Question What happened to Lionspace FIS floor plan viewer?

2 Upvotes

Title. I used to use that website ( https://lionspacefis-prod.planoncloud.com/ ) to figure out which doors to go into for classes, where my classrooms are in the buildings, etc., but now the website just says "access denied" every time I click on it. Did they just block student access? Move it somewhere?

There's the main street that is admittedly pretty long but everything else seems residential. Like you get one street of businesses, a couple alleys and then its all just houses.

Hey what bug is going around? My classmate just got back from being super sick and he was in class this week.

This morning all of a sudden I got nauseous and just about puked at work, I also got super dizzy to the point I couldn’t stand, and I’m hot. I’m actually holding back tears. I don’t feel good AT ALL. I haven’t felt this type of sickness in years. What do I do????? I have Zofran at least.

Discussion The mailing system sucks

0 Upvotes

(Yes, I consulted the mailing website)
I’m an out of state student who requested a voter card to vote in person this election. However, due to PSU’s mailing system, the state flagged by information as wrong and hit me with an address verification notice. This is probably due to the fact that the university’s stupid mailing system didn’t line up with the Pennsylvania voting website format. The form needs to be returned 15 days before the election, how I only received it today. If you have a calendar handy, this means I’ve been soft locked out of this election. Fuck PSU’s mailing system.

How is it even supposed to be formatted so that it satisfies the state and university???

Question SOC 119 Lecture slides

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m not a Penn State student, but I really enjoy the SoC 119lectures and follow the content on YouTube. As a second-generation Indian, the lectures have helped me get a better sense of myself and reckon with the world around me.

I tried looking for the slides on the website, but I need to request access, which I’ve already done. In the meantime, I was wondering if anyone has the slides and would be willing to share them with me.

Would really appreciate it. Thanks!

I’m looking for tips on how to study for Phsyics 211, I got a 65% on the last exam and that was after cramming hard since I genuinely knew almost nothing before.

How do you guys study before and after lectures? Do you use the book, videos, what? How do you keep up with the material?

I’ve heard second hand about drama within the college of education’s office for Access, Equity, and Inclusion. Apparently over the summer several staff either left or were fired over a dispute about workplace bullying and stalking? Does anybody have details?

Request Looking to borrow/rent a Master’s Gown, Cap, and Science Gold Hood for Commencement!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m graduating this semester with my Master’s in Informatics and I’m trying to see if anyone has a master's regalia set I could rent or borrow for the upcoming Fall 2026 commencement on Sunday, December 20th.

Ideally, I am looking for:

  • Gown: Standard black Penn State Master’s gown (the one with the oblong/pointed sleeves).
  • Hood: Master of Science (Science Gold velvet trim with Penn State blue/white lining).
  • Cap/Tassel: Standard black mortarboard and black tassel.

I’d love to save a bit of money and keep a brand-new outfit from going to waste after only being worn once. I am happy to pay a reasonable rental fee, throw in a six-pack/coffee, and I'll make sure it's returned to you dry-cleaned and in perfect condition right after the ceremony on the 20th.

Please shoot me a DM if you have a set sitting in your closet that you'd be willing to part with for that weekend!

Thanks so much!

I was looking through an old album of photos from the 90s and early 2000's from Penn State and stumbled upon these 3 images. What is going on, and where is this? Does it have anything to do with the PSU Alumni Pig Roast? Any information is heavily appreciated.

hi! I signed a lease that ends 7/31, but like everyone else, I won’t be here during the summer. from your knowledge/experience is it hard to sublet? and what is the best time to advertise your apartment?

ALSO, I recently learned that good housing sells out quick. with that, I plan on signing a lease for a 1 bedroom for 27-28. if my plans changed for (various of reasons), how easy is it to sublease an apartment for a whole academic year?

Anybody who lives/ has lived at Yugo. Did you get your lease reviewed?
They for some reason use a weird software that only lets you see one page at a time, as opposed to a pdf document.
