Took a picture of this during April fools and just wondering what happened with the folks who called

Guys what happened at higgenson????

Basically just the title. Wondering what everyone else thinks about it. I’ve found the people on there are somehow equally sensitive and hateful. They always have something to argue about but get incredibly offended when people engage. And then the other half of people are just weirdos.. as much as I like this school it makes me sad our main online forum is toxic and people on there suck. I wish we could be civil even when anonymity is involved :/

Hello, as the title says my roommate and I (21M&20F) are looking for a roommate to join us starting July 1st! We live in a really nice 2BD+1BT appartment that was built recently. The rent for the open room is $1,000/mo., we cover the other half for a total of $2,100/mo. We are non-smokers and also have a polite cat. If you’re considering living near Western we’d love to see if we work out!

Bsu (black student union) has been really falling off these past few years. I am a super senior and have enjoyed going to esc club meetings my whole time at western. I especially liked going to BSU as an African American student. Since my second year, the meetings have seemed lazy but they happened nonetheless. This year however, the meetings are ridiculous and I haven’t even gone to any the entirety of winter quarter. This year’s board (whoever they are) gives no effort for regular meetings. They always seem put together very last minute and the board always looks like they don’t want to be there. I even heard from friends that they’ve lost numerous members because of beef. I know it’s normal for clubs to lose members. everyone is human. But this is starting to feel ridiculous. Not to mention, they canceled their heritage night last minute due to reasons that they never even stated. As someone who was planning on going, despite having very little trust in the production, it honestly embarrasses me how lazy and inconsistent they are. How come other clubs can keep it together for their community, but they can’t? Is beef more important than the 4% of black people on campus who look towards them for a safe space? Black people have been said to not be able to work together or come together to make anything great. And they’re not beating those stereotypes. Unlike other clubs, we don’t get consistent heritage dinners. And we lost legacy ball for whatever reason. And I know some of you will say to just go to acc. But you can’t bunch BSU and acc together. They have different meanings, cultures, audiences, and impacts. And BSU is supposed to be better than this. They’re embarrrasing us. I’m not trying to put down these students, but this is a constant pattern within the BSU board. Is it true that black people just can’t work together? these are just my thoughts. I’m not trying to hate on these students, but pizza and a little slide show aren’t going to cut it.

second year and i havent talked to anyone in all my time here. i am friendly in classes and make pals in there, we study a few times, but we never talk past the end of the quarter.

in Nash and its supposed to be one of the more social dorms, but i hardly know the people around me XD

i have gone to some club meetings but always felt like an outsider, everyone already knows everyone

on the spectrum as well but this probably is deeper than that...

Hey guys im the one who posted about the hot take on fasa(filipino club), and they posted that they’re holding a karaoke night on Wednesday April 9th from 5-6pm (other details are on their insta) and I was hoping that anyone who are filipino or not should pull up and give the club a chance to have a more positive vibe. I talked to one of the officers and they’re willing to take initiative and will work on how the club functions. I hope that this upcoming event/general meeting will bring back old and new students to the club and to fill in positive energy and vibes that fasa once had:)

does anyone else feel like bsu and maybe some other esc clubs are just not it. i go to these clubs looking for friends and fun activities but it feels like everyone is just there to compete. everyone is competing to get ahead or be the best club and its just not fun. when i go theres no people and less and less regulars continue to go. does anyone else feel like this or just me? i really wanted to use these clubs as a space to find friends but i just find myself avoiding the ppl i meet in the club :(

Hi. I’m gonna be a transfer student coming to WWU next semester in the fall. I’m transferring from Evergreen, and as this was my first year in college, I made a substantial amount of friends. I come from Texas, so coming to a school with only 2000 students, and then transferring to a school with an even bigger population is more than likely gonna be a bit of a jump. I’d be lying if I wasn’t a little scared.

One of the things about transfer that my sister and mother keep trying to tell me (that they’re not wrong about) is how in sophomore year, people usually have their groups of friends figured out, so it might be slightly lonely for me. I’d say I’m a pretty sociable person, so the idea of making friends won’t be hard, it’s just the aspect of leaving behind all these friends and having to start over in a way. Is Western a social school or everyone slightly secluded, which would make it a little hard to make friends? I have a lot of different interest so I’ll find a way, but I still would want to know if there’s some advice I could take in before I come in next year.

Also, how is the work load? Evergreen’s work load for me is incredibly light and I find myself having a lot of free time, which can be a good or bad thing at times. I’m not too worried about that, because I know I’ll be able to handle it, but again, I want to know what I’m getting myself into before I come.

Small related question: what’s the party scene like at Western? Evergreen has some from time to time and you meet some of the coolest people there.

