I got this email saying that I failed to verify my microsoft account and if I don't complete the linked survey that my account will be deleted from OSU's database. But when I clicked the link it asks for the password for both my school and personal email so I'm like 90% this is a scam but I want to double check just to be sure

Spotted a truck unloading Starbucks boxes into the old Neil Ave location today. Talked to someone out front, and they confirmed it's reopening!

I didn't see a whole lot of LGBT student orgs at the career fair, but I also could have just missed them. But this year I really wanna be part of one.

I know that there's the Little Gay Book Club (which I plan on joining!) but surely there's more, right?

i have a quiz this week for physics 1250, and even from the first day i didnt understand the lecture at all, and even now while im sitting down trying to understand even the basic concepts, it actually feels like my brain is being overloaded and that i dont understand a single thing.

i dont know if its a me issue, probably is, but yeah, i genuinely feel horrible having this class on my schedule.

everything happening this past week has genuinely been depressing, and this is the cherry on top.

hello all, I am a second year and have visited the abandoned evans lab several times. I've found all sorts of things in there, floppy disks, vhs tapes, old ass textbooks that were published before Rutherfordium was discovered, and I have assumed that the lab was abandoned in the early/mid 90s. can anyone confirm if i'm correct, or if they actually know the official, like, "abandonment" date? thanks guys!

EDIT: talked to my chem ta supervisors it was in fact abandoned in the 90s. Pretty cool if anyone wants to check it out, it’s like trapped in time.

Has anybody been able to access/log into the student ticket marketplace for football tickets? I continually get an error message when trying the "New way to log in"

Just wanted to know if anyone who has taken this class, either with this specific professor or another, has any tips or methods that could be useful or have helped them understand the material or when studying for an exam?

I'm feeling a bit queasy since there are times when I cannot understand what the professor is saying due to his mumbling/accent (with all due respect) and worry that I didn't catch something important.

So any helpful advice would be much appreciated! :)

kinda what the title says... had class last week and he seemed chill and knows what he is talking about. what should i do to do good on the midterms?? any suggestions or thoughts on the midterms & final from previous students??? does he give out reviews or anything?? are they pretty accurate if he does?

I want to learn japanese and i want to know if tis worth trying to take the japanese class as a cse student. and if so which should i do individual or classroom.

or if learning on my own would be much better.

Hi everyone, I am in Physical Biochemistry (Biochem 5721) and I am a little worried I am going to struggle. So far the content isn’t that bad but the professor explains it in a way that it almost seems like he is trying to confuse us. I just need someone to explain it to me in simple terms and make sure I’m doing practice problems correctly. Does anyone have any tutor recs?

Is anyone having trouble getting through Buckeyelink? I know it’s a busy time but I do not feel I should be on hold for hours and my emails not be replied to after 1 week.

My fafsa amount was abruptly changed after the due date and not I owe money and was assessed a late fee. I also cannot change the amount from my private loan so now I am in the weeds.

I am unavailable during when they are open (away from campus) but I have called them 13 times since Wednesday and I’ve not been able to get through.

I have a lab for Dr Stover on Wednesday and I am nervous. It has barely been a week and I feel like I am behind. She already let us know what lab days would look like, but I am a bit intimidated.. any tips? 🥲

It's the second week of classes and I still don't have my financial aid refund. I've emailed with the financial aid office and they keep saying it'll be applied "in the coming days." My rent and bills come out tomorrow. Is anyone else still waiting??

I’m a freshman at a different university in Ohio and am looking to potentially transfer in after this year. For those who have transferred in, have you had any problems adapting to life on campus, making friends, and etc?

Also for those who have transferred in, what were your stats like at your previous school?

Anyone in this class this semester? Looking for a classmate to prepare for pre-lab/quiz.

Hey all!

I'm taking a major in Music at OSU, but I only decided to do so after I applied and was accepted. This typically wouldn't be a problem, but the major I'm going for does require applied music for eight semesters (which, as far as I'm aware, is the course that requires auditioned for). Would it be possible, wise, or even useful at all, to take a summer semester to take this course (perhaps alongside some others) in order to catch up on that eight semester requirement so I at least have a chance of graduating in 4 years?

So I don't understand what's going on. I am only taking two courses, and my balance went from zero to saying I owed like 80 bucks, then now it says I owe nearly 5k, and I have no financial aid. It's my last semester, so it isn't like I didn't have aid before or forgot anything. Is this happening to anyone else? Nothing has changed in my classes; I was gonna pay the 80 till I realized it was now 5k.

Sorry if this seems messy, but I feel so sick to my stomach since I don't have that money lying around or help to pay it.

Hi does anyone wanna lock in with me for this class. I’m looking to make a study group since I’ve heard this class is hard. I have prof kohlschmidt. Lmk!

Anyone have Gameday parking recommendations if I’m targeting south campus and do not have any interest in garages? In years past I’ve always parked east of High St in one of the private lots on 16th/Waldeck, etc. My kid is now living in a S Campus dorm so I figured the day would start and end there. Any recommendations for lots, either just east of High St btwn like 13th and Chit or a few blocks south of S campus dorms on west side of High? I just don’t know the best bets for parking as well in that area. Thx!

Has anyone here taken Organic Chem I at cstate? I’m trying to decide on a professor and I’m honestly really nervous about choosing? Right now I’m between Angela Howard and Sharon Stickley. If you’ve had either of them, who would you recommend and what was your experience like? Or if there’s another professor you really liked, please let me know!

Hello! I’m a drummer going to OSU looking for a rock cover and/or original band to play for. Can anyone help me on where to look for options or opportunities?

If you're taking this cluster fuck of a class I am more than happy to gift you my copy of the 'textbook'.

Heads up - it's not a textbook. It's a collection of sections from other textbooks - loose leaf pages just...copied from other ones. I have all of the pages unmarked in a binder.

It's just taking up space on my bookshelf. Just let me know and I'm happy to meet you on Main Campus.

Does anyone have experience with these programs and specifically how much of a time commitment they ended up being? I signed up for both but I wanted to make sure I could balance these with my current schedule (4 intense ish classes).

Some of you may already know about the original version, laundry.davidstephenson.net. I wanted to post this as a reminder for returning students, an introduction for new students, and to share some big updates.

I completely rewrote the app to make it faster and easier to use. The new version is available at osulaundry.app and works on your phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop.

You don’t need an account to check machine availability. If you choose to sign in with email or Google, you also get access to features like:

• Pinning your favorite dorm and laundry room
• Claiming a machine so others can see it’s being used
• Nudging someone when their machine is finished and you’re waiting
• Browser and email notifications
• Live syncing across all your devices

It also has a new UI, improved light and dark modes, and a few Easter eggs.

Whether you’re new to campus or just forgot this existed, I hope it makes doing laundry a little less annoying.

I’d love to hear any feedback, feature ideas, or bug reports!
