<p>i got suspended for the spring semester- what should i do</p>

2

<p>if u don’t mind sharing, how did u get suspended?</p>

3

<p>Yeah, academic versus anything else is going to be really different.</p>

4

<p>backpack europe</p>

5

<p>Eh, a little more specific?</p>

6

<p>Why?</p>

<p>(10)</p>

7

<p>get a job</p>

8

<p>… if you have the money you should totally backpack europe</p>

<p>otherwise you should probably get a job.</p>

9

<p>it’s irrelevant why he got suspended. the question is what should he do with his time off next semester.</p>

<p>you should get a job. your parents most likely won’t want you just sitting around home for the spring and summer without doing anything productive.</p>

10

<p>It’s not irrelevant; some types of suspensions can be appealed with a high success rate.</p>

11

<p>you’re assuming the OP hasn’t already tried to appeal. if the OP really wanted to know how to appeal the suspension, the OP would have most likely asked that, but that wasn’t the case.</p>

12

<p>Very true, BP.</p>

<p>In saying that, if u don’t mind sharing, how did u get suspended?</p>

13

<p>get the books for the classes you were going to take in the spring semester, study the material yourself, then come back and have a ridiculously easy term</p>

<p>variant: get books for the reputedly “hard” classes you’re required to take for your major and study for those</p>

<p>i’m on a year off from college right now and that is exactly what i’m doing</p>

14

<p>get in good physical shape. Don’t hang out with losers getting high.</p>

15

<p>Work out, get a job, maybe take CC courses?</p>

16

<p>take Count college courses that you know will transfer to your school/major save money on your education and you dont fall behind with your credits</p>

17

<p>i am not allowed to take classes else where</p>

<p>the appeal process is usually more severe </p>

<p>it was for weed/alcohol</p>

18

<p>Are you automatically readmitted next fall (Fall 2009)?</p>

19

<p>I’ve always considered NYU to be very lenient in terms of weed/alcohol. Were you caught more than once?</p>

20

<p>Ha, although my friend wasn’t in college he was suspended for like 5 weeks for a couple weed related offences last year (he was a senior and 18). I’m NOT recommending you do this by the way, but I will tell you what he did anyways. He used money that he obtained through <em>cough</em> questionable measures and purchased a trip to Amsterdam and a few other places in Europe. He had fun doing that lol, but you should probably study or something</p>
