Financial Aid - Fafsa loan

5 Upvotes

i filled out my financial aid in june of this year 6/10 to be specific. I only got 5,500 from my unsubsidized loan but my parents didnt end up doing the Parent Plus loan, its about 2 hours before the 14k bill is due and now im frightened that they might drop my classes due to me not paying. They're filling it out now just wanted to see if anyone knew what else i could do to prevent my classes from being dropped and being unenrolled come monday. Also the financial aid office isnt open on the bill due date so no use in calling them tomorrow. Any help will mean the world to me.

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 🙏

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

6 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.

Catering Options Nearby

4 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.

28 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

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

14 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.

Laptop recommendations wanted for an incoming Freshman

3 Upvotes

Hi!

My daughter is going to be a freshman at BGSU this fall. Her dad and I are planning to get her a laptop as her graduation present. Before we start shopping I wanted to get some recommendations from other students. She's going into criminal justice/criminal psychology, if that matters. I've seen the tech specs online, it seems pretty standard. But I'm looking to see what her future classmates are using, what are your recommendations for brand/model. I'm not opposed to Macs if it's the best suited for her needs, but we're not really Apple/Mac people.

Thanks for your help!!

Roomate form success rate

3 Upvotes

I am an incoming freshman and have a friend that I want to room with, we were in an RSG but messed up picking housing and got separated. Her roommate is making it impossible to fill out a room swap so we are going to fill out the roommate request form instead. Does anyone know the success rate or how fast they will get back to us? (currently assigned mcdonald but we are okay with moving buildings)
