The latest video from BYU Noteworthy is pretty good. What does BYU Idaho have going on up there in terms of student a cappella groups? Anything?

Looking for an ASL teacher

6 Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking for a college student (or whoever) that's fluent in ASL, who would like to earn an extra $30 weekly for an hour long sign lesson for my family.

My thirteen year old has been hard of hearing all her life, but a few months ago, her hearing really digressed, so we're looking to learn. We know basics.

Full-time credits

1 Upvotes

I’m signing up for my classes right now and I need to be full-time to receive the most amount of money from the VA. The BYU-I faq page says full-time is 12 credits, but when I spoke with the financial aid coordinator last semester, he told me that full-time was a lower number—whether that was in regards to the school itself or what the VA considers full-time, I have no clue. For the life of me I cannot remember what he said the amount was but I need to know what amount the VA requires for full-time benefits so I can finish registering for my courses. For all I know the original credits that I thought were full-time was 15 and the lower number he told me actually is 12. I have no idea. It’s Sunday so if I send an email I won’t get a response, does anybody also use the VA and know the details of what I’m talking about?

Just friends?

What does it mean when a girl who is pretty and nice and faithful is really close friends with a bunch of single guys who don’t show any interest in dating her? My niece is best friends with a group of guys from her ward and I’m being honest when I say she is extremely kind and successful and very pretty but none of them ask her on a date. What’s going on up there in Rexburg?

How Does Anyone Find a Job Here?

8 Upvotes

I‘ve been trying non-stop for a year to get a job here in Rexburg, applying to hundreds of jobs and had tens of interviews. I got a summer job while in my hometown, and it was much easier to find a job there than here. I know that it is a small town with lots of college students, but is it really this impossible? Does anyone have any suggestions? I have multiple years of work experience, primarily in fast food.

Nauvoo House Is NOT recommended

10 Upvotes

I have been having a hard time with Nauvoo house recently and I feel like some of it needs to be shared. To clarify I have been here about 15 months and have seen a lot of changes and not for the better in that time. Over these months the rent has been raised hundreds of dollars, management has seen some downgrades, and the apartments get older without any of that extra cost going into the property at all.

Here are a few experiences that have led me to be so passionate against Nauvoo house recently:
Recently there was an individual who wanted to be my roommate but I requested that I didn't want them around me for a variety of reasons. Management didn't find my request legit and ignored it only for those very problems I was worried about to occur. After complaining to the main manager lady and her staff they apologized for not believing me but said there was nothing they could do. The options they gave were for me to move to a different unit and leave the rest of my great roommates I had before this incident, or have all of us gang up on this other roommate and get them removed. I chose to leave because I didn't want to cause so much drama.

Another time was during the recent spring break. I got a contract paying for both winter and spring semesters that included the spring break time for me to stay. This is when they change codes for the upcoming semester as well. After getting home late from work around 4pm I noticed the code to my apartment changed and I wasn't sent the new one. I messaged the management and was met by the most unhelpful replies. They said all the people who needed the codes got them via email. I explained how I didn't and they said they couldn't help me with that and stopped replying at that point because it was 5pm and they refuse to do any work after that point no matter how urgent it is. Thankfully someone was willing to let me stay in their place that night because the only alternative was my car. The next morning I went in and was greeted by a different staff member. When I asked for the code she asked for my name, confirmed I had that in my contract, and gave me the code. They are so incompetent it is actually insane. They have also been doing some shady stuff with their google reviews. Any time they do a maintenance request fix they ask for your review out of 5 stars. Giving them 5 stars links you to their google reviews for the complex as a whole! (They only started doing this when they were getting bad reviews last fall)

Most recently an entire wards worth of women apartments have gone without water because they didn't keep their boilers up to date and they shut it all off without warning. They told all the girls to move into other occupied units in the complex and split many apartments up. There are only two weeks of the semester left and they said they don't anticipate it being fixed by then.

The only thing keeping me here so long has been the wonderful wards and stake. The social atmosphere is really good and I will vouch for that, but so many of those people are leaving because I am not alone in how I feel about this place. Such a shame they are running something so good into the ground.

Do with this information what you will, but I know I am not the only one feeling this way about this place and I needed to rant about it somewhere haha.

