So the College Program Threads are excessively long and I saw people at the beginning from '09 talking and I am lazy and don't feel like reading through hundreds of pages to find answers to some questions. So here are a few I have.
1. I am QSFB, roughly what will my paychecks look like, after taking out rent (I want to live in a Chatham 4 bedroom.)
2. What is Chatham like? I've heard mixed reviews
3. What is the best place to work for QSFB, what's the worst?
4. Other then a coffee pot, toaster, tv, linens and business attire what are some things I should take down? Or you wish you had taken down (For past or current CPs)
5. I am taking my car, however I want to use the buses as much as possible, except for shopping trips, little trips out of Disney on my days off and if I work really late or really early, is it ok to use the buses? Or would you suggest I use my car all of the time?
6. What is the swimming pool at Chatham like? Is it nice? I love lounging around in the pool.
7. Do you actually get to tell them how many roomies you want and where you want to live?
8. What is January weather like? People say it's cold...I'm from Ohio and it's cold here, a lot of Ohioans travel to Florida for the winter, so it can't be that bad....can it???
9. What did you do when you got homesick? What helped you overcome your homesickness?
10. If you find a roomie you want to live with what do you have to do?
11. They say check-in is at 9am, I watched a youtube video and it had people in line at 6am! If you don't want to wait forever when is the best time to get there?
12. If you are stuck in the back of the line, how long do you wait?
13. For traditions it says Business attire, and yes I am fully aware of what that means, however what kind of shoe would you recommend? I heard you go into one of the parks, so heels is a bad choice, is a Flatt ok?
14. On your second day it says you have off, is this true? Also my parents will be there to help me with the apartment, is this bad? I see it this way, I have 8 months to get to know my roomies and 8 months where I am going to be miles away from home, I think it is ok to visit with them the second day I'm there, especially since I will be still getting settled and my mom is good at helping...And yes I will be 22 at the start of the program and I am capable of doing things myself, but it's nice to have family around when you're moving in somewhere (I also feel as if older adults know more of what you need then we do...)
15. I heard there is a wal-mart nearby, is there a Target?
16. Are we allowed to hang our own curtains up using a tension rod? Since it's not drilling anything in the wall, this should be ok right?
17. How is it living with 7 other people? I've only ever lived with 2 others (minus at home there were 5 others, 6 including myself)
18. I have family coming down for a vacation the 2nd week of June, when I have access to the HUB (I think thats what it is called) am I allowed to request off for 4 days to spend time with them?
19. Since they are coming down and want to book ahead of time and I want to use my discount for them, how does that work? Do I book it for them? What is the discount? I understand the pass system, I'm more concerned about the hotel issue... Thanks!
20. When we are off, do we still need to go by the Disney look? Or am I allowed to wear what I want? I'm not a tasteless person, I also don't / will not dress "slutty" i'm just curious...
I know that is a lot of questions, I'm just really curious. Thank-you for the help!!!
