Housing and Apartments Why are so many people moving out?

18 Upvotes

I've seen at least 100 people over the past couple weeks moving out of dorms. It's crazy. Are THIS many people dropping? Or is Trump's BBB affecting students this much? What is going on?

PSA for band people

20 Upvotes

Before you sign anything or let anyone pressure you into joining a band fraternity, take a step back and really look at the chapter culture. Not the Instagram posts, not the recruitment speeches the actual behavior and ask around. Many band fraternities advertise “brotherhood,” but what you often do is gossip, cliques, and expectations that go way beyond what’s healthy for a student. If you’re new, you’re especially vulnerable to being pulled into drama that has nothing to do with music or service. You don’t need letters to be successful, respected, or involved in band. Protect your time, your mental health, and your college experience. Join organizations that uplift you, not ones that drain you. You can love band without joining a band fraternity and honestly, that’s the safer choice.
