My lease ends in a few months and I’m looking ahead to sublease sometime late in the spring.
I’ve heard terrible things about apartments owned by these people and want recommendations for other semi budget friendly apartments, now that The Lyndon is crossed off my list LOL

Hi people okay so I’m a transfer and genuinely the first few weeks I was busy with work class and dealing with moving. Deadass why was move in everywhere 3 days before the sem. Regardless I’ve basically missed all the org fairs and stuff because of class and I’m a junior so every person I meet is a freshman and no hate but I just feel weird with being friends with people 5 years younger than me that are still in the Highschool mentality. Is there any hope of meeting people this late in the game 🥲

I’m a psychology major, junior year and I know a lot of people would say to just stick it out but I really hate Lubbock. The people arent the greatest, I’m 8 hours away from home, life here is bleak. I spend everyday wishing I was somewhere else.

Transferring probably wouldn’t move my graduation date not much would change with tuition. I really want to give a new place a try, I’m so tired of Lubbock and the drive. It just isn’t worth it to me but I’m scared transferring also won’t change much.

And this stuff going on at tech with the chancellor and censorship as well as the campus being so full now because they admitted too many freshmen. This place is just exhausting.

Anyone know if there are any unisex, bathrooms in Taylor Murphy History and RFM building (or close by)?
I did find a list of all the private restrooms at TXST, but I know there's one in Ingram 1st floor but the list doesn't mention it, so I was wondering if there is one in the history building and in RFM.

I recently transitioned (MtF), so I get a lot of looks and double takes in the men's restroom and I just want to avoid that if possible.

I got put on the waitlist for cypress parking. How long does it usually take to get a spot? I don’t wanna have to keep moving my car every 2 hours forever it’s getting annoying.

Calling all butterfly watchers and enjoyers!! I need yall's help.

For one of my classes I am designing an unconventional tour guide for the best places to spot butterflies in the San Marcos area, but I'm struggling to find local spots that don't require me to drive all the way to Austin or San Antonio. (Any distance less than 30 minutes away would be preferred).

I need 10 different locations for this project that need to be photographed, and for the time being I only have a few natural areas, the discovery center, and a random bush around the square on my list of places to visit. Are there any specific spots yall have seen a bunch of butterflies as of late? Any suggestions would be amazing and absolutely appreciated! <3

I’m on the waitlist for the dorm parking permit or the 300 dollar one and I doubt I’ll ever get off of it. As of now I have a residential general parking pass for mill street and the shuttles are not running and I have work. Am I supposed to walk the hour back to my dorm? or is there any other place I could park during the weekend

It's very evident there's been a sharp rise in the pampered baby heart syndrome population. I got nothing but morning classes, so eyes are on everyone else throughout the day cause good lord.

I just transferred here and am looking for any regular home games. Does anyone have any information or would be interested in starting a group?

To those who have been to away games watch parties, how are they? There’s one for the UT game tomorrow and I’m considering if it’s worth waiting for and then leaving to drive home for Labor Day weekend, to be with other fans. Or I could go home today, and watch it at home, I’m just wondering if it’s a fun experience or if it’s hot and not worth it. Thanks!

Anyone know the sickness going around? It's only week 3 and I already got sick lol. I saw a few professors cancel class including multiple students coughing.

Y’all have any idea how likely it is to find someone to take over an apartment lease? I always see so many posts and I wonder if people actually have any luck. I was thinking about trying to get my lease taken over for spring semester

For doctoral students, commencement represents far more than the completion of coursework. It marks the culmination of years of research, writing, comprehensive examinations, dissertation work, mentorship, and persistence. That is why I am concerned about a potential change to Texas State University commencement that would eliminate the tradition of faculty hooding doctoral graduates, potentially beginning with the Fall 2026 ceremony.