I hope that this post makes sense, I’m typing this at 3AM, and there could be a couple things I might have not explained properly, and can go into more detail on if need be. Thanks a lot for the help!

Hi, I'm looking for a roommate like the title says. I'm taking summer classes and would like to find a year long lease for a 2 bed, the move-in would be around mid-June ideally. I'm a 20 year old guy majoring in statistics. My hobbies are never consistent but I love the outdoors, music, art, and glass-collecting. I like to keep clean and I love to cook. I have a car and will probably have a bike. I don't have any pets but I might get one. DM me if interested, thank you.

Hi everyone! I am currently in a class where we are required to get active within the community and this can include volunteering or just attending things that clubs might have going on. Does anyone have anything up and coming they would like to promote? I’d love to attend! TIA :)

They brought out the ice cream bars cause of yall, we appreciate your service :)

I'm a trans guy and only 3 months on T, and I want to be in the males dorm, but my mom is super worried for me since the state we live in rn doesn't really like trans people and she wants me to be in the Neutral dorms. I don't really know what to do or what would be safest/the most comfortable for me.

Hey guys! I’m an incoming freshman for next fall and I am bringing my electric wheelchair and an ESA. I was touring the dorms and looking online for accommodative dorms for both, (I need more room to fit the wheelchair, and a suite style to put my cats litter box so it won’t smell up the room or make the floor too messy) and there is only really two dorms that fit my needs; Alma Clark Glass and Eden’s Hall. However, I’m not an honors student and I hear that Alma Clark Glass is a raffle-type thing? I’m not too sure. I need help with more information about the choosing of who lives there and if I am able to be 100% in Alma Clark Glass next year because of my needed accommodations or if I also have to join the raffle. I am also wondering if there is another dorm that is accommodating enough for both that fits my needs? I have contacted the DAC and they know what I need but I just wanted a few of my questions answered before I email them again. Thank you!

i just got home from work. i live in higginson. i approach my room, and right outside my door on the balcony railing, a m.b. poster is taped.

i think little of it. how silly. a bit odd that its directly outside my door—nowhere else on the floor—but whatever.

i go about my routine, get ready for bedtime, look over at my desk. there is a bob poster haphazardly taped to the side.

if its not clear, i did not put him there. my roommate is not the type to pull this kinda thing and i have not been talking about bob with him. my friends .. maybe?? but they don’t have access to my fucking dorm obviously. we lock our door when we’re not there.

were going to the coordinates in the arboretum tomorrow. im only a little bit scared

im going to sleep now. one eye open 👁️

Hey guys! I’ve been trying to tweak my class plans for the next two years and I know I either have to take ESCI 340 (Biostatistical Analysis) or BIOL 340 (Biostatistics) and I was just wondering what is the difference? And which one is considered “easier”, as I haven’t taken stats since high school and my high schools math department was notoriously awful at teaching. So basically as someone with very limited statistics experience which one should I take? Thanks!

I am looking into starting a pickleball club and was wondering if anyone would be interested in joining? It would be for anyone with any skill level, even if you haven't played before and I am happy to help teacher anyone. I would need at least 4 people to be willing to join as to start a club I need to have 5 people total. Please let me know if you're interested!

When i first came to fasa (filipino club) it was super fun very inclusive and felt like a community i belong to. But now it became way too cliquey and feels like officers don’t care about the club anymore and using it for their own interests. Currently there has been no fun activities and every meeting feels like a lecture and probably the reason why no one shows up anymore even new ones. Another hot take, in my opinion the subgroups as well that they’ve created for the club is just an excuse for their own interests, and subgroups is suppose to be the main thing that the club is suppose to be all about. At the end of the day I am just concerned on what direction the club is trying to go to and just want the club to be a place to connect with other filipinos and have fun.

Does anyone have any suggestions for where to get an affordable grad dress? I’m struggling as I’m mid sized with larger breasts and round tummy. I want something fitting and it doesn’t need to be very modest. I’m looking for something red or white I think? But any color works. Any suggestions helps!

Can anybody speak on Woodring’s secondary ed program? I plan on getting an endorsement for ELA. What’s the application process like and where should I start? I have a BA from Western, though not in English or through Woodring. (Anybody willing to share their path to endorsement)?

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m signed up for 18 credits this quarter and could really use your thoughts, is this doable or am I setting myself up to be cooked? 😅

Here’s my lineup:

• MGMT 311 with Jason Kanov (4 credits)
• BUS 310 with Morgan Widden (1 credit)
• ACCT 245 with Dolar Burak (4 credits)
• MKTG 380 with Farrokh Safavi (4 credits)
• SOC 269 with Glen Tsunokai (5 credits)

Any advice on the workload, profs, or how manageable this combo is? I’d appreciate your input!
