Places to see

My son and I are visiting campus next weekend. He is a vet from USAF and is 21. I’m really hoping he chooses CSU as it looks like a great school. Any vets want to weigh in on their experience coming in as an older person? Also, where should we visit while in Fort Collins besides the campus? Any good restaurant recommendations?

Math 160

Folks...how are we feeling after yesterday's exam and a mail from Hilary Freeman about our progress.

I am kind of in-between but still in good spirit about the progress so far.

Struggling with CS-162 Intro to Java

I'm at a loss for what to do. I'm doing 100% of the readings and practice (that doesn't count towards your grade but take a ton of time) and putting so much time into the course, but I'm barely pulling out a B. I'm not new to computers or computer science, but something about this course is absolutely kicking my ass. IDK if its that Zybooks is ineffective for learning or if the tests are just that hard, but it's getting hard not to get wicked discouraged about the rest of this program if this is how the intro class is going. Anyone have any advice or experience with this class? I have never made under a B on a college test and I BOMBED the very first exam of this half-semester.

How fast do Neuro/ BMS major classes fill

I am a neuroscience major and my major required getting an advising code from an in person meeting before being able to register for classes. I was not aware of this as I am a second bachelors student that just started my new degree, and the email alerting me to this went to my junk folder. My advisor cannot meet until November 4th, which is a full week after course registration opens. How screwed am I in terms of being able to register for a full load of courses before the end of the semester if I am unable to get the code until next week?

Smell on campus?

On Friday and today (Monday) there is a strong smell on the south side of campus. It smells chemical-y, almost like paint thinner or some kind of chemical solvent. Does anyone know what this is? It’s strong outside and it’s now made its way into the building where I work. Not sure if it’s safe to breath

Voters guide on where candidates stand on mental health issues is now available

Colorado office seekers routinely make their stances known on issues like the economy, taxes, energy development and gun control. But as more people struggle with mental health challenges, state candidates should let voters know how they stand on mental health policy, too.

Shout out to the athletic department for the darkest show of my life. Glad cheerleaders were stunting near darkness! That’s super safe.

book clubs??

I can’t find any book clubs on the schools list, I would be interested in joining a romance or fantasy book club if there is one. If not, is it hard to start one? would anyone want to join it?

Honors Program?

I was wondering if joining the Honors program is worth it. My gpa is higher than the required gpa for Honors but I’m not sure if this will benefit me. I’m trying to transfer and I’m thinking about my grades and outside of class work. I just want to have the highest chance of getting in to another university

Research Jobs

Hi all, wondering if anyone in this thread works at CSU in the research department, I am looking for some advice. Graduated with bachelors in Biomedical Sciences in 2022 but because of COVID didn’t have internship opportunities. Been hard to find any related job in the field and I miss being in a lab in an academic setting. I applied for two pool positions, wondering how often jobs come out and if this time of year they do hire? I also applied for a job at the Vet Hospital as a supply support in the lab. Wondering if it’s pushy to call them and ask for a status on the application? I am also wondering if there is someone specific to contact for research departments (Biomed and Immunology pools I applied to). Any advice would be helpful, and sorry if this isn’t the right thread to post on. Thank you

How useful is primary care?

I’ve been having chronic pain my elbow and both my knees since May. I have seen my primary care doctor back at home (an hour away, so I won’t be going back to see her) and she referred me to Physical therapy, and rheumatologist. Didn’t do anything beyond that. However three rheumatologist have rejected my referrals, and I just want some answers. I did PT and still do the daily exercises but It hasn’t really helped. If I were to make an appointment at the health network, do you think they could help me out, or at least give me an idea of what is causing my pain? Would they run blood work or ex rays? What have your experiences with primary care been?
