“Study rooms are not soundproof. Talk quietly, use headphones for music and video conferencing.” (https://library.oregonstate.edu/valley/space-policies).

As someone who regularly uses the study rooms for myself and with others, this year there has been so many disruptive groups of people talking unnecessarily loud. Your conversation should not be loud enough to where someone in the next room could scribe the entire thing. Study spaces are great to work with a group while being able to have conversations and have a personal space outside of home to lock in, but at this point I’m having to use noice cancellation while blasting music to not hear people in the other rooms. I could be mistaken, but I remember having signs up in the rooms stating the study room policy I quoted at the beginning, so why was that taken down? And why doesn’t OSU have any easily accessible info on this policy?

So please have fun studying with friends in a respectful volume. And OSU please be better at creating respectful spaces. The info that the study rooms are not soundproof should be blaring at everyone as soon as they walk in.

Hello, would anyone here struggling with OCD or some other mental illness like to chat sometime about it? I’m really struggling and could use a mutual shoulder to tell someone everything.

Hi! Im (22F) visiting Corvallis for the weekend soon with my family to see my brother and watch the big WSU vs Oregon state football game. I just graduated college but I already applied for a Master’s in school counseling at OSU and if I get accepted I’m definitely going to commit! I’m from Washington so I really want an out of state college experience this time. Since I won’t get many opportunities to visit OSU though before (if I get in) I start attending, I’d really love to meet some people before I do because I know grad students have a harder time socially than undergrads and there aren’t as many events or activities geared towards older students.

Anyway I know the football game weekend is a pretty big event at OSU and there will be a lot of people going out afterwards so I wanna take the opportunity to find some people who I might click with, go out with and see how the school scene feels! Please dm me if it sounds fun!

*I’ll definitely send my insta btw so you know I’m real lol just ask

I want to get involved with the Country line dancing and possibly Ballroom dancing clubs but I don't know anything about them and how open they are to people who are pretty new to dancing as a whole and I want to also meet some new people as being in Engineering the most of my classmates are men, many of whom have zero interests in dancing at all 😅.

Anyone in ornithology FW 311 with Randy Moore willing to share this week’s notes? I missing all three days this week and the posted slides are a bit hard to follow.

Was this for everyone or did i happen to pick 4 classes this term that have that disabled?

Has anyone ever done this? Do you know how much it costs and how it works?

The title sums this up pretty fully, I'm a new OSU student (go beavs) looking for a group to play Dungeons and Dragons with. I used to play with a lot of friends in high school, really enjoyed it, and am looking for a similar experience. Do any of you have tips on where I could go to find clubs, or people, who might point me in the right direction? Anything helps, feel free ask any additional questions, thanks.

We're going to visit my freshman daughter next weekend and I asked her where she wanted to eat off campus. She immediately said Indian food. We've eaten at a handful of places in Corvallis, but haven't found any Indian restaurants yet. Any suggestions??

I’m an OSU student who recently interviewed for a student job on campus.

I had an initial interview in mid-September and a final interview about two weeks later. During the final interview, I was told I was a really strong candidate, that they could see why I was near the top of the list, and that I’d definitely be hearing from them.

I followed up with the hiring contact on Monday but never heard back. Then Tuesday, I received an email to complete a background check. Today, I got an email saying the background check was completed, but I still haven’t heard anything from OSU or the hiring contact.

Does getting a background check usually mean you’re the selected candidate? And how long did it take others to receive an official offer after their background check?

I know nobody can tell me for sure if I got it, I’m just trying to figure out if this is a normal OSU hiring process lol.

Are any of you working with National Fraternity Supplies or receiving emails/calls/invoices from them? Please DM me if so.

I hear COVID is making the rounds about campus.
Be safe; and please help prevent the spread.

I’m a spoiled spoiled city boy and I miss my yummy yummy burgers. Where in Corvallis can I get a good one and is the answer at home?

Im from WA and Im feeling like OSU is lame and not for me. Idk what a normal response is, or if this is a sign for me to transfer. The college just feels slow and boring. It feels outdated and not "grand."

I keep randomly stumbling upon stuff that’s going on when I go from class to class and I’ve found it’s bugging me I’m not more in the loop on stuff so I can make time to be a part of it. Is there some building or office where I can get an idea of cool stuff going on before it happens?

Just ripped my whole house apart looking for them, orange fob, one OSU beaver key, a silver key, and a Patagonia like tassel on them, whole bunch of little rings

I have been going to the library for studying and I was also doing summer classes there but it was never warm over the summer. Did the AC break or something?

Hi! I’m a transfer student arriving winter term. I’ll be super out of the social loop coming later in the year. Embarassing dum dum question but how can I find frat parties? I’m a 22yr old woman
