1. Nursing and Personality

   honeyforasalteyfish replied to TuesdaysChild's topic in General Students

   I have never been able to pin mine down on those analytical exams. I either get INTP, or ENTP. So the ntp aspects probably apply, but I would guess I fall somewhere close to the middle on the introvert extrovert spectrum.

   I work with a few philipinos. I think they are great. My take is if you are an immigrant certain things are non-negotiable assimilation aspects of a country. One is the core values. In Americas case I would say. 1. Free speech. 2. Sepperation of chur...

    Wait so are you planning on dorm rooming then? Because if not I don't see what they could say it's not their property. If it is a dorm you would probably have to take that up with campus housing. I don't see why wanting a dog would affect your abilit...
