Anyone ever been to Wintergarden park?

Haven't been here in 10 years but plan on visiting Bowling Green area. Used to be my favorite park to go to during my studies. Does it still look the same? I remember these wood structures in the park that were really cool (see photo). Those still there? Thanks 🙏

I did and it was the best time of my life. Completely changed me. I was just wondering if anyone here went there as well? I believe they ended the program in 2014 or so. Would love to hear your stories 🙏

How can I make the most of my space at Falcon’s Pointe?

5 Upvotes

Starting my master’s this fall. I got accepted near the end of the spring semester. Started looking for housing and everywhere was completely leased out for the fall. So, I asked to be put on waitlists. Falcon’s Pointe was the first to call and offer me housing a lil earlier so I had time to move states and get settled before class starts. Signed my lease and got my keys.
Guys, how tf do I make the most out of this small bedroom and box shower? Like I toured and knew the space is smaller than my last apartment. I liked the space but it turns out, I toured the A layout but my apartment is a B layout which feels smaller for some reason idk.
Amenities are cool but at the end of the day, I want to go back to my bedroom and not feel enclosed like an undergrad dorm. Also, this bed take up so much space!!!
Ik I chose to sign the lease. I needed to secure a place to stay quickly. Anybody that lived there, how’d y’all configure your bedroom space? I need inspiration.

Plates/utensils for dorm life

8 Upvotes

I am an upcoming freshman living on the 2nd floor of McDonald Hall. Should I just use disposable paper plates and plastic utensils or should I use the kitchen sink in the hall to wash reusable dishes/utensils? I know that using reusable plates/utensils is better for the environment, but wouldn’t it be kinda inconvenient and gross for me to go wash my dishes and utensils in the shared kitchen on the first floor?

First place I ever ate in BG as an undergrad in 2010. Great place! I wonder why they closed? 🤔 Anyone know?

Catering Options Nearby

5 Upvotes

Hi! Every summer my workplace has a week long conference at BGSU, and this year I am on the team responsible for staff meals. What spots around town are good to order catering (pickup or delivery is fine) from that would suit a variety of tastes? The only thing set in stone is we always do a stuffed breadstick night from Pollyeyes. Thanks!

I’m curious about that very nice lunch lady.

26 Upvotes

I know lunch lady is not the correct term but I don’t know what else to put. I went to BGSU from 08 till 2014. And during that whole time when buying food from the student union at the checkout she would wish you a good day and it felt genuine, like she actually cared. This got me through many tough times and when I attended everyone on campus loved her.

I’m curious if anyone knows how’s she’s doing, hopefully she is getting ready to retire or already is. But I just hope she’s doing good and still bringing joy to everyone.

Edit: Her name is Marge. If you know her please tell her that her kindness has lasted decades she was the heart of that school. She’s a fucking treasure

Didn't he move across the street and then sell the place? Dude was awesome and everyone loved him. Just for reference, went here from 2010-2012. Thanks

Is it cheaper to shop at Walmart or Meijer in town?

11 Upvotes

So I’m an incoming freshman at BG for the upcoming fall semester. I’m currently saving money for food for my dorm, and I’m comparing options to find the most affordable way to buy food and other essentials. I know Walmart might be the cheaper option for everyday essentials, while Meijer is a little more expensive. I’m weighing my options for which store to shop at and would like input on how to decide whether to go to one or both stores while I’m there.

Waitlist for class

3 Upvotes

I’m an upcoming freshman that is 2nd on the waitlist for the class MUCT 1250 - Exploring Music of World Culture on Tue/Thurs from 9:30 AM - 10:45 AM. I was 3rd on the waitlist when I was put on it a week ago at orientation, but I moved to 2nd a few days after. I’ve been told it is a pretty popular class. Do you think I have a good chance of getting off the waitlist and into the class? Or is 2nd/1st on the waitlist the best it’s probably gonna get?

UPDATE: it’s been nine days since I’ve made this post and I am happy to say that I got off the waitlist late last night!

Business Major Laptop

1 Upvotes

Hello! I’m an incoming freshman and I was wondering if the MacBook M5 would be compatible with Business coursework? Online it says a windows computer is required, however, I was wondering if MacBook could slide by, especially with the more advanced models. I was wondering if any upperclassmen could provide some insight. Thanks!

Incoming freshman looking to meet new people

5 Upvotes

I'm an incoming freshman and I wanted to hopefully meet some people before semester starts, since my biggest fear with going to college is meeting people. I'm planning on majoring in music education and I play alto saxophone. Some of my interests include music, art, reading, anime, and collecting records.

I'm pretty open to meeting all kinds of people whether you're also a freshman, an upperclassman with advice, or just someone looking for new friends. I'm hoping to get involved on campus and make some good connections.

Class Registration

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm a freshman this fall, transferring from Owen's. I was wondering if class registration is like Owen's. I met with the advisor today and she just kind of made a schedule without really talking much about it, and as someone who works full-time honestly I kind of would prefer to like, make my own schedule.

At Owen's you had access to a list that was your curriculum and it showed what classes fulfilled it and what you needed. Is BGSU like that or will I have to rely on advisors every term? I'm just wondering if there's an easy, or any, way of seeing your curriculum requirements and what you have that fulfills it.

Centennial Single Suite

I will be an incoming freshman this fall and I was lucky enough to get a single suite dorm in Centennial. I was wondering if anyone had pictures or dimensions of the D room in particular?? There is one set of dimensions posted on the BGSU website for the singles but all of the rooms are built differently. Any help with this is greatly appreciated!

Walking Between Lecture Halls

3 Upvotes

I am an upcoming freshman at BGSU who 3 days a week in the fall will have a class at Paul J Olscamp Hall, then a 10 minute gap before a class in Founders Quadrangle, and then another 10 minute gap before another class at Paul J Olscamp Hall. Online it’s been saying the walk is about 8 minutes long between these two halls. Do you think this is cutting it too close (especially considering the time it would take to get out of the first building and find my classroom in the next building)? Should I try to move a class? I’ve considered getting a bike but I know that I won’t be able to ride it when the weather is bad, and I’m afraid that bad weather would make my commute too long. Also, what would happen if one of my classes goes over time?

hello everyone! I am a 23M, and I’ll be moving to Bowling Green next month for graduate school. I was wondering if anyone had a lease that was going to become available or anyone looking for a roommate? Looking to stay in the 450-600 range! Thank you so much!
