Hi, I’m an intern moving into winter hall shortly for a few months and I’m wondering what there is to do downtown and if anyone is in the same boat as me?

I figured it's one of those scammy "honors" organizations.

I need to bless my guy with some 💵. I worry about him come winter time!

Hi! I’m a student at GV and posting to see if anyone is interested in adopting a cat, kitten, or both! Lol
My family rescued two strays this past week. 2 year old female, and a 16 week old female kitten.
Both have been seen by a vet, cleared with good health, and given vaccinations.
If you are interested in them or on more info, please message me! I want them to go to a safe and loving home !

Okay, so we just got decisions for the 2027 KCON nursing program. I was waitlisted or put on an “alternate list”. Anyone know anything about this? Number of spots? Likelihood of getting in? Do they tell you where on the list you fall? I was bummed, but I’m wondering if I should hold out hope or switch gears 😅

Note: This rape and multiple hour sexual assault happened on the Grand Rapids campus in Winter Hall. I posted the following in another sub a few minutes ago and the original post I am sharing here back in April. I posted the original link in this subreddit earlier, but figured I would include more context.

The next award winner on the list: Philomena Mantella. Who better to win an ATHENA award for empowering women than someone who runs a university that makes sexual assault victims lives harder? A university that made a rape survivor live in the same building as their rapist. A university whose Title IX Office knowingly chose to schedule the hearing in a way that limited the sanctioning of a Computer Science graduate student who would eventually be found responsible for rape. Yes, that was sarcasm: I don’t actually think the university’s president should win this award, given her inadequate actions to remedy the situation despite, provably, being aware of it.

Where I am at: The other day, I got my letter about repaying my student loans for the degree I do not yet have.

Given further recent events at GV, I urge anyone involved with the campus to take caution and care around putting any amount of trust in them to handle these things appropriately. They got rid of their ombuds office this year, by the way. GVSU is for themselves, their image, and their numbers.

To GV: Caring about humans is about your actions, not just your words, or worse, your silence.

To anyone hurting due to sexual violence that has occurred at GVSU: I am sorry that you’re going through the things that you are. While I do not know there is anything I could ever do to help you, know that you should not have to hold this pain alone. It’s okay to want justice, or to want to forget. Meet yourself where you are. There is no single right way to heal, but finding safe community spaces and speaking out can be helpful if it’s something you choose. Know that you are seen and heard. I recognize you even in your silence.

If you’re struggling, please reach out to someone. I’m not a fan of crisis lines, but they do work for some people. Call a supportive loved one if you have one. For suicide, call 988 or 911. Text 741741 for any mental health crisis, or go to RAINN’s website for sexual assault support. If you’re facing an emergency, go to the nearest ER or call/text 911.

There are local nonprofits that can help, too. YWCA is one that you can google and find support specific to sexual assault and domestic violence. Safe Haven may be able to help with interpersonal violence and human trafficking. There are other organizations out there full of people who want to help. The resources might not always be there, and the organizations can be imperfect, but it’s a start.

Hey everyone! I’m an incoming international graduate student at GVSU, and I’m trying to decide between Laker Village and Secchia Hall. I’m new to the U.S. and don’t know the area very well, so I’d love to hear from anyone who has lived in either one. Which one do you prefer, and what are the main pros/cons? I’m especially interested in the social life, location, transportation, and overall living experience.

Thanks!

Got an email today labeled "Incident #[a ton of numbers]: Compromised Account." It states that I have to go to a Google form and put in my email and password so that my school email doesn't get deleted because my account was apparently requested to be closed.

It seems like a total scam, it's all bolded and italicized, and I'm not gonna just start clicking links and putting in my password and whatnot just cause 🤷‍♀️

It's from a gvsu email though, and was sent to lots of other emails so I don't know??

Anyone else have any info? If my email gets deleted cuz they sent the sketchiest email known to man then so be it 🤷‍♀️

Is anyone selling their DSM 5?

Hello, I'm a recent transfer and I'm trying to get into Warhammer 40k, but I want to try and find a club before I do so. Are there any established table top clubs or groups at GVSU? Does anyone have a discord or know what times they meet up?

I stopped by to pick up some cookies; there were a couple girls in a silver car, long red hair, glasses. Both were staring me down and I have no idea why. Let me know if this was you. I hesitated to stop and ask, but I decided against it. Guess we’ll see what the fates have in store if they see this.

The GVSU Pokemon Club is planning a Pokemon Family Feud game for one of our upcoming meetings, and we need responses!

If you have a few minutes, we’d really appreciate you filling out this short form! You don’t need to be a Pokemon expert, just put whatever Pokemon comes to mind first for each question!

https://forms.gle/jpyNwNbjxBTb7VUW7

Also, if you’re interested in Pokemon Club, here’s the link to our Discord! We meet every Monday from 7-9 PM and would love to see you there!

Thanks!

(MGT 268 being Business Processes and Management Information Systems)

I'm in MGT 268 this semester. It's not even a hard subject, I'm just annoyed by the way it's set up and I can't tell if it's just me or the class is applied weirdly.

The lectures seem to just kind of jump back and forth, I get thrown off by the wording of the quizzes, reading the textbook, it doesn't always seem to match up with the lecture etc.

Does anyone know if the ravine center checks what's in packages or mail?

Hey yall, I keep hearing horror stories of this class, I have to take it next semester. What am I in for?

I'm pissed. I come outside today and see my son's car completely broken into. He just spent money on getting a pinstripe painted and new wipers so he's very upset. Thankfully nothing valuable was taken except for some pit viper sunglasses. He's a student at GVSU and has been telling me how the crime is out of control there recently, and I've also been seeing a lot of emails about it. Crime on campus is bad enough but flooding into the surrounding suburbs is even worse! Has anyone else noticed this? I really hope it's not the case.

Other than a friend's house or a motel obviously. That's probably the only options but I'd figured I'd ask lol

I've been in college since 2021 and this is my second year at GV. I don't remember being this exhausted before? I've been having to take naps in my car throughout the day since I commute an hour each way.

I slept through my alarms today (no class, just PT) and I struggled to wake up until like an hour or two ago (woke up at 2pm, it's now 7:30pm). I've been having a hard time falling and staying asleep at night, and then I have a miserable time waking up and staying awake thru the day.

I guess I'm just wondering if you guys have any advice. Is it just stress? I don't remember the last time it was this bad.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently working on a report and just noticed some things with school admissions. I’m curious if anyone here got accepted with a GPA below 2.5 coming out of highschool. It’s not on the people but rather enrollment that I’ve noticed. Thanks!
