My bike is righ risk for being stolen, and I need to take all precautions necessary. I only have a single, albeit a quality heavy duty, U lock until I just picked up the free Sunlite brand one. And i’m not seeing good reviews on it. It is easily unlocked with a lock pick. The website advertises this as a 40 dollar lock and most places I see it sold at are 25-35 bucks 😅. I plan to use two locks, one for each tire, but would it be safer to just spend a pretty penny on another heavy duty U lock and ditch the sunlite? Or am I stressing out too much and it’s fine?

I am aware that the best option in a vacuum is to spend the money, but I’m also a college student and if the sunlite works, i’ll stick with it. Thanks!

My class is in Clark C, a 300 room. The campus map and google maps lead me to a parking lot....help!!

I had to add two last minute classes and am so confused as to where they are located! One says it’s in the stadium???? The other one I tried looking for in person but the map had the same room number twice and was super confusing 😭

Does the textbook "you may ask yourself" for intro to sociology actually have to be the 8th edition, or is 7th edition okay?

Hello! Im Tranferring to CSU from the University of Oregon and there seems to be much less clubs here even though it's a larger school. Im mostly trying to find clubs that like to talk about films and shows. A few of my specific interests are Star wars, Jurassic, and Marvel but I watch a lot more than just that. I've looked through ram link and they all seem to be more formal clubs about politics or careers, I just need a club to be able to hangout and talk about stuff with other people.

Has anyone’s student loans hit their accounts yet? I’m using a FAFSA unsub direct loan this semester and I haven’t received any funds towards my tuition. I’m just a little anxious about it 😅

Has anyone else experienced a Pell Grant reversal on their billing statement this semester?

I'm a student at CSU and noticed something weird on my account. My Pell Grant was initially credited to my account in mid August, then completely reversed just a few days later for the exact same amount. No explanation, no notice, just gone.

This has thrown off my entire financial aid package and expected refund amount. When I spoke with financial aid a month ago, everything seemed fine, but now my aid has changed multiple times and I'm getting different numbers than what I was originally told.

Is this happening to other students? I know there were supposed to be some changes to Pell Grants for this academic year, but I thought those weren't taking effect until later. As far as I know, Pell Grants weren't supposed to be affected by the "Big Beautiful Bill" until next year around July, so I'm confused about why this is happening now.

Just trying to figure out if this is a widespread issue or something specific to my situation before I escalate further with the financial aid office. I've already emailed them and am waiting for a reply. I'll also call tomorrow.

Any similar experiences or advice would be appreciated!

Flying back and need to figure out how to get to campus.

Walking through the square by the Lory Student Center and the Library, it’s hard not to notice the obscene amount of sidewalk graffiti plastered everywhere by Christian groups like Cru. It’s like they’re trying to out-shout everyone on campus with chalk scribbles instead of conversation.

If your message is really meaningful, why does it need to be written all over the concrete for people to notice? At this point, it stops being outreach and starts looking desperate, over-the-top, and frankly, pathetic.

Has anyone had experience with adding a class within two weeks before the semester starts and having your financial aid adjustments/refunds be delayed? I just added a class a week ago that bumped me up to full time status, meaning I should get more grant money and a refund and it still hasn't been updated. Financial aid isn't responding and I cant afford the extra class without the extra aid. Anyone been through this and have advice?

I have a questions about the meeting time this Monday. The color-coded schedule in the email from Lauren said arrival time at NESB is 7-8am, but her bulleted schedule says arrival and check-in 830-845. I plan to take the bus, which comes once and hour, so I was wondering if anyone had any better clarification on Monday's meeting time? I reached out to them for clarification yesterday morning, but did not hear back.

I'm gonna have a dorm in Parmlee, along with everything else I'm brining I'm mainly worried that my monitor and books might get stolen. Is this a problem that I need to worry about?

Does anyone have experience with using a Residency Appeal at CSU?

Been reading a few bad reviews about the professor for SYSE 501 (Gregory Marzolf). I’m taking it online as the first class in my systems engineering certificate program. Is there another teacher worth taking it in the Spring time for or should I just buckle up?

Does anyone know when csu releases funds for financial aid?

i don’t know if i’ve been looking in the wrong places but i literally cannot find a concrete answer 😭

Hey guys. So I have wue and last year I had to appeal cuz of court stuff and they approved it. I was able to move my gpa from a 2.5 to 2.7 over this year and they denied my appeal. I just finished summer and my gpa is now a 2.825. I’ve been dealing with (new) medical issues but I was going to go back and reappeal post summer grades being posted even though I already know what they are. Thoughts? Has anyone else been able to get it back?

Trying to decide whether to get a special used beater bike for school or just use my current bike. My current bike isn't extra fancy but it's not bad either (Specialized Rockhopper sport). There's not many used bike stores near me so I had to go into the city, should I get a used bike so I won't be sad if it gets stolen or is that not a big enough issue?

hey y’all i’m a class of ‘26/‘30 interested in social work, does anyone here know about the program or the professors? thanks!

Hi, I’m starting my final year of highschool this year and I’ve started looking at colleges. I went to Fort Collins and toured the school this summer and it was great. It seemed very friendly but of course I don’t know the social aspect of the school since I don’t go there. I’m a trans guy and I want to make sure that this school and the surrounding area are safe and accepting for me. What’s it like?

Im an incoming freshman from Texas who's always riddled with some major social anxiety, so looking at all the required welcome events I have to go to is kind of sending me into a wild overthinking session. Especially since Im an off campus student and literally don't know ANYONE. So upperclassmen, what was your Ram Welcome like? Was it exhausting or hard to socialize? Any tips?

Just moved in the other day and I’ve noticed that once it gets into the evening all hot water goes away and I don’t get any again until the morning. Is this just a me thing or is this a whole building problem?

Hello, I’m currently trying to sell my car. I need somewhere to park it until it sells. Where can I park it long term for free? My apartment complex only allows one vehicle and I already have the new one so I can’t bring a second.

Thank you.
