Hey, YOU❗

My name is Stephen and I'm proudly representing an organization called Men 4 Choice. I'm a recently-graduated student from UIC hoping to connect with likeminded folks at universities in the Chicago area who may be interested in becoming better activists, adding something to their resume, or simply being a better ally! If you believe bodily autonomy is not just a women's issue and that men need to **SPEAK UP** or are curious to learn more about how to, read on!

The opportunity --

Show up for around an hour or so for one of three virtual chats in which you'll learn how to better connect and converse with men in the fight for reproductive justice. Don't worry, the ask isn't for much of your time AND its free! 😎

Who you are --

Ideally a college-aged man with ties to Chicagoland or the greater Midwest who talks like a swing-state voter. We're looking specifically to mobilize people who can counteract the prevalence of toxic masculinity from the right, so unfortunately this opportunity does require being male-identifying. Besides that, **if you're not an exact fit for age and/or location, that's ok**! Likewise, your politics need not be anything specific other than supporting the right to choose. It's fine going into this not even having given much thought to being pro choice!

If you're interested --

Please reach out and send me a message! Exact dates and times for the presentations are yet to be determined, so your availability will help determine. These are planned to occur on both weekends and weekdays, afternoons and evenings, so don't hesitate! Likewise, **please share around to those who may be interested**.

Thanks for the read,

Stephen

I'm gonna be an incoming freshman this upcoming fall quarter, and I'm a littleeee worried about making friends since I'm quite shy and a little awkward. I'm not gonna know anybody here since none of my friends from my hometown are coming with. I'm taking the explore chicago class (specifically the one about murals) and im hoping to hear that its a good way to meet people.

Hey everyone, I work part time at a friend’s ecommerce and media company here in Chicago and we’re looking to bring on a few more DePaul students.

Streamer (up to $30/hr): hosting live selling streams on camera. If you’re outgoing, funny, or have any streaming, TikTok, or public speaking experience this is easy money. They’ll train you on everything else.

Stream support ($18-$20/hr): helping run the streams behind the scenes, pulling items, managing the chat and orders.

Warehouse side ($17-$18/hr): order pulling, packing, shipping, and inventory. Chill environment, music on, straightforward work on the northwest side.

If you’re interested drop a comment or DM me and I’ll send details. Happy to answer questions about what a typical shift looks like too.

Has anyone ever done an administrative/academic withdrawal for one class? If so did you owe financial aid back.

This Is not a regular withdrawal, you usually get it if you have a disability or certain circumstances.

Hello,

I am looking to apply to DePaul for what would be my first year in College, possibly Sports Business or Performing Arts Management next year.

A few questions impede my mind.

I personally smoke a decent bit; mainly marijuana. How tolerable is it to smoke?

I don’t think I would really be smoking straight bud in my dorm. Other forms, less smelly. I am also not a dick, so I will ask my dorm-mate/get a solo. Will the school come down on me hard?

I am also very interested in the local alternative music scene, and am very into things like Hardcore, emo, experimental, and especially jam bands.

I am interested in starting a band
(in the vain of Animal Collective, Phish, The Grateful Dead, Jawbreaker, Pixies, Twenty One Pilots!!)
and also just overall going to shows, getting to learn the local scene, meet friends and have a good time when i’m not loading my cranium with busy work.

Just looking on where to start for the music scene/local shows, and a bit of stoner help, among also just needing a little guide as someone who knows a little, not a lot.

I can get to where I’m going when I figure it out. Somebody said something about DePaul radio? That interests me extremely.

Would it be smart to get a fake ID? I am heavily considering it already considering how much I personally enjoy drinking and knowing how much use I would need/get from it until I am 21. I am happy to edit this part out if not allowed

Anyways, questions and advice is appreciated. I apologize for my formatting. I wrote this on my phone. Thanks folks.

Hi! My friend and I are in a band called McVey 9, and we are from Baltimore. We are both incoming freshmen at DePaul next year, and I plan to continue our band once we arrive. Does anyone have any advice for getting booked in Chicago? We don't really have any connections over there and are looking for some help.

I’m an incoming freshman at DePaul. Does anybody have advice on getting a job on campus/places off campus that have flexible hours for a student?

Does anyone know when they’re releasing information on the financial aid for 2026-2027?

Anyone else sick of showing up to a coffee shop to study and finding zero outlets or wifi that keeps dropping? Made WindyDesk to solve this, rates Chicago cafes on outlets, wifi, noise, seating, and food, specifically for people trying to actually get work done (studying, group projects, whatever).

Free to browse, no account needed. Figured this sub might have some go-to spots near Lincoln Park/Loop campus that deserve to be on there — would love if you added them.

Hi! I’m transferring to DePaul this year as an accounting major, and one of my biggest hobbies is sewing my clothes. Is there any design building where a sewing machine is accessible to all students? (Assuming it would be in LP). For example, at UIUC the siebel center of design has sewing machines, fabric printing machines, etc. all accessible to current students. I wouldn’t be using it too often, don’t worry lol but just wanted to know if it was a thing!

I’m an incoming freshman and don’t have a fake, but since DePaul seems to be more centered around bars/clubs when it comes to partying, it seems like having one would be a big part of having a social life. I’m not against getting one but don’t know where to get one, and just want to know if its super important to have or super common for freshmen to have them.

So I am from the city, and naturally I’d heard of DePaul, but I just assumed it was located somewhere vaguely downtown.
Today I just happened to walk through Sheffield and realized your campus is here? And it’s actually really nice? I’m jealous.
Now I’m asking if someone here will be my IRL friend and show me around. I’m super fun, I promise.
For context, I am a girl who graduated from USC last year. I studied marketing, and my interests include music, food, fashion, and all types of art.
I’m mainly looking to meet another girl(?) which I realize is hard on reddit, but yeah.
But if we share similar interests, just dm me.

I am in the Economics program at DePaul and I’m hoping I can get a temporary job (for about two years) this summer related to research in economics in Illinois.
I have some options already in Chicago from a single institution which has multiple options, but I would like to apply to other institutions/companies/organizations as well.
Is anyone familiar with institutions or organizations in Illinois that have applications open for research in economics to start this summer?

For people who have been to other college team games, would you consider DePaul games to have a lot of fans or no? And if you say no which is the probably answer, be honest because there’s still probably like a couple hundred students who go anyway yk. From an upcoming freshman

i just got assigned to corcoran hall! how cooked am i? :(

im also doing random roommate for the love of the game lol

im only concerned about the cleanliness of the bathrooms tbh

anyway let me know if i made a huge mistake :D

hii!! im starting class during the fall semester and i want to know how is campus life, clubs, and just general vibe for queer students at depaul. im a trans girl who isnt out yet at all so im still classified as a dude in their database or whatever. if anyone has info please let me know!!! thanks :)

I just did my room assignment and chose Munore hall because all the other options were not on my top 3. Can anyone tell me what to expect for being in Munore?? the pros the cons?? are they strict etc.
