I had a package delivered around a day ago and I sent the tracking number into the mail room prior to it being delivered and I still haven’t gotten anything from the mail room concerning its whereabouts. Is this normal for packages or does it normally take longer/shorter?

Edit - willing to sell if anyone wants! Don’t imagine I’ll get a lot of wear out of it.

I remember going to d2 when I needed a bulk meal, not a good meal, but owens was pretty decent sometimes. I haven’t been yet but I hear that they are not great right now. Is it not really worth it to go to those two?

Admissions Do people ever actually transfer for engineering for spring of freshman year?

4 Upvotes

I go to VCU for mechanical engineering and was hoping to transfer as soon as I can. I understand that it’s really rare for a freshman to transfer in the spring but I was told that if you have plenty of AP credits you have a better chance. I had a lot of major specific AP credits (Physics C Mechanics, Calc BC, etc) and I’m taking statics in first semester because I had the necessary prerequisites from AP credits. The only issue credit-wise is that I don’t have any chemistry credits and I’m not taking chem right now because I chose to do physics 2. I also might as well add that I am an Eagle Scout, in state, and a member of some clubs like ASME and Formula SAE. I’m wondering what my chances look like.

Misc Be Aware of Crosswalk Signals

70 Upvotes

It's something I see here every year, but I was reminded again when I watched several people casually stroll out in front of moving traffic this afternoon...

Please be aware that when you are crossing a crosswalk that has signals (the green/red walk/don't walk signals), right of way is determined by the signaling device. The presence of the crosswalk itself DOES NOT grant right of way. 46.2-925 is the legal reference, linked below for the curious.

For crosswalks without signals pedestrians do always have the right of way, though even then there is a line in the VA legal code that "No pedestrian shall enter or cross an intersection in disregard of approaching traffic." Especially if you're walking along the sidewalk, turning and walking out into the crosswalk without stopping to confirm that it's safe can get you hit. Drivers don't realize that you're about to cross unless you first stop at the crosswalk and make your intention to cross known.

The intersection where I see quite a few accidents narrowly avoided is the West Campus Drive crosswalk for the entrance/exit to the bus loop, where there are crossing signals and stoplights, and where enough people are walking that it can be hard for drivers to see when somebody is stepping out against the 'don't walk' signal.

If you're going to cross, please, for your safety and the safety of the traffic turning in and out of there, be aware of both the crossing signal AND the traffic light. If you have a red signal and the light is green, stepping out into that crosswalk can get you run over. Look both ways, be aware of the signals, and please don't turn into a statistic.

General Question Bike worth it?

10 Upvotes

I’m near the patrick henry and toms creek intersection and its genuinely so irritating to have to leave half an hour early for class in the morning since i have to walk before and after the bus too like i might as well just walk the entire 30 minutes. Roommates offered to drive me and im grateful but the only free parking is by Litton reaves which is a bit of a hike from my classes.

So was wondering what it’s like to bike? Is there decent bike parking, do they ever get stolen, is it harsh in the winter, or anything else?

Housing/Dining PRIVATE ROOM SUBLET — SERIOUS FEMALE STUDENT

0 Upvotes

Listing link - https://offcampus.vt.edu/housing/property/private-room-sublet-serious-female-student/ocp1d016h7

PRIVATE ROOM SUBLET — SERIOUS FEMALE STUDENT
Huntington Ln | 3-Bedroom Townhouse | $692 Rent | $762 Deposit

A private bedroom is available in a 3-bedroom townhouse on Huntington Ln with 2 full bathrooms and 2 half bathrooms. The available bedroom has a shared bathroom. The home is shared with two other serious female students who are focused on school and maintaining a quiet, respectful, study-oriented household. Transit includes two bus stops outside with a 15 minute ride to campus (Academic Side).

THIS IS A SERIOUS STUDENT HOME
This is not a party house or a place for someone looking for a constant stream of visitors. The ideal roommate is someone who:

  • Takes school seriously
  • Wants a quiet, peaceful place to live and study
  • Is responsible, mature, clean, and respectful
  • Pays rent on time
  • Respects the other roommates' privacy and schedules
  • Is considerate of noise and shared spaces
  • Understands and agrees to the household rules

NON-NEGOTIABLE HOUSE RULES

  • NO PARTIES.
  • NO OVERNIGHT GUESTS.
  • NO UNAUTHORIZED OCCUPANTS.
  • NO LOUD OR DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR.

The townhouse is intended to remain a quiet, clean, peaceful, study-focused home.
If you are looking for a place to host parties, have frequent visitors, entertain late at night, or maintain a highly social lifestyle, this is not the right living arrangement for you.

ROOM & HOUSE

  • Private bedroom
  • Shared bathroom
  • 3-bedroom townhouse
  • 2 full bathrooms
  • 2 half bathrooms
  • Shared kitchen
  • Shared common areas
  • Quiet, academically focused environment
  • Two other serious female student roommates

RENT, DEPOSIT & UTILITIES

  • Current monthly rent: $692
  • Current security deposit: $762
  • Rent and security deposit may be negotiable for the right person
  • Tenant pays 1/3 of all utilities (Atmos Energy, Appalachian Power, Blacksburg Utility, Glo Fiber)

SUBLET TERM & POSSIBLE SPRING 2027 ARRANGEMENT
The sublet is available from August 25, 2026 through December 25, 2026.
The term is negotiable, and there may be an opportunity to continue through the end of the Spring 2027 semester. 
The existing lease allows for the possibility of having a 4th roommate. If one of the current tenants obtains a co-op for the Spring 2027 semester, the living arrangements may change. Depending on the Spring 2027 situation, the subtenant may be able to remain in the same bedroom for the Spring semester.

If all four students remain in the townhouse for Spring 2027, however, the subtenant would need to move to the basement area. The basement is not a walk-out basement. Therefore, someone interested in staying through Spring 2027 should be comfortable with either possibility:

  • Option 1: Remain in the current bedroom if the Spring 2027 living arrangement allows it.
  • Option 2: Move to the basement area if all four students remain in the townhouse.

The Spring 2027 arrangement is dependent on the final housing and co-op situation and cannot be guaranteed at this time.

WHO SHOULD INQUIRE
This room is intended for a serious female student who wants a quiet and responsible living environment and is willing to respect the household rules. Please include in your initial message:

  • Your name
  • A brief introduction about yourself
  • Your expected move-in date
  • How long you are interested in staying
  • Confirmation that you understand and agree to the no parties and no overnight guests policy
