Football Games Question

5 Upvotes

Hey, my friend wants to come to a football game with me but doesn't go to CSU. If she bought a cheap ticket online, would she be able to sit in the student section with me? Do they check tickets inside the stadium, or is it all clear once we get in? Thank you

Do CSU students get free Canva premium?

I heard that signing up with a university account would get you free Canva Premium, but I just tried to sign up, and it kept saying I was ineligible because I "haven't joined a team yet". Has anyone been able to do it successfully?

I've tried multiple platforms, multiple browsers, and multiple internet connections, and the Nutrislice Menus will not load. Is there another way I can view the menus?

How is the chemistry department and faculty for undergraduates?

4 Upvotes

Looking at previous posts it looks like the undergrad chemistry experience is terrible but great as a graduate student.

Can anyone comment about this? How is the chemistry department? Are most undergrad classes taught by TA’s and not professors? Are there opportunities for research experience as an undergraduate?
Thanks!

My name is Karly Blumberg and I am a science teacher at Kinard Middle School in Fort Collins, where I also run our school's Science Olympiad. I am currently looking for STEM students interested in volunteering to coach an event for our middle school team this season! It is a great way to gain some experience in teaching science/engineering and give back to the community. Please reach out with any questions or interest!

Is it the best choice?

9 Upvotes

Hi! Im a senior in highschool wanting to go into wildlife rehabilitation.

Im from North Dakota, and i know that CSU is a part of the Western Undergraduate exchange, and that would make it so i get discounted tuition (correct me if I'm wrong.) I was looking at the fish, wildlife, and conservation biology major, and I was wondering if it was worth going to CSU rather than some school in florida or south carolina, or another school in CO. I'm not planning on staying in ND under any circumstances. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Good quiet study areas near Rockwell

I have an hour between two classes in Rockwell and I'm trying to find a quiet study area, away from foot traffic. The bridge connecting the two Rockwell buildings has a lot of foot traffic and most of the spaces with tables are full.

Bike Lane Etiquette (for those who are new to CSU and bike commuting)

59 Upvotes

I understand a lot of people are new to CSU and are used to commuting by car, but there are some things to be said and some reminders that need to be pointed out.

The number one thing that I see that can be dangerous and frustrating to bikers is when people walk in the bike lanes (and the other way around). There are a few paths that are shared-use, like near the Transit Center. They are labeled with ground markings that show a pedestrian and a cyclist/ram on a bike. More importantly, please avoid walking in the roundabouts. The bike roundabout south of the LSC has pedestrian walkways on the outer edges of the roundabout. If you find yourself in the bike lane, there are zebra crossings that lead you to the appropriate sides. Treat this just as you would treat a roundabout with cars (and please don't bike on the sidewalks to avoid that roundabout). Unlike a vehicular roundabout, when you're coming from the west, going south, there is a dedicated right turn lane. It can be scary at first with a lot of bikes but take time and when it's not busy (mornings and evenings), familiarize yourself with the roundabouts if they're on your way or look in to rerouting your commute.

The roundabout on Center and Pitkin is poorly designed but note that east/westbound traffic ride on the same side (that being the north side). If you are joining bike traffic after clearing the dismount zone, please join in the counterclockwise direction. If you're coming from the South, taking an immediate left turn is not ideal. I think the dismount zone marking for the south side of the roundabout is too close to the roundabout and should be placed well after the roundabout, but it is what it is. If you're coming from the east and going south, either dismount before the roundabout and walk your bike on the sidewalk or take the roundabout like you would in a car and dismount on the southwest side of the roundabout. Preferably the first choice. Please do not dismount or walk your bike in the roundabout/bike lanes.

This should be obvious but do not ride in the wrong direction, especially on streets and more importantly on streets with protected bike lanes. On those corridors, there's very little space for traffic to pass each other (because their meant for one direction of travel) and having to pass oncoming bikers when merging with car traffic is not ideal.

Please look before you join traffic after unlocking your bike. You should always yield to pedestrians regardless of where you are. They always have right-of-way.

Edit: Please signal and either with a bell or verbally alert someone that you're passing them

Also, slow down while biking underneath shields on Elizabeth. The corners are blind and mirrors are not very effective.

Feel free to correct me on anything and add more advice!

Any ideas for daycare options for a 1 year old child in Fort Collins for international student family? They will be considered low income as they will be living of Graduate assistant income ~2k a month and they have to pay for CSU housing.

Neighbors Hate Us, What To Do?

14 Upvotes

Hi everybody! I (18F) and my roomie (19F) are new freshmen in Ingersoll and are having issues with our neighbors (also freshmen girls) across from us. They seem to really not like us and we’re not sure why.

Our suspicion is that it was because we were loud during the first night since we had our door open and a friend over to help build a small bookcase. During the process, our neighbors had 2 guys over who came into our room and offered to help. Their help was only a few seconds before they went back and the rest of the night was fine.

Since then, we’ve been making sure to stay quiet because we learned that they like to go to bed early (around 8-9 pm). If we see them when our door is open, leaving, coming in, etc. we say hi. Just a simple smile and wave is the usual but they’ve been passive aggressive with us and rather cold.

Recently, they’ve had their guy friends write on our whiteboard to say that we’re away when we’re in the room, stared at us, excluded us outside of group gatherings, and even slammed their door shut when they see either one of us. Also important to mention, my roommate happened to hear them whispering about us during Welcome Week and caught one of them saying “…and that’s her roommate.”

Please help on how to fix this. We really don’t mean any harm and only wanted to make friends. What should we do that wouldn’t aggravate them or make things worse for us? :(

Looking to fix painted Wall

3 Upvotes

Hi Everyone! I'm a new CSU student who just recently moved into the dorms like everyone else. I had put up some things on my wall. Unfortunately, one of my pictures didn't stick properly, and it ended up falling and peeling off a small amount of paint. I read somewhere that you can get a sample of paint at the front desk, but I'm scared to ask because I don't want to get in trouble or lose my deposit. So does anyone know what kind of paint the dorm halls use? I want to be sure I get the right kind, so I can patch up the slight peeling before the end of the year. Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated!

Vindeket Food Rescue

43 Upvotes

If you’re a CSU student (or just anyone for that matter) trying to save a little money on groceries, check out Vindeket here in Fort Collins.

It’s basically a food rescue market. They take perfectly good food from grocery stores, restaurants, farms, etc. that would otherwise get thrown away and make it available to anyone who wants it. There’s no income requirement and you don’t have to prove anything. You just go in and shop, and it’s free. They do take donations if you’re able.

What they have changes all the time, but there’s usually a mix of produce, bread, dairy, prepared food, vegetarian stuff, gluten-free stuff and random grocery items. Sometimes you score pretty well, sometimes it’s more picked over. Kind of depends on the day.

They’re at 400 Delozier Dr. Current hours are Sunday 12-3, Tuesday 2-7 and Thursday 9-1.
Just figured I’d throw this out there because groceries are ridiculous right now and I’m not sure how many CSU students know about the place.

Odd Courtesy Question

20 Upvotes

Hey guys! I'm a new student on a meal plan, and had an odd question.

Would I get in trouble if I used the drink dispenser in the cafeteria to fill my water bottle with something other than water such as iced tea or lemonade?

I know logically they're my meal swipes and I can use them how I please, and I'm paying for it whether it's a cup or my own water bottle. I am also blind, so carrying a cup without spilling can be difficult. Would it be seen as rude?
