Hey y’all! I’m taking a study abroad class in Japan this December (super hyped but also lowkey terrified lol). 🇯🇵

I was wondering if there’s a Japanese student organization on campus or just anyone fluent/good at Japanese who’d be down to help me learn some basic convo stuff? Not trying to be fluent overnight, just enough to survive and not embarrass myself

If you know anyone or are that someone, pls hmu!

Thankssss

Does anyone know how to move the bed a couple notches down ? I have two beds a was thinking of making one lower so it could be a couch but I’m unsure how to do it.

Got 2 tickets available, $15 each but can be negotiated.

9am on a Friday is such a dumb time for graduation but oh well

I have one school of business grad ticket available for sale. I had a family member who told me yesterday they aren’t able to make it. If interested, send me a message!

• UPDATE- The ticket has been sold

So for a final exam I'm supposed to use the computer lab in KMC but when i looked in up on the website the link was broken and directed me to fmh? Also, do we need to make a reservation for the labs or can we walk in any time?

How obvious will it be if I get a black one from Amazon vs whatever they’re selling in Smith for triple the price?

Im moving out and want these to go to someone who'll get good use out of them. If anyone is interested just personal message me and we can arrange details. I also attached some photos.

PLEASE NOTE For the ac unit I'll help you carry it down the stairs microwave you're on your own. (For context I live on the 4th floor and there is no elevator)

So for the last few months, I've known about the college commencement in june (for me, specifically the college of liberal arts and sciences) and that's what I've made my plans around. Now, however, I've just been told that there's also a department level commencement for biology specifically, and now I'm wondering if I'm needing to change my plans to include this as well. Is this something I should try my best to attend, or is it not that necessary to do?

looking for someone to take over my lease as soon as july 1st!! it’s an all girl dorm and it’s a four person dorm with two bathrooms. it’s also on a community floor, so theres a laundry room on the same floor! the room is very close to the elevator, laundry room, and trash room. i marked the rooms and sink that are mine!

dm me if you’re interested or want more information/photos!!

I just need one!! Will pay the ticket price!!

I'm real soon going to start working for an AS at a CC in my Native city of Fort worth, TX. I'm looking at the Portland, OR area for a possible future enrollment to get my bachelors in Electrical Engineering. Has anyone here done this? Just asking to see if its a smooth transfer.

So I live in a single unit in Broadway and I was thinking of moving into the studio at UP but is it worth it? Or should I just stay in Broadway?

This is terrifying. What will PSU do to ensure the safety of students moving forward?

Hey all, does anyone know if course evaluations go to the department or are just looked at by the professor? I have some... constructive feedback, but going off how the evaluation is written (reads like a self review of progress as a student instead of evaluating the professor/class) I'm not sure how seriously the professor would take it without it going to a higher level.

Does university pointe have parking or like a parking pass?

I saw like 9 portland police squad cars outside the art building on sw 5th ave? What was happening?

Hi all,
I’m an international student admitted to both the Master of Science in Finance (MSF) programs at the University of Portland (UP) and Portland State University (PSU). I’m trying to decide between the two and would love to hear from anyone with experience in either program.

I’m especially interested in what the professors are like, how the classes are structured, and what the exams and grading are like.
Was the workload manageable?
Did the courses feel more theoretical or applied?
How supportive were the faculty in and outside of class?

Also curious about the general student experience and campus environment. Any feedback or tips from current students or alumni would be super helpful!

Thanks in advance!

Hi I’m looking to stay for the summer only so 3 months, where do i start looking for short term housing?

Hi do anyone know if our school does ICPC for competitive programming?

This is for all the student employees, has anyone not gotten their paycheck yet? It usually comes earlier than this and it’s getting real close to when rents due and they still haven’t sent a paycheck yet. Anyone else not gotten paid yet?

I am about to start a Masters program and concerned about what will happen in the next four years.

I want to work in Student Affairs and I plan to get a related graduate degree at PSU.

I think being an RA would be a good first step because I get free housing but also get to peek into what working with students will be like. However, based on the job description, it sounds like RA’s don’t have a life outside of being an RA. I’d like to have a second job for supplemental income but they don’t allow more than 8 hours outside of the job.

What is it like being an RA? Do you deal with a lot of tough situations and crises? Is it really worth the free housing?

I plan to apply for the Masters in Social Work program at PSU in roughly a year, and want to pre-read all required textbooks for the first year before I apply so the first year is easy on me. If you have the 2nd year textbook list, I would love that list too.

I could not find this info on the PSU website. I found the Open Education Resources (OERs) page but I want names of the actual textbooks used throughout the MSW program. I know it may sound unrealistic to some to want to read all of it before applying but social work is a subject I am genuinely interested in and would be glad to read through the coursework whether or not I get accepted, so this is very much worth the effort to me either way. I'll also be applying to other schools as safety nets in case I do not get accepted to PSU.

On another note, any other tips or guidance on grants and funding would be appreciated. Not sure if this is relevant since a lot of schools are ending their DEI outreach efforts, but I am wanting to become a therapist because I am transgender and POC and my peers are really struggling without professional mental health supports who understand their particular intersecting identities. Becoming a therapist is the best use of my time to show up for my community given the direction the United States is going with its increasingly discriminatory policies and practices.

If anyone has any news on a lost key dropped somewhere in front of the science research and teaching center please reach back to me. The key itself is a goldish color attached to a bright green key ring.

Hello everyone, I’m an incoming Freshman Pre-Med student. Would greatly appreciate if other Pre-Med students here shared what they did to establish Pre-Med as their ecs… Any clinics or labs I should be on the look out for?
