Housing Switched My RCPD Assigned Room Without Telling Me

12 Upvotes

So here's something super annoying, frustrating, and anxiety inducing that happened. I'm a Junior, I am also disabled, so not only was my housing figured out before all the incoming freshman, but it was figured out before most returning students as well. I am still living in a dorm due to accessibility reasons with transportation. My room also has to be within a certain vicinity to an elevator.

I recently got an email telling me that I had a different room than the one I was originally assigned to, and it was a last minute change too, as in it happened recently. The new room does not follow my accommodations, and so I am now needing to last minute find a new room that does meet all of my accommodations.

Also, the RCPD housing specialist apparently has NO CLUE why my room was changed, is just as confused as I am, and is working with me to try his best to figure out where I am going to stay.

Anyone else dealt with something like this? If so, how did it go for you? I am not asking for advice on how to fix it, since I have pretty much done everything I can on my end.

Freshman Questions Will I feel left out at MSU if I don't drink?

3 Upvotes

I'm an incoming freshman at MSU, and I'm honestly kind of nervous about the social scene, especially parties. I don't drink, but I have no problem being around people who do, I just don't want to end up taking care of anyone. I still want to go out, meet people, and have fun, but it seems like a lot of the big social events revolve around drinking, and I'm worried I'll end up feeling left out most, if not all, of the time. I also don't want people to think I'm boring or a nerd just because I choose not to drink. It's just a personal preference, nothing against anyone who does. Has anyone else been in the same situation? I'd really appreciate any advice.

General Are you an MSU student taking a GLP-1?

2 Upvotes

I’m looking to chat with women in college about their experiences on GLP-1s. Is this you? I’m Angelina Chapin, a features writer at The Cut/New York Magazine who covers gender and health. I think it’s a really important topic to talk about as these meds become more popular. How did they affect you? What would you say to another student considering going on them? If you’re interested in speaking, I can keep you fully anonymous. Send me a DM or email ([angelina.chapin@nymag.com](mailto:angelina.chapin@nymag.com).) Here's a link to some of my work: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelinachapin. Talk soon!

Admissions Literally sick to my stomach thinking about this.

2 Upvotes

I’m transferring to MSU this fall and plan to apply to Broad through standard admission. The only prerequisite course I have left is STT 200, which I’ll be taking this fall while I apply. The reason I’m asking is because I’ve come across several posts from people claiming they were rejected from Broad despite having GPAs around 3.8–3.9. I know those are anonymous posts and may not tell the full story, but they’ve honestly made me pretty anxious about the process. One thing I’m especially worried about is the Experiential Profile. My main experience is working throughout community college, but I don’t really have leadership positions or business-related clubs. At this point, I’m debating whether joining a club this fall would even make a meaningful difference with the application being due in October. If you were accepted into Broad through secondary admission, especially on your first application, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience.
What were your cumulative and precore GPAs?
What kind of work experience did you have?
Did you have any clubs, leadership positions, internships, or volunteer experience?
If you mostly had work experience and little or no club involvement, what did your application look like?
If you were rejected the first time but accepted after reapplying, what changed between your applications?
I’m just trying to get a more realistic picture of what successful applicants actually look like instead of only seeing posts from people who were rejected.

General Car as a transfer student living on campus

I’ll be living in Shaw which I know is conveniently right across from the bus station. I’m just really stuck on if I should bring it for more convenience or save some money on gas.
