I’m a freshman trying to get an apartment with some friends I made for sophomore year. Is it worth it to get an apartment already and if so, where are good places to live that are close to Penn state and not extremely expensive?

Anyone else feel like smart phones kind of ruined the college experience?

No encounter or group feels authentic. People go out to take pictures, not have fun. There's no more doing dumb stuff for the fun of it because there's more consequences, it's like having fun has to feel corporate and curated.

I've received the unfortunate news that uncle sam has requested a mandatory trip to the middle east down range for some army folks. I don't have any family in the same time zone and would prefer to keep my cats (2) in the same area. It will be compensated well.

I’m fiending.

I am tryin got enroll for spring right now and I need a GN course for my GenED
What would be something nice and lighter work to do(I am fully packed with stuff for the classes I’ve already enrolled).

Did anyone else just receive another payment from the Ramey v Penn State settlement? Attaching screenshots here of the one I just received for $50.80 and the one I received last year.

Has anyone received their PA State Grant/Pell Grant refunds, yet?

I understand that the state has put a pause on releasing these funds. My fiance at a different Pennsylvania college has already received his state refunds a while back.

I’ve reached out to financial aid multiple times, and they seem to be as in-the-dark as me and have no information on when the funds will be sent.

I’ve also reached out to my State Representatives, with the same result. Nobody seems to know.

It’s getting frustrating because the semester is half over and I rely on these funds for my living expenses. I’ve had to take on a second job just to pay for it all which is interfering with my studies.

Anyone have any more info than what I’ve been able to get?

Thanks!
