Roommate issue?

I was thinking about potentially rushing a sorority or a pre-Health frat and I told my roommate about this because she is majoring and biology too so I was just giving her an idea and she started telling me like oh we’re not gonna be close anymore we’re not gonna be roommates we won’t be able to go to football games together. Basically we won’t be able to do anything together and then she finally texted me this “bc i’m not tryna not have a roommate like u can’t j do that shit 5 days before we move in w each other.” (Also I did kind of mention in the past of rushing but just that I was thinking of a sorority and I asked her if she was and she said no. I met her off of Insta and we met each other one time and we do seem to get along okay and I do understand her concern of not sending as much time with me as I would if I didn’t want to do a sorority however I was just thinking of rushing. I wasn’t sat on it and I don’t know enough about a sorority to know if you don’t have any free time with your roommates so I do understand if she’s scared of that but what are your thoughts?

Package Centers

Do package center employees get annoyed when you order multiple big items? I'm driving in from out of state and have had to ship multiple larger items, and I feel kinda bad...

Edit: Clarification the “large items” are a rug and a monitor, no furniture (i.e. futons, dressers, couches)

Scheduling classes

I looked at my schedule and I have 20 minutes to get from the chem building to psychology is that enough time? I looked it up on Google Maps and it says it’s a 12 minute walk but I’m not sure when it gets colder.

What's the late night food spots now?

I graduated a while ago. Some friends and I were talking about where we would eat after the bars closed down. We looked into in and it looks like nothing is open late anymore until you get to Rice Kitchen. Not even a taco bell in the area anymore.

Where do the kids go now since downtown looks dead post 2am?

What are room checks like at Hubbard?

Just wondering what the standard procedure is, how often and how invasive, I’ve heard from some people that they can be pretty over the top, wanted to see if you all agree.

Inviting all children who stutter to volunteer in a paid University of Michigan MRI Study!

The Speech Neurophysiology Lab at the University of Michigan is looking for children who stutter ages 9 to 12 to participate in an in-person, longitudinal MRI study! (HUM00196133)

Our research team has been examining brain development in young children to better understand the cause of stuttering for over 10 years. We continue to gain information that may eventually lead to improved diagnosis and treatment efforts for children who stutter. 

Participants will be invited to complete speech and language assessments and an MRI session at the University of Michigan. Families receive a free speech and language report and a picture of their brain!

These visits require in person participation. There is no option to participate virtually.

Please fill out this form if you are interested in participating or email us as the flyer attached. All participants are compensated and partial travel assistance is available. Please see our flyer attached for more details! 

We also offer other studies that are open to adults or do not involve MRI, in case you're unsure about eligibility. Feel free to email us or call if you have any questions!

Professor

I never thought to look up the professors of the classes I was taking on rate my professor until my friend told me that I was stupid for not doing it. Today I looked at them and saw my macroeconomics teacher had a 1.9( Antonio Madrid if anyone has any experience.) This class is my elective and I do not need to take it. Is having a professor rated this low going to make the class entirely miserable? Is it worth dropping?

How do I make friends at msu in the first week?

I'm a sophomore and last year I made like 1 friend and was just completely isolated from everyone else. My roomate was weird and I'd go home to see my boyfriend like every weekend because I didn't have anything to do at msu. I don't wanna be lonely again this year, can anyone give me advice?

Edit: I also forgot to mention I have crazy social anxiety so please be weary of that when giving any tips 😭 It's hard for me to "just talk to people"

Is this a good bag for college? I’m really intrigued due to the price and the look but I really have no clue if it’ll be practical and/or if the suitcase-zipper style is good or bad.

Question about math resources from a prospective student

hi everyone! im a rising senior and msu is my top choice rn. im planning on majoring in economics (ba) and im gonna have to take mth 132 for my major. I was wondering if i would be better off taking ap calc and hoping for a 4 on the exam or if i should just take it in college. im horrible at math and i took pre calc two years ago so i dont remember much. does msu have really good resources for someone whos always lost in math or should i just take it in high school. im pre law so i really cant afford to get a bad grade in the class so if the resources available arent the best then id rather do bad in high school and take it rn

Non-traditional student seeking advice.

I never had a chance typical for a college experience. After a year of community college, I stopped and then immediately joined the workforce out of financial need.

I was able to get some savings but hit a wage ceiling and decided to go back to community college last year.

Now, I'm transferring to state as a junior at 30.

I know plenty of people take non-traditional routes, so I'm just wondering if anyone's been in this situation and has advice?

I know I won't get the 'traditional college' experience, but I'd still like to make the most of it.

Student services parking lot

Hey there,

Coming up for Football Home opener in a few weeks. We have been tailgating in the Student Services lot between Student Services and Old Hort for years. I heard they had that lot pretty blocked off for construction earlier this summer. Anyone know if that's still the case?

Will I make more friends by keeping my dorm door open?

So I saw an instagram reel (I know, I know, it’s the best source of information ever) that said that having your dorm room open would be really friendly and opens up opportunities to talk to more people. So I was wondering if I check with my roommate and stuff for sure would it be a decent idea to keep my dorm room open?

Just got my move out fines charge from Hannah Lofts - What the fuck??

I just got this. This is incredibly insane because hannah lofts works on a seperate lease system and I had a shared room with another roomate and he has significantly less fines than me. Is there any way I can dispute this? Anyone else in a similar situaion?
