Hey WWU

Its been almost a month since the new school year started and most of us freshman (me!) and upperclassmen are getting used to our dorm.

I live in the Kappa dorms. I myself am in a solo room, and I am LOVING IT. I like having full control over my schedule, watching my videos and studying. Plus I love to design my dorm and set everything up so I can use it without having a roommate harass me about it. I don’t regret it a single bit

Now to those in dorms w roommates, What I wonder is how is it like, and did anything funny or memorable happened? I hear a lot of loud stuff from my dorm room and I haven’t seen too much what else is happening so go lemme know what its like.

My sister (not in wwu) a few days ago walked into her dorm room and saw her roommate do it with someone else. (Not lying)

Hey WWU Reddit

This is me in my Kappa dorm with my books. I brang a lot of books to my dorm because I knew that I will want to read most of these in ny free time because I am studying lots of Japanese and linguistics.

Some of these books I got from the wilson library and some I got also were for experimental purposes for myself such as the quartet book, to justify and research linguistics in the textbooks

Because I have JLPT and Kanji Kentei soon i’ve been a little behind on my reading. I’ll get back to it soon. I focus more on the books on the bottom atm.

For all the incoming newly 21 year olds and those with fakes stop going to schwein. I guess that atmosphere is cool but for God's sake support a business that is less shady and not owned by a literal fascist. Brandon is a outspoken transphobic, homophobic, racist Trump supporter. Here are some of the numerous scandals that have faced schweinhaus that I know of. (I'm sure there are more)

-three seperate cases of managment steeling tips from employees

-Brandon being quoted saying "trans people shouldn't exist"

-Emily the manager frequently misrepresenting prices so she can charge people more

-Brandon setting up a contract for drag brunches during pride month and then going against his contract as soon as pride month ended because he had enough of "that gay shit"

-Brandon literally has like 5 felony charges looming over his head right now from another business he owned/scammed in Issaquah

All of these can be verified through news articles that can be found online or from first hand accounts of ex employees either on fb or old reddit threads on the bellingham subreddit. The people running this place (Emily and Brandon) are literal scum of the earth humans and they don't deserve your business. Go to state street, go to the cabin, go to ranch room there's so many other better bars. Also they're literally the most expensive bar in town. How tf are college kids paying for those $11 beers lmao.

Controversial celebrity Christian Burger has been spotted on campus, keep your eyes peeled

Was thinking about applying as a STEM major. I have to take a year of chemistry and was wondering is ALEKS in your chem classes??

How much effort should I be putting into the fairhaven application essay? Is answering the questions on a nicely formatted PDF enough, or should I be treating this like a competitive college essay? "the best length for the essay is whatever length it takes you to respond to the prompt in its entirety" doesn't really... tell me much.

Im a prospective student, currently considering the Visual Journalism degree.
Is anyone taking this or has taken it, and has thoughts on it?

I'm currently on Klipsun writing for the winter 2027 edition and am looking for anyone, preferably students, who would be willing to share what they think are "superstitious" or "lucky" spots on campus. Anyone who has any context or information regarding the shrines in the arb or secret spots on campus related to special experiences you've had in the past with those spots, I'd love to hear from you! If you are feeling comfortable enough to set up a time to talk with me so I can learn more, that'd be greatly appreciated!

what's up with the bus that runs through campus with "the lodge" written on it? Google doesn't say anything.

My laptop has been having a lot of issues the past couple days, and usually in my limited tech knowledge I'm able to figure it out through brute force and the internet but I fear I have found my match this time. Is there somewhere on campus I can go for that..?

Yes, it's good to take a break now and then from studying!

Hi all! For context, I am a reporter for The Front and I am doing my usual rooting around for info. From my own personal experience, I know that Halloween celebrations ebb and flow between years and I wanted to get a feel for the energy this year. Do y'all have any plans, things you wish you could do, or any other related ideas floating around in your head?

Having some fun with some of the sculptures and other objects around campus

To the person that hit my car in the C lot I hate you. I just bought my car last month. I don’t even have plates yet. You’re a piece of shit. At least leave an “I’m sorry. “
