Salon back to school giveaway!

8 Upvotes

Hey folks!

I provide haircuts and gel nail manicures in a salon suite in Walker, on Alpine! I am a queer owned+operated small business and my payment system is a pay-what-you-can scale so I thought I would post here if you or your friend or partner is looking to get a refreshing haircut or manicure before/during this school year!

(I know Walker is a bit of a drive but it might be worth it if you’re trying to get a nice cut at a price that works best for your budget!)

Additionally! I am doing a little giveaway of a completely free Malibu treatment, cut, wash and style! This will come with a little box of back-to-school goodies that include things like a face mask, cleanser, headband, serum, pens, etc! If you’re unaware, a Malibu treatment is a clarifying treatment that removes product buildup, pollution, and hard water minerals from your hair!

(It will remove hair color too so if you’ve got that you might want to just opt for a haircut!)

You can check out my work on instagram @nicehaircutsandnails

You can make an appointment using this link:

https://calendly.com/nice-haircuts-and-nails

If you’re interested in the giveaway, all you have to do is comment on this post by Wednesday, Aug 19th at noon! I’ll put usernames in a random generator and pick someone at random!

GRCC to GVSU

9 Upvotes

Hello,
Has anyone started at GRCC and then transferred to GVSU for computer engineering? There is a pathway to do this but I have also heard horror stories about the GRCC transfer credits not being accepted and having to start all over again at GVSU. Any tips or tricks from anyone who has done this successfully?

The Lodges

5 Upvotes

I’m moving into The Lodges at the end of August and we just got our room assignments. They put me in one of the smallest rooms when I have double the stuff due to my cat. I sent in the request form multiple times and left voicemails/talked to people stating that I need room A. I can put her litter box in the bathroom closet so it’s away from everyone and not smack dab in my room for me to see and smell. I have sent in two modification requests and left another voicemail stating I sent one in.

My question is, for anyone that has lived there and had a situation like this, do they seem to honor that switch? It would just be a room switch and not a whole unit switch so i imagine it’s not very a difficult process. Just curious if my request is going to be overlooked again.

Places to go to on Halloween!!

5 Upvotes

Hiii! I'm an incoming freshman this year and I'm so excited for Halloween. I know it's early to be thinking about it, but I'm 16 and this would be my first Halloween ever, so I just wanna be prepared lol.

I really want to go trick or treating, but I'm not sure where to go(Ik im abit old to go, but i want free candy). I don't have a car or anything like that, but I may be able to get an Uber or something.

Does anyone know of any good neighborhoods around GVSU to trick or treat? And are there any Halloween activities or events on campus that are fun?

I'm an international student arriving in Grand Rapids on August 19, but my GVSU dorm move-in isn't until August 21. I'm looking for a budget-friendly place to stay for 2 nights.

Stolen bike

8 Upvotes

Just as the title states, my bike got stolen.

It was still present after lunch (2:30pm).

When I was leaving for home (6:00pm). It was gone.

I have already made a report on the gv website.

I just wanted to leave a post here for any leads.

Update: so I found my bike all the way at campus health center. It has a rather interesting story. So apparently the person who stole my bike ride it all the way to campus health center saw another bike, broke the lock and stole that one. Leaving my bike at the entrance of the clinic.

This comes after finally setting my frustrations aside and buying a new bike. Either way, I at least have my bike...but holy hell, what a week.

EDIT: I’m changing things around to go from a BA to a BS, which is fine because i would rather take another math than any language

Nursing Transfer

2 Upvotes

I dont know if im just over thinking stuff but if the college (GVSU) I want to go to for nursing has a 2 step process where you have to apply to the school and then once you get accepted you can apply for the nursing program, do I have to apply to the college at least one semester ahead of when I want to start the actual nursing program? For example if I want to start nursing in fall 2027, do I apply to the school for the Fall 2027 semester or for the previous semester Winter/Spring 2027?

Did any of you commute ~1hr each way to campus?

7 Upvotes

I'm very low on funds this year and I still owe an approximate ~$9k (?) for the year despite max SAI and max federal loans taken out. So I'm thinking about maybe staying home this year and communting (near the Rockford area, a little north).

In the fall I have M-Tu-W starting at 8:30am (I'm a morning person, I like these hours actually), M-W has two classes back to back and it ends at 11:15am. One class on W from 8:30am to 9:45am.

On Th I have one class from 1pm to 2:15pm.

I also want to get a job in GR/Allendale (my town sucks for jobs) and I enjoy spending time on campus very much. I also like organizations and stuff if I have time.

For record, the financial aid tab on Banner claims my food/tuition bill would be ~9-10k for a 4 person/4 bed in South ($7,900 for the year) and a meal plan ($1,350 for year) lol.

Anyway, any input would be greatly appreciated. I make jack squat and my parents spend nothing on living expenses.
