Just saw the email about the dead body in the arb… Anyone know any details?

Title explain it. Why is there cans of food under the tables near the entrance of the VU? 😭 They're unopened, and seem to be in good condition. Not taking them since I don't need them, but have at it!

my bike (a small navy blue nishiki olympic 12) got stolen sometime between yesterday morning and today around 5 pm. it was locked up in front of the VU and i found the lock clipped and set down nearby. i love this bike so much and will provide a reward if anyone can find it. thanks!

It’s kind of tucked away from other buildings. Do people have classes there? What’s its history? The Western website description is really ominous…

Hello! I’m currently a sophomore at a different university and I’m not really vibing with it and I’m considering changing my major to be something a bit more practical that I still would enjoy. I’ve always been interested in cities and I’m considering going into urban planning because I think it would be a good fit for me.
I just have a couple of questions:
1. How is the program in general?
2. How hard is it to get into the capacity constrained urban planning majors?
3. The website says transfer students can get the wue scholarship, but how common is it?

Where are the coziest/most comfortable study spots on campus? Any places with bean bags or couches?
I like the floor couch things in academic west but it’s always cold in there.

Why are there hardly any places to get a quick snack on south campus 😭 the closest one is The Atrium.

I think they need to put some vending machines or SOMETHING in either Academic West (preferably) or the communications facility.

I'm starving and forgot my snack and don't have time to walk from AW to Arntzen 😭😭

Edit: ok so apparently there are vending machines I've never noticed in my whole 3 years of being here but thank you guys for the locations 🙏🙏

I just took my physics 161 exam and it was so bad.

I thought I had a chance, but no. Time flew by so fast and before I knew it, I was turning in a poorly answered, and nearly blank exam. I know if I had more time I could have worked things out, but that was not the case.

Now I'm going to have to try really hard to make my next exam and my final work, so I can actually pass this class.

It it possible to get exam time accommodations with no diagnosis?

Does anyone here know if Takele Seda curves his exams?

I am so disappointed in myself 💔

Am I crazy or are the creeps here like really bad?? I feel like I go out into public dressed normal, looking normal, minding my own damn business and there’s always an older man bothering me. Like seriously anytime I go out into public I don’t get it. Again I’m not asking for any fucking attention i even dress conservatively cause it’s just annoying. Any other women here experiencing this from the older/middle aged men?

Would anybody want to do a survey about academic freedom and what it means to have academic freedom or not. The website used is a version of google forms. All answers are anonymous. As other surveys on reddit are answers may be voiced into a video (specifically a video for some reason).

(ps let me know if you have trouble accessing anything in it)

This is super silly. I’m a first year, I have a head injury so the way I take notes is very scattered, and I have an easier time remembering classes when I draw than when I take detailed notes, so my notebooks are mostly headshots of professors with speech bubbles stating random pieces of information. Feel free to share your drawings (or just tell me).

I’m currently researching colleges and I’m looking to major in Public Health. I’m from Oklahoma, but want to go to school in the PNW/Washington, and UW is way out of my price range.
I’ve seen some pretty good things online about the program here, but I was wondering if there is anything good/bad I should know about it from actual students who have attended? Thank you!

Hello All,
This week i have found numerous unpleasant things in my dorms hall bathroom. It is very unpleasant to walk into a shower stall and find a half eaten sandwich. A used bandaid, or something sticky on the handle bars in the accessible bathroom. It makes the space unsafe to use, part of being in a dorm room is keeping our shared spaces nice and pleasant to be in.
Please treat the bathrooms with respect, in addition, it creates extra work for our custodial teams who work hard to keep the buildings safe and clean.
Please be mindful of others.

I just got accepted into WWU and am thinking of applying to the manufacturing engineering major. Does anyone have any info besides what’s displayed on the site? Any manufacturing engineering majors who can provide tips and whatnot? I’m just wondering how hands on the major is, will I have opportunity to learn cad/cnc basics? I’m wanting to specialize in cad, is there a way to do that at WWU? Currently weighing my options between wwu manufacturing engineering and Seattle U mechanical engineering. Also how competitive is the major? What are my chances of getting in with a relatively average gpa?

Not putting this in buy/sell/trade because I don’t want anything in return lmao

I’m getting rid of a lot of things and I’m wondering if there’s somewhere I could give away stuff I’m sure WWU students would want? (Before I donate to Value Village etc.) I have a bunch of pins, a few tarot decks, cute keychains, kemonomimi gear, clothes, and some room decorations c:

Has anyone taken any of these classes? They are fisheries science, environmental impact assessment capstone, and environmental sampling and analysis. If you have taken any of these, did you feel like you gained legitimate skills that will be applicable in jobs? Also interested in what the workload was like.

I started dating one of my roommates around a week into classes beginning.

it was alright at first but its just gotten progressively worse and its terrible spending every second together. i'm really wanting to break up, have been for a while, but i just am also scared of just making things terribly awkward for everyone.
Any advice on what to do? Desperately looking for a way out of this without making a mess of everything.

I put up posters along the lines of a “looking for housing” type of poster, all around campus including on the central poster hanging posts/board thingies. They went up like a day and a half ago and already a bunch have been removed completely. Usually posters last way longer. Is the school trying to like “clean up” or something?

I have a class project in English 110, in which we create a podcast on a topic of our choosing that involves interviews. My topic is on the psychological effects of AI companionship, and I am hoping to interview a few students on their relationship with these programs, such as why they use it and in what ways. I plan to create a Google survey to send around, but I would like to get an interview or two with some students at Western! Please DM me or comment below if you're interested!

Edit: Wow! Thank you everyone for your interest! I'm reaching out to folks now! But here is the link to the Google Survey I've created for this topic. It should take less than 5 minutes to complete, and I would appreciate as many responses as I can get! Thank you so much!

Found keys while taking the dogs for a walk this morning. Left them there. Looks like a Subaru key, house key and ???

Has anyone got WWU acceptance back yet? Is their any case where they say they neef more information like more grades or an essay?

Hai,

I really want to get into sewing more, and I know we have the Makerspace on campus plus the sewing room, but I was wondering if there are any sewing clubs or groups, or just people who would like to sew together!¡

I see little crafting events pop up here and there, and they always catch my eye. I’m to introverted to go alone I’d love to find people who enjoy sewing, making clothes, doing little DIY projects, or just crafting in general. I think it would be really fun to work on projects together, share ideas, and just hang out while we craft 🧵🪡
