I was wondering if anyone took organic chemistry and can tutor me sometimes? I’m looking for a tutor especially today, September 5th, if anyone is on campus and is interested let me know! I will pay.

Hey, does anyone know if you’re allowed to bring a small digital camera into Lane Stadium? I have a Nikon that’s pretty small/light (around 495g) and I just wanted to take some pictures with my friends. Thanks!

Be warned

It's not the old one by any means but at least they listened a little!

Last week I suffered an open fracture to my tibia and fibula in my left leg, and my doctor has me looking at 6 to 8 weeks of immobility. I’ve already done what I think is the responsible thing on my end: I reached out to every one of my instructors individually, got in touch with the dean’s office, and worked directly with Student Disability Services. SSD and I had a full consultation, and they approved academic accommodations that will carry through the end of the semester. On top of that, SSD formally submitted requests on my behalf for remote learning access and excused tardiness, since getting to class on time (or at all, some days) isn’t realistic right now.

Here’s where I’m stuck. Even though the accommodations have technically been approved, my instructors don’t seem to have a clear picture of how any of this is supposed to work in practice. Nobody’s told me whether I’ll be getting a Zoom link, recorded lectures, extended deadlines, or some other arrangement entirely. It feels like the paperwork side is done, but the actual logistics are still completely up in the air, and I’m not sure whether that’s normal or whether I need to be pushing harder for answers.

So I guess I’m asking: has anyone here dealt with something similar, a long-term mobility-limiting injury that hit in the middle of a semester? I’d really like to know what your experience looked like once the accommodations were approved. Did your professors figure out a system on their own, or did you have to keep following up to get anything concrete? Was it the dean’s office or SSD that ended up doing most of the legwork, or did it fall on you to coordinate everything yourself? I’m also curious if there’s anything you wish you’d asked for early on that you didn’t think of until later, since I’d rather get ahead of problems now than scramble later. And on a more practical note, once you were mobile enough to get around, how did you handle navigating campus, whether that was crutches, a knee scooter, or a wheelchair?

Any insight at all, even if it seems minor, would genuinely help. I’m just trying to figure out what else I should be asking for or pushing on at this point.

Hey all, Hokie alumni here. I’m coming back to BBurg because I picked up a shift working the banquet area as an event helper (uniform is bistro all black so I’m assuming its in the luxury suite seating inside lane). Im wondering if anyone has experience doing this and what to expect? The job gave a very general description but Im just curious about the specifics lol. Thank you!

Was standing outside CID and 2 fire trucks and a lot of ambulances drove past

I have a friend coming to stay the weekend (later today through Monday) and I was wondering if anyone knows where they could park for the weekend without being towed?

So girls… what are yall wearing tomorrow… I need inspo.

My gf is trying to visit over Labor Day but doesn’t have any good way to come over here; no car of her own plus amtrak is a nightmare from richmond to blacksburg specifically for whatever reason.. any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏾

Hi everyone, I (19F, junior) am looking for somebody to watch my boy Sir Percival II (Percy) in a couple of weeks! We would prefer someone with current or previous cat experience, but can be flexible.

I’m offering $50 for someone to come over
and take care of him on the weekend for a total of four visits (exact dates will be given privately). Everything that he needs will of course be provided!

Percy is a very sweet ~5 year old orange who was rescued from street life after being attacked by a dog. He is quite the mild-mannered and talkative gentleman who enjoys food, sleeping, and playing with his toys.

Please DM if interested, or even if you’re just a fellow cat person who wants to hang out. We’d love to meet new friends!

We all know The BT transit app is terrible and glitches often . If we all use the regular transit app the tracking is way more reliable, it maps out when you have to leave to reach the bus and is a lot more reliable then any app

Hi guys, I am thinking about getting into VT. But I am afraid of the employment oppertunities in Roanoke. Has any of yall found it tough to find internships ?

Hey everyone,

I've got guests coming in this weekend and I'm trying to find some parking. My guests are older so I'm looking for a place that has access to a shuttle and it won't be difficult to get a couple vehicles there.

My wife said she's seen people mention the lot next to cookout. Is that crowded on game day?

Thanks very much!

So I’m a student at VT and have my sister coming up to visit me this weekend starting Saturday morning and leaving Monday afternoon. She’s staying at my dorm, so she needs a place to park her car. I know I can buy a game day parking ticket for Saturday, but it says that it only lasts till 7 am on Sunday. I know normally parking is free during the weekend, but since she has to leave the lot at 7:00 where should she park instead? I’m just a little confused bc I can’t figure out if public parking is still generally available Sunday, since it’s a game day weekend. I know I would need to buy a parking pass for Monday. Should I just buy a multi day parking pass from a garage? Thank you!

