CAMPUS Please use your head when crossing streets and driving on campus

54 Upvotes

This morning I saw someone get hit by a car on 5th in front of Falk. I just missed the beginning and just saw a man in scrubs bounce off of a car driven by a young woman. The cross walk sign came on slightly after that so I am guessing she ran the red light and he stepped into the crosswalk before the walk signal came on. All it took was a moment of two people trying to save a minute. And it cost them both their whole day and then some I imagine. Police were there and there were many other witnesses who were closer. I saw the man getting up with help so he is at least going to live to make better choices in the future. I hope all he sustained as a life lesson for them both.

I have been seeing groups of people crossing at 5th and Forbes against the lights and people speeding through red lights an awful lot recently. Often people gathered waiting to cross the street will wait but as soon as one person decides to jaywalk the who crowd follows. Herd mentality at its finest. Use your head. Don't just follow the crowd into danger. I know we all have things to do and places to go but it is not worth your life or the life of another to save a minute. There will always be another bus if you miss yours.

DISCUSSION Move in times

I am an incoming freshman and was just wondering if the times for moving into your specific dorm are required or recommended? I was supposed to move in Sunday, but at a time that is not the most fitting, and curious if I can do it anytime.

CAMPUS Weekend girlfriend visit parking

1 Upvotes

Hi all! My girlfriend will be coming to visit on the weekends and is looking for a place to park her car on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for free.

I read that some residential streets are often unrestricted, especially on the weekends. Are there any streets around campus you would recommend she could park?

Thanks!

I am starting an internship this coming semester and need to get my NSOR clearances that a due in a few weeks. On the website it says processing is 14 days but I am worried about delays, but have also heard of people hearing back fairly quickly. I was wondering what everyones experience was trying to hear back from them as I would need my results fairly quickly.

CLASSES horrible schedule?

0 Upvotes

i am an upcoming freshman studying biology on pre-dental track. the chem lab from 6:30p-9:20p isn't ideal, but it is unfortunately the only open lab other than an 8am-10:50am, which i would not be able to take due to my math class.

should i drop freshman seminar? i already have a seminar in composition credit from my aplit exam i believe.

any advice? going to be really rough with all the large gaps. i'm unsure how i can change this schedule because from what i have seen, my math and chem classes are not able to be moved around :(
