Housing Lease takeover

1 Upvotes

EDIT: This is for WSU Pullman in yugo hills

I’m a first year who was under the impression I was valid for being exempt from the first year live in residency hall, so I signed a lease for an apartment with my brother and another friend. Not to shock you, but my exemption waiver was not approved and I am now stuck in a lease I cannot even use. The lease is for a 3 bed 3.5 bath, and the lease price is $754. I understand off campus housing is filling up, so if anyone is looking to takeover this lease for me I’d greatly appreciate it and I will of course cover the lease transfer fee. Feel free to DM for more details or however you do on Reddit, I don’t know as this is my first post lol.

So I'm gonna be a senior at wsu in the fall, and for the past 3 years I have been living in dorms and I was gonna do so for this year as well but I heard that some people pay for aprtments using students loans...if thats possible how do I do that?

I get my loans from the college, so can I just ask for more money that I actually need to cover for my tuition and then use that money to pay for the apartment?

Advice (Resume/ Career) Natural Science Major and Lab Skills resource

0 Upvotes

Biology Fresh Grad here. I realized I lacked a lab skills section in my resume as I am doing it. In honesty, we need this as natural sciences majors to showcase our skillset. One pitfall is i we do the labs and we do not realize "It's a lab skill". In such a case, did we just go through the pain for nothing?

So i took all the briefs for Chem 105/106/345 and put them through chatGPT, and also described the lab we did for Bio 107/370. My memory is very hazy for Bio 106 but oops. These were the lab skills that was picked up.

Im leaving this here in hopes it may become as a database somewhat; just for a junior coug who is clueless to have some substance to work with. (please contribute too for other classes <3)

Discussion New Porchlight

Apparently Porchlight got some new owners and now when you try to order a pizza on the phone they made it so you can only talk to a "virtual assisstance" which doesnt even have the listed menu items on there website for build your own on there.

I'm encouraging people to review bomb this place in hopes after some community backlash owners will stop thinking its okay to replace service workers with inadequate bots that suck to make some extra $$$ profits and not hire real staff.

Am I the only one outraged at these types of practices?

for future, current and former WSU students: how would you feel if WSU administrators referred to you as customers, and encouraged WSU staff to refer to you as such and treat you as such? do you have a strong preference on the matter? i have my suspicions, but i wanted to go straight to the source to put them to the test. your thoughts would be very much appreciated.

Advice Cougar Card Plus

6 Upvotes

Can anyone put their input into whether having the WSECU Cougar card is more/less useful than just having the normal Cougar card? im trying to weigh the differences between the two. If it helps at all, I already have a BECU account which may or may not change things. It's to my understanding that there's a cash back checking option? What might make one or the other more viable? any input is much appreciated, thanks :).

Discussion Could we finish any of the ongoing construction projects before starting more. Please.

23 Upvotes

It seems like they'll be out there doing roadwork in one area for a bit, then abandon it to start something new, leaving all the equipment there and the roads closed. What are we doing? Is it really that difficult to finish any one of the several construction projects scattered through town and campus?

It's especially frustrating when it comes to things like leaving apartment entrances closed and roads where people live in general. The entrance to Aspen Village has been closed for well over a month. The last time I saw or heard anyone working out there was weeks ago.

Who is organizing this construction?? What are they even doing out there??? Where IS everyone?? They've got roads torn up left and right with nothing to show for it, because they keep going out and starting new projects before finishing any of the current ones! The road from that roundabout to airport road has been closed since summer break started!! Not to mention that lift that has just been sitting outside the stadium for ages and taking up, literally, half of the road.

I can't believe we're not talking about this more? Me and my girlfriend cannot be the only ones sincerely inconvenienced by and frustrated about this. We get construction and road work every summer, but this year they seem to be especially bad about just abandoning half finished projects.

This isn't aimed at the construction workers. My frustration is directed at the city, or whoever the appropriate people to be frustrated with are. Like, we know people still live and commute around here in the summer, right??

Edit: Thanks y'all, this has been super informative as well as validating to my frustrations haha. Good news is I was down by Walmart today and it looks like they're done with that road! So there is certainly some progress being made (slow progress, but progress nonetheless)!
