as an individual is the main reason we as a family overcame an immense amount of challenges to be in this country, escaping oppression, threats, and fear for the hope of a better future. And this is being affected now. This message is with the intention of asking for any type of assistance that you might be able to offer in order to put me closer to achieving my dreams. Thank you so much for your time, and I'm truly grateful for your attention!

hi everyone. it's me, hi. things have been incredibly tough right now. i've had my period 4 times in 4 weeks, i'm finishing a med change, and we're really, really struggling. it's to the point that i don't know if i can afford the co-pay at the gynecologist on thursday, get us water, or afford our medications (essential, very needed medication) i'd be more than happy to make you headers, icons, gifsets, or other edits in return. otherwise if anyone can spare anything at all, my information is below. I'm so sorry to do this again. I feel lost. I have an upcoming job interview, so i could use extra prayers that it goes smoothly. Please reblog if possible, and my info is below: v*nmo: jennifer-moore-636

PLEASE dm me for any other information or to see if i have somewhere else you can send anything you're able to. (P*ypal or ca$hApp) I Love love love you.

All my love from all my heart jen Xo

How to Evaluate College Fit Beyond Rankings and Acceptance Rates

College rankings are built primarily around research output, faculty credentials, and selectivity. These metrics have very little relationship with whether a specific student will thrive at a specific school.

Academic Environment Fit

Does the school organize itself around large lectures or small seminars? Is undergraduate teaching a priority or an afterthought? The answers determine whether a student engages or disengages academically, which has a bigger effect on outcomes than a school ranking.

Social and Cultural Environment

Campus culture, community size, and location matter for wellbeing and performance. A student who thrives in small communities placed at a large state university with 50,000 students faces a structural mismatch that no curriculum can fix.

Career and Network Fit

For specific career paths, geographic network and alumni concentration matter more than overall prestige. A strong regional school with deep employer relationships in a specific industry can produce better career outcomes than a nationally prestigious school with weaker alumni presence.

Financial Fit

Net cost after aid is the most important financial metric. A school that costs $15,000 per year after merit aid often produces identical career outcomes to one that costs $60,000 per year. The debt difference follows a student for a decade.