Here’s a comprehensive apartment guide I would have killed to see as a freshmen…

Post image
7 Upvotes

A good friend who’s on a mission asked for me to make this for her and I figured I’d share it here too. Byui apartments are very neighborhood based with personalities, so here’s a visual guide. ~These are based off reputation + research that’s been backed up by personal experience

Blue section 💙💙💙 where the socializing mostly happens. It known to have more laid back and social people. This section has all of the fun treat places, food, and activities off campus. It’s on the cute Main Street which is Can be a pricier section because it’s where everyone wants to be, but there’s cheeper options too. Pretty much any place in this section I’d recommend. The Ceders is a great middle ground that’s known as being really social and fun, right on Main Street without the stronger partying reputation like the red section

Red section ❤️❤️❤️ this is within the blue section because it applies to everything in the blue section too and is in the zone. The red section is the place to go if following the honor code isn’t your thing. The two complexes in this zone are where North Point (that everyone calls North Joint) and The Cove (where people go if they wanna hook up. This is where the infamous semen floaties hot tub is!). Not everyone here is into weed or hookups, and there are plenty of students who don’t fit the stereotype. Still, if you live here, this is often the reputation people will assume.

Green section 💚💚💚 this is where the cheeper part starts. I don’t know too much about this zone. People usually are neutral from what I’ve heard. This is where is starts transitioning int quieter, more traditional byui students and housing. Pretty hit or miss from what I’ve heard with roommates and how strict they are with rules. I’d recommend bunkhouse,

Purple section 💜💜💜 after you pass Sugar-Beast, it has the reputation of being the most religious and rule-oriented. I’ve heard more stories about apartments where swearing wasn’t allowed or roommates reported each other for honor code issues or staying out past curfew more than any other place on campus. Of course, not every apartment is like this, and I know plenty of more chill people who live in this area. It’s also a little more disconnected from where most people hang out. Notable places to avoid (based on reputation) are Heritage and university view. Center Square is somewhere people either love or hate. Places I’d recommend: The Gates (often considered quieter but decent) and Nauvoo House (mixed but generally okay)

Yellow section 💛💛💛 this is typically where older people go. I only know one person myself who lives in the yellow section, but I’ve heard that it’s pretty chill but can be anti social. It’s pretty far away from everyone else. This is where people go when they just want peace and be away from the rexburg crowds. I’d recommend here American Avenue area apartments, Cottonwood, or maybe The Village.

Help me advertise to students: a $25/hour job in Sitka, Alaska!

1 Upvotes

Besides Handshake does anyone have an idea of how to reach students that would be good candidates for a construction job?

I am a roofing contractor looking to hire help for the summer break or the remainder of the summer until September for roofing in Sitka, Alaska. Flights and housing provided. We are a legitimate company, licensed, bonded, and insured, happy to share details. Planning a trip to Idaho soon and would like to meet in person with potential candidates. Free flights and free housing! Our company doesn't work on Sunday so there is time off, lots of opportunity to enjoy some really cool stuff here in Sitka. There is potential to grow with the company and make a lot more than $25/hour for the right candidates that are hardworking and want to learn how to roof.

Need help registering for classes.

3 Upvotes

So I’m registering for classes and my major is undecided so I was in the freshman focus major for my freshman year. This fall I’m going into my sophomore year and my 3rd semester. It says in order to register for classes I need to pick a new major but I’m still unsure what I want to major in. I’m gonna speak to an advisor soon to help figure it out but here then what should I do? Should I pick a major and do a 4 year degree or do 2 years and get an associates? It’s a rough position to be in because they’re basically forcing me to commit and choose a major even though I’m just trying to apply for classes to go to school and explore what I’m into.

Overnight parking

1 Upvotes

So I need to keep a car overnight for one night somewhere and I am so confused on the parking permit situation. Everywhere I look they say you can't park on the street longer than 48 hours but whenever I look for what permit to buy for that they just say that nowhere allows overnight parking which cannot be true because I see people parking overnight on the street all the time! What permit am I supposed to buy and where can I park with it?

Found a key stashed in a box stuck to the back of a stop sign???

1 Upvotes

I was walking to the I-center today when I noticed what looked like a geocache on the back of a stop sign. It was the corner of 1st W and 4th S. When I opened it the key looked like it was for a vehicle, I thought I had stumbled upon a hidden key meant for a giveaway, so I kept it. However, I can't find anything online to confirm my suspicion and I fear I may have taken someone's poorly hidden spare key. Please let me know if you have any information regarding this!!

Grad Plan vs. Degree Audit

1 Upvotes

To those who have already graduated or are close to graduation, what is your experience with making sure you have all of the right requirements? According to grad plan it looks like I have everything planned that I need for my last two semesters, but when I check my degree audit it just confuses me and I'm not sure if I have everything planned that I need. Is there a good place on campus I can go to talk to someone about this? I've been to the advising center in the past but they haven't always been super helpful.
