CSU Welcome Week Party Scam

There's an Instagram account promoting tickets for a party on the website "bookr. events". I am 99% sure this is a scam. The website is very shoddily put together, and has tickets for sale for 25 different college parties. Not to mention, the domain is registered to an address in Iceland that is commonly used for scamming and fraud. Please don't buy tickets. This is a scam.

Living in the dorms as a Sophomore

Today was move in day and I moved into my sophomore year dorm. I have been feeling weird about living in a dorm as a sophomore. There is nothing wrong with that, sophomores move into dorms all throughout August. I know people who are living off campus and it makes me feel like I'm somehow idiquate as an older student.

Today was hard it really was, I had to pick up a mini fridge because my roommate didn't get one and that took up a lot of space in the car for moving. I'm going to be living in the same hall that I lived in my freshman year I'm just going to be on the other side of the building. I'm lucky that it's the second floor and not the third like last year.

I have also felt really overwhelmed today more than Freshman year and I don't really know how to deal with some of it.

Hardcore scene in FoCo

hello, I’m a rising senior and looking at CSU as a top option but I’m super into the shoegaze post hardcore screamo scene and have generally more of a grunge alt style. some other schools ive looked at don’t have the best and I want it to be semi decent so if anyone could give me any info on it that would be great tysm.

I regret one thing that I missed out on in college

I’ve never been to the old town bars.

Yes I drink, went to Denver bars and bars in the other cities I’ve lived in since graduating. I just went to a lot more concerts in college… My few friends in my grade didnt drink out at bars, senior year class/group project friends wouldn’t really go with me (I only asked one group and it never happened).

Now that I’m 2 years out, whenever I meet an alum and they say “ahh lucky joes” I just nod my head at them, then on the inside I crumble briefly as I’m reminded that I missed out on a big piece of FoCo.

Can’t imagine I’m alone on this here… but this has been bottled up with me for some time and I just had to post about it.

Student Loan Issues

Has anyone else had issues with their student loans this semester since the big bs bill? I had accepted mine and at first they showed up in my pending financial aid, then they weren't and now only my Pell went towards my tuition leaving a good chunk for what is owed with now because my student loans didn't go through. I also had to do ANOTHER MPN which I thought was supposed to be good for 10 years? Please tell me its not just me.

Climbing gym at csu?

I’ve been climbing at whetstone for about 10 months. I’m not looking to join the team or anything but I can project v7. I was wondering if anyone knew how good the climbing gym at csu was? Should I cancel my whetstone membership or is the csu gym not sufficient enough to train properly in?

Second thoughts about attending CSU

Hello, I am an upcoming freshman at CSU. I am from Colorado, and I am majoring in Journalism & Media Communications. I will be living in Newsom Hall, and scheduled to move in the 18th.

I have recently for the past month had mixed feelings about attending CSU primarily due to pricing (15,000 for the first semester alone). I've done all the stuff with financial aid and everything and still will be in a lot of debt.

I have done pretty much everything I need to (housing, schedule, roommate coordination, bought a lot of stuff for my dorm, etc).

I was wondering if I should quit before moving in or give it a try for the first little bit? Should I just do a semester? Would it be too late to quit now, and if not when will it be? I've talked to my family and they support me either way, but they've also advised me that it might be way to much money for us to put together, and maybe I should attend a community college and save up for a year. It's a hard decision.

I've already told all my friends, and family, and everyone that I'm going to CSU, and put it on a lot of my accounts and everything, and also don't want to look bad for other schools or anything for going anywhere else.

Any advise (personal experience, suggestions, alternatives, etc) would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Edit: What I'm hearing is that I should take CC classes first. But is it too late? There is only a week until move in, and I've paid for a bunch of the stuff already. I don't know if it's wise to back out now?

How much is to much for college???

I'm moving in as a freshman in a week and I'm finishing up my packing and I feel like I have so much but idk if I'm overpacking or just understanding what I need. I have 6 full ikea zip bags, plus a mattress topper, over fridge rack, and desk mirror. I also have 8 pairs of shoes and a full rack of clothes.

For anyone who is into clothing I have 6 skirts, 4 pants, 3 shorts, 5 pajamas, 4 sets of active wear, and 4 purses.

Is this to much stuff??? Most of the stuff in the bags is cleaning stuff, toiletries, bike stuff, personal items for decor, books, and art supplies.

Anyone tried the OSCR Field Club?

I’m looking for a place to hang out pregame, between the walk and kickoff. Has anyone done this? It sounds cool, but lots of things do. But a place to get out of the cold would be nice, as well as a place to comfortably be while waiting g for the Rams. Anyone have experience?
