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.

I'm 2nd on the waitlist for MATH 4410 - Probability & Statistics I and 1st on the waitlist for PHYS 4160 - Classical Mechanics. Are people on the waitlist for a class likely able to join the class?

I am an upcoming freshman living on the 2nd floor of McDonald Hall. Should I just use disposable paper plates and plastic utensils or should I use the kitchen sink in the hall to wash reusable dishes/utensils? I know that using reusable plates/utensils is better for the environment, but wouldn’t it be kinda inconvenient and gross for me to go wash my dishes and utensils in the shared kitchen on the first floor?

First place I ever ate in BG as an undergrad in 2010. Great place! I wonder why they closed? 🤔 Anyone know?

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 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

Didn't he move across the street and then sell the place? Dude was awesome and everyone loved him. Just for reference, went here from 2010-2012. Thanks

In terms of sports/drinking/parties how fun is it?

I’m an upcoming freshman that is 2nd on the waitlist for the class MUCT 1250 - Exploring Music of World Culture on Tue/Thurs from 9:30 AM - 10:45 AM. I was 3rd on the waitlist when I was put on it a week ago at orientation, but I moved to 2nd a few days after. I’ve been told it is a pretty popular class. Do you think I have a good chance of getting off the waitlist and into the class? Or is 2nd/1st on the waitlist the best it’s probably gonna get?

UPDATE: it’s been nine days since I’ve made this post and I am happy to say that I got off the waitlist late last night!

Hello! I’m an incoming freshman and I was wondering if the MacBook M5 would be compatible with Business coursework? Online it says a windows computer is required, however, I was wondering if MacBook could slide by, especially with the more advanced models. I was wondering if any upperclassmen could provide some insight. Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm a freshman this fall, transferring from Owen's. I was wondering if class registration is like Owen's. I met with the advisor today and she just kind of made a schedule without really talking much about it, and as someone who works full-time honestly I kind of would prefer to like, make my own schedule.

At Owen's you had access to a list that was your curriculum and it showed what classes fulfilled it and what you needed. Is BGSU like that or will I have to rely on advisors every term? I'm just wondering if there's an easy, or any, way of seeing your curriculum requirements and what you have that fulfills it.

I will be an incoming freshman this fall and I was lucky enough to get a single suite dorm in Centennial. I was wondering if anyone had pictures or dimensions of the D room in particular?? There is one set of dimensions posted on the BGSU website for the singles but all of the rooms are built differently. Any help with this is greatly appreciated!

Hello,

I'm an upcoming Junior here at BG and im thinking about changing my major to Ecology and Conservation. The current major im in doesnt have a foreign language requirement, and my shcool only offered 2 years in languages. However... I dont remember anything. Are there any options in regards to finishing my 2 remaining class credits somewhere else that might take it easier on me..? or should I just start over

I am an upcoming freshman at BGSU who 3 days a week in the fall will have a class at Paul J Olscamp Hall, then a 10 minute gap before a class in Founders Quadrangle, and then another 10 minute gap before another class at Paul J Olscamp Hall. Online it’s been saying the walk is about 8 minutes long between these two halls. Do you think this is cutting it too close (especially considering the time it would take to get out of the first building and find my classroom in the next building)? Should I try to move a class? I’ve considered getting a bike but I know that I won’t be able to ride it when the weather is bad, and I’m afraid that bad weather would make my commute too long. Also, what would happen if one of my classes goes over time?

incoming freshman here, are we allowed kettles in dorm rooms? i know open heating appliances aren't allowed, but im not sure if a kettle falls under that or not.

also what do the kriescher kitchens look like? i heard there is a kitchen on each floor but i've never seen any pictures or anything.

hello everyone! I am a 23M, and I’ll be moving to Bowling Green next month for graduate school. I was wondering if anyone had a lease that was going to become available or anyone looking for a roommate? Looking to stay in the 450-600 range! Thank you so much!

I am an upcoming freshman at BGSU and I have been dancing for over 8 years. I have been doing competitive dance for about 7 years, but I’ve decided to transition to recreational dance in college. I really want to take lots of classes in college since I am very passionate about dance, especially tap, ballroom, and modern. I know the University Dance Alliance (UDA) is a thing, and I do plan on joining that, but that is only 1.5 hours a week. Do I need to minor in dance to take the DANC courses that BGSU offers? Or is there a limit to how many courses I can take before I have to declare a dance minor?

alright so, here is my situation. i was a freshman last year and decided i didn’t like my major, so i switched from psych to social work at the end of the spring semester. then, i chose all of my classes as if i were going into social work. fast forward to this summer, i fully looked into what social work entails and i realized that i’m actually stupid and social work would be too hard. i also realized that i’m not passionate about anything anymore and that i would rather get a business degree, y’know, to broaden my horizons. the thing is, i don’t want to take another full semester of classes i don’t need. at this point, it would probably be impossible to get into business classes since the time to sign up has long since passed. should i attempt to change my major and sign up for business classes anyway? i don’t want to lose my financial aid/scholarships by taking a semester off and trying again in the spring. can anybody who is experienced in being indecisive help me with this decision? also, please don’t yell at me about switching to social work without knowing the details. like i said, i’m stupid.

edit: okay good news! i just had an appointment with my advisor and im switching back to psychology! he said that it might be possible to switch some of my classes as well. im having a meeting with my previous advisor on Thursday to go over everything. hopefully it all goes well.

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!!

I've been living in an apartment off campus and had Spectrum for the past year, but they're about to increase my rate from the $30/month promotional rate. Are there any other ISPs that y'all would recommend or is Spectrum my only option?

Would be starting next fall (2027), for early childhood education. Tell me about it! Good, bad, pros, cons, expenses… Anything!

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)
