I was just curious to hear from anyone who's gone to the planetarium on campus. Is it any good? I've never been to one, and I don't wanna go if it's kinda lame. I'm a huge space nerd, so I don't want my first experience to one to end up being a disappointment. What do you all think of it?
Hi!
Would anyone be interested in starting (or signing) a petition to either lower the cost of the first generation graduation stole (which is currently $40, $10 more than the generic western appreciation one) or to abolish the cost completely? I feel it’s unfair to charge so much for a stole celebrating first generation student success, especially when first generation students disproportionately come from low-income families. This “little” cost is just another financial hurdle for students to break systemic barriers. If anyone’s interested lmk!
UPDATE!!
Here’s the link to the petition if you would like to sign it https://c.org/2PJgDFcxCH
Hello everyone, I'm a Whatcom county local and I'm transferring to WWU. I found out that I might not be able to get a parking permit since those are extremely competitive. I live up by Blaine so I'm a bit worried about commuting as the bus can take 1 hour and 40 minutes compared to a 38 minute commute by car. Does anyone in a similar circumstance have any smart solutions to their long commutes?
Has anyone had a great experience with a professor helping you land a job or internship? I am reporting for The Front and I need people to interview about this.
Hello! do any students live in Bham over the summer? Id love to interview people about their experience over the summer.
This class should be online asynchronous. Also, I don't think this class is helpful at all.
There's 1 month left of school, I have literally no friends, and I need shit to do to get that off my mind. What are some fun things I can do alone here?
Hii I'm a science heavy student with lots of labs each quarter and am trying to get my GURs out of the way. I need 3 social sciences, and am trying to take one this coming fall. preferably not too much work since I am also taking 2 lab sciences and a language.
We are hosting another Whistle Kit Making event. ICE is still active in Whatcom County and using whistles to warn people is still a thing.
We will be folding zines, adding know your rights cards and attaching whistles. The zines have whistle code instructions in multiple languages including ENG/Spanish and ENG/ Vietnamese.
Where: Karate Church. Corner of High Street and Maple in Bellingham, WA. PARKING is found in a lot one block away Jersey and Maple. Entrance to the parking is on Jersey.
If you aren't feeling social, you can pick up an Introvert Kit Making bag to make kits at home.
Supplies needed:
YARN/ STRING
SHIPPING TAPE
See you soon!

Sometimes I like to just go up to people sitting alone in the dining hall like “hey can I sit here?” and start a conversation with them. I have mostly found it to be an at least somewhat effective method of making friends/acquaintances, but every now and then I get pretty bad reactions from people. I sometimes feel like I’m just really annoying.
Is it okay that I do this, or should I just stop? I really don’t want to come across as invasive or annoying- I’m genuinely just trying to put myself out there and meet some new folks.
Hi all!! The Vintage Depot Flea Market season opener is happening NOW and my gf and I will be selling handmade pieces, y2k finds, shoes, keychains, bowl coozies and more!

(Look for our blue “upcycled” sign at our booth)
PRO FORCED BIRTHERS ON CAMPUS IN RED SQUARE!!! WE NEED THE FURRIES OF WESTERN TO SPREAD LOVE
Gang, can we PLEASE stop putting bags in the seat next to you during rush hour? Put it on your lap. Please I beg. And if your can of liquid is full enough to risk spilling on people, maybe take a second thought before taking it on the bus?
Y'all I'm just at my final straw here and needed to say something because omfg the bus is hard enough already we don't need it being worse 😭
I was a student in 2016, I am a female to male trans person, the doctor assigned to me was Thomas Schneider, he is now retired but continued to work there about ten years after this incident. I fell and my tailbone was hurting so I made an appointment, I was expecting a talking visit, Dr. Schneider manipulated me into letting him do a rectal exam, and the way he did the exam was not protocol whatsoever. He came up to me, used his own hands to expose my private parts and stared at my exposed genitals the entire exam. With this exam the patient is required to be given a gown or a sheet to cover themselves with, I was not offered this. He did not explain how a rectal exam even works, he just came up to me and started doing it, it was so unbelievably traumatic. He had made odd comments before like "I find the hormone process fascinating" I felt like I was a tour guide for him. It upsets me Western let him get away with this and keep working there, my dad said he obviously had a sick interest in me. This trauma is so difficult to deal with, and I feel it's so unfair this happened to me during school and I'm still dealing with it. I also read a review on google that the health center leaked another student's sexual assault file notes. I have described the exam to trauma therapists who then referred to it as sexual assault. Do not trust the health center, thank you for letting me vent.
I'm thinking of taking Tom Marley for Math 124 in the Fall and I want to get a read on what he is like as a teacher?
