General Was hit by motorcycle recently near Breslin. Looking to see if anyone knows anything.

54 Upvotes

Hi! I hope you might not recognize the scenario but if you do, I was riding my skateboard and apparently was hit by a motorcycle. I suffered a concussion and was unconscious for 30 minutes so I don’t remember anything of the event.

If anyone does know what happened please let me know! It’s been bugging me endlessly, especially when I’m not sure if I’m at fault.

General Trees cut down in front of Biomedical and Physical Sciences Building

Well what can I say. Mourning for the loss of the trees that gave us a lot of shades while waiting for bus 25/32/33 during burning sunny days. It's so painful to see so many trees at MSU being cut down this year.

General Questions about the GRE (from a Canadian 😯)

Post image
11 Upvotes

I know this isn’t specifically about MSU, but I’m applying to MSU for my masters, and I have to take the GRE as part of the application process (and being from Canada I haven’t had to take one of these general tests since the literacy test in like, grade 10?!)

I’ve taken some practice tests and I’ve been consistently EXTREMELY humbled by the verbal portion of the test, especially the questions where I have to fill in the blanks with the proper words.

As my test day approaches (online), I guess I just wanted to ask how you all studied for the verbal portion, because I’m not sure how to broaden my vocabulary when I don’t know what words they are going to use (and there are just way too many to choose from LOL).

Or as another follow up question, how much did your GRE scores matter when applying to MSU?

Thank you for the help and I’m so excited and nervous to apply (I hope I get in ahhhh)!!

General Can I park in visitor parking centers as a student?

1 Upvotes

I’m about to get a car up here and I’m looking for permits… looks like there’s only one available (lot 89 I think). This is super far from my dorm so I’m wondering if I will get penalized for parking overnight in certain places (Ramp 3 to be specific). My bf parks there every weekend and is just fine, so I’m curious if the same applies to weekdays.

Any additional info about parking/car registration etc would be great too!

Housing Does anyone know if there are residence apartments open?

1 Upvotes

This may be a long shot but I’m looking to move into an apartment or any sort of living situation with a kitchen. I have a lot of food sensitivities to the dining halls around me and would prefer to cook my own meals. (Plus more issues with dorming/my roomie but that’s the main one). Im also okay with roommates but would obviously prefer a single. I submitted an application to move out of my dorm and got put on a waitlist. (Just for reference I’m a sophomore + transfer student, and would prefer something in East neighborhood by my classes).

I mainly just wanted to ask you guys if you know anything about moving mid-semester… does anyone know if these apartments are even available, how long is the waitlist, what are my chances of being able to move asap, etc. Also, if anyone has any info about possible refunds for my meal plan if I cancel it that would be greatly appreciated!

General Can bikers please be more careful?

72 Upvotes

Is it really that hard to stay on the bike lanes? ESP on the walkway by the river. There are literally bike lanes directly next to the sidewalk. Bikers do not need to go barreling through a group of people walking on the sidewalk. I literally saw someone get hit by someone on a bike on my way to class because a lot of bikers seem to have forgotten that other people exist on the sidewalks and have a chronic inability to stay on bike lanes.

Same goes for people with electric scooters or those electric bikes. Just because you're going faster doesn't mean you have to be a complete dick about it.

Just pay attention to your surroundings? It's literally not that hard?

Scheduling/classes offering tutoring in CSE classes (maybe ME classes if you are interested)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, just putting this out here just in case anyone is interested.

I am a graduate student with a BS in mechanical engineering undergrad, with minor in CS and Linguistics.

I am the most comfortable with tutoring CSE 231 and CSE 232, although the class has changed since I took the class, ie, the exams have changed formats, so please be patient with me. I am the best at working on projects and explaining code, but I can also help with exams as well. I don't know how much CSE 260 the class has changed, I took it with Dr. Kulkarni, and did well in that class, so you may also inquire about that.

If you would like mechanical engineering tutoring, you can dm me about a specific class, and I can see if I would be able to help. Although there is an ME learning center in the EB with people that can help with ME classes for free, so you can try that first too.

This would be my first time trying to tutor people on the side, so I would like to offer a free 30 minutes and you can see if I'm good at tutoring or not. We can negotiate a rate if you are interested in more lessons.

Freshman Questions Why Does MSU give 3 credits for a 1 on the AP CSP exam

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I am thinking of going here next fall. As Freshman my friend Joey-who was a senior-wanted to go to MSU and me and him were both in AP CSP, but he was trash at it lmfao. But he found out that even if he got a 1 on the AP exam he would still get 3 credits. Do any of you know why this is?

***Note he got a 2 but still got credit in the end.

Hi everyone; I was thinking it might be a good idea to get a skateboard to make some of the walks to class I normally take go a bit faster;

are there any good places near MSU to buy a skateboard/beginner skateboard equipment? Or would it be best to buy it online and if so, any recommendations? Thanks!

General I’m so sick of msu getting rid of green space

219 Upvotes

MSU has gotten rid of so much green space on campus in the past few years and I’m sick of it. First it was the area by south neighborhood where sparticipation used to be held and people hung out on a regular basis. Then it was part of center campus for the new multicultural center and now they’re going to build a new building in the space behind the biomedical physical science building which has one of the main pathways of the area. One of the major selling points of msu for a lot of people was the campus and the amount of area that wasn’t buildings where people can hang out and do homework but now it’s hard to find an area where there isn’t construction and it’s not packed.

Edit: yes I am well aware that msu is a business and needs to grow. I know that they are replacing old buildings and that this is important for the future but these are areas that I used. I had picnics in the cherry lane field with friends, I played volleyball where the multicultural center now is. I studied physics where they’re putting in the ecology building. I’m not making this post because I don’t understand that msu is making progress forward. I made this post because I enjoyed these spaces and I wish that I was still able to. I know that these new buildings are places that future students can enjoy and that the areas I’ve mentioned used to be buildings themselves. That doesn’t stop me from being disappointed when the areas that I spent time are now construction zones.