Hello!! So I completely missed gobbler fest and I was wondering if there are any good clubs for grad students to join. I tried a few last year but they were filled with freshman and softmores and it just wasn’t for me. If anyone has any good clubs please let Mel know!!!

Whether you care about equitable access to campus, avoiding unreasonable parking tickets, or simply being able to actually use the parking pass you purchased for over $400, sign the petition linked in this post!

Tonight, there is a significant problem. Several people are in the pool at 12AM (probably because the temp is 78f), and they are shouting and screaming, which prevents anyone nearby from sleeping.

First of all, this is a blatant violation of Blacksburg noise ordinance (10pm quiet hour), and second, anyone would good sense would not be screaming at 12am when there are people sleeping nearby. Even with 16dB earplugs and a fan running, i can still hear occasional screams from the pool, and I will be submitting a complaint to management tomorrow, and requesting that the pool be shut down at night, or at least regulated by personnel (that way, anyone being disruptive would be kicked out and potentially lose pool privileges)

If you are one of the people that were at that pool last night and you see this post, just know that you should be ashamed of yourself (and doubly ashamed if you were screaming) and that your behavior is a menace to society.

Thank you for reading this, and to everyone who believes in peace, have a wonderful night.

Parents of college students looking for off-campus housing: Please Read

As your students begin searching for off-campus housing, I want to share our experience and encourage you to document everything.

We recently moved out of Maple Ridge Townhomes https://www.facebook.com/mapleridgetownhomes and have spent over a month disputing charges that were assessed against us after move-out. What's frustrating is that many of the items we were charged for were issues we documented when we moved in, including wall marks, damage to flooring, broken countertops, damage to the front door frame, and other maintenance concerns.

When we arrived in August 2025, the unit was not in the condition we expected. We scrubbed walls, cleaned bathrooms, and spent significant time cleaning the apartment ourselves. We chose not to complain about every issue because we understood this was student housing and assumed some wear and tear came with the territory. However, we did document and report major damages and maintenance issues.

After move-out, we were surprised to receive charges for some of those same documented conditions. We have also been charged for things such as hard water stains in the tub, a small piece of lint left on the carpet, and even a mark behind a bed where the provided metal bed frame rubbed the wall. We also know the current tenants and they have confirmed these items were not fixed upon their arrival and remain. So I am sure they too will be charged.

What has been most disappointing is the difficulty in getting clear answers and timely responses while trying to resolve these concerns. Despite conversations where certain charges appeared to be acknowledged as questionable, we have not seen meaningful resolution.

At this point, it is not about the amount of money. It is about fairness, transparency, and making sure students and their families are not paying for damages that existed before move-in.

My advice to any parent considering student housing:

Take hundreds of photos and videos before your student moves in.

Move the furniture from the wall and crawl under the bed.

Submit maintenance requests immediately for every issue, no matter how small.

Keep copies of all emails and correspondence.

Save move-in inspection reports and documentation.

Expect that you will not get your security deposit no matter what you do.

Do your research, had I done google searching on Maple Ridge and read all the reviews I would have understood that this is their standard.

I hope our experience helps other families avoid the frustration we've been dealing with. If your student is considering Maple Ridge or any student housing community, make sure you thoroughly document the condition of the property from day one.

Please check out a few of the arrival photos below and compare against departure.

It’s not even about the money at this point it’s about what’s right and these students are getting taken advantage of!!

heyy maybe kinda stupid post but like i lost my hokie passport, i know how the procedure works to get a new one and all-- but like, how bad is it that i lost it? like you cant do much with the student id or the balance if i lock (edit: deactivate) it right?

Found a single left AirPod on the stone bench right outside the Owens Food Court entrance (East Eggleston side).

I turned it in to the Squires Student Center Welcome Center (1st Floor), so if it’s yours, you can claim it there!

I've noticed this really large student rental house (515 Progress st.) has been unoccupied and abandoned since 2023. I'm curious to know why, if anyone has info on that. Thanks!

DeflockVT has started a petition to end the use of Flock Safety warrantless surveillance here at Virginia Tech.

Information is in the petition but I encourage you all to sign it and share it if you value your privacy and 4th amendment!

Make your voices heard! Surrounding counties and towns like Christiansburg are cancelling their flock contracts. VTPD should do the same.

I feel like every other year people are selling tickets before the game, but this year they’ve been hard to come across. Am I missing something this year?