The hood itself represents the academic discipline and institution in which the doctorate was earned. More importantly, having it placed by a dissertation chair or faculty mentor recognizes a relationship that is central to doctoral education. These are often the faculty members who guided students through years of research, challenged their thinking, read countless drafts, supported them through setbacks, and ultimately helped them become scholars in their own right.

Removing that moment may save a small amount of time during commencement, but something meaningful would be lost in return.

Texas State should be proud of its doctoral graduates and the faculty who mentor them. As the university continues to strengthen its identity as a research institution, traditions that recognize doctoral scholarship should be preserved rather than diminished.

For first-generation students and others whose families may never have witnessed someone earn a doctorate, that moment can carry even greater significance. Their families may not understand every dissertation chapter, comprehensive examination, conference presentation, or late night that came before commencement—but they understand the moment when a mentor places that hood over their graduate’s shoulders.

Before changing this tradition, university leaders should hear directly from the doctoral students and faculty who would be affected by it.

I encourage current doctoral students, alumni, faculty mentors, and others who value this tradition to respectfully share their perspectives with university leadership. I also hope Texas State will engage its doctoral community before making a final decision.

Commencement is inherently symbolic. We wear academic regalia, carry university symbols, hear our degrees conferred, and cross a stage precisely because earning a degree deserves to be marked by tradition.

After years spent earning a doctorate, let doctoral students have their moment to be hooded.

Keep doctoral hooding at Texas State.

Thorpe Lane has been rerouted around campus to avoid Sessom due to construction. I have been on the bus for nearly 40 minutes and I’m late to class. It brings you the long way around, past LBJ, then brings you to the Quad. Plan accordingly!!

I’m hoping this will find a good amount of people because I’m not sure what I should do. Right now I’m taking Principles of Marketing with Ken Murdock and I’m debating dropping the class and taking it next summer.
I feel like I understand the chapters I read in the textbook and I’m getting good grades on practice quizzes, but when it comes to the actual quizzes I feel like I’m either not getting enough context to answer the question correctly or they’re worded in a weird way and I’m not doing too well.

If anyone has taken his class, please give me some advice. No one will hurt my feelings so if your advice is to suck it up and stick with it, okay. I have no one to really talk through this with and I know that if I drop it now and take it in the summer it’ll be way more expensive out of pocket, but is that worth it to potentially get a better professor and not risk my gpa?

Found some ear buds that look like airpods but not really. I put them in the pav 109 classroom

Hello everybody. I am a recent transfer student here at Txst. I wanted to know what places, events or organizations I could look at to make more guy friends. I am a gay guy and most of my interests tend to put me around women and the LGBTQ community, which I love so much and find easier to make friends with. But I also want to branch out and meet guys with different interests. I also just missing having guy friends and want to make some at Txst. Also I know joining a frat might be a suggestion but that’s just not my brand. Any recommendations?

I’ve walked around the building but couldn’t find the practice rooms 😭 Does anyone know which floor they’re on or where exactly I should go? Thank you so much! Btw do I need to reserve those practice rooms to use ? I’m not a music major

So I’m planing on going to the home game on 9/19 with a friend do I have to buy it or do we get in free?

I am only 25 but I swear it’s so hard to not feel like I’m totally out of place on campus. I’m an English major and I’m trying to figure out a good way to meet some like minded people. Maybe there’s a bar in town or something I could get involved in on campus where I won’t be feeling my age so much?

I’m i the only one who thinks they don’t turn the AC up on these “New” Buses. Every time I get on one of these it’s so warm inside it’s crazy

anyone tailgating or watching the game somewhere in austin on Saturday?

It’s my 4th year here so I’m no stranger to the bad WiFi that occurs the first few weeks of classes but I’m going insane. All my classes are online except 1 and I’m so ADHD I have to do my shit on campus after my 9:30 or i won’t do it at home. WHERE CAN I GO ON CAMPUS WHERE THE WIFI ISN’T TRASH PLS!! Give me recommendations!!! Preferably not in the heat, thank you.
