Does anyone have a crowbar I can borrow?

I know this sounds kind of weird, but I really need a crowbar for something, just for a few hours. I can even pay you if you want. Please dm me here or in discord (my tag is in my profile)

Library jobs

Hi I (26 F) recently graduated from Rutgers in the MLIS program. I am interested in looking for university library jobs. What’s the best way to keep an eye on library jobs at Clark?

How do I remove the shelf on my desk

When I tried to set my computer's monitor up on my dorm room desk, the stand part of it was unfortunately about ¾ of an inch too high, and the shelf part of the desk prevents my monitor from moving back any further. As such, my desk space is limited and it feels very cramped. I've heard that people have disassembled the shelf part in order to create more space. How does one go about this? I think I need an Allen wrench but I don't know what else is required. Is there anything beyond just unscrewing the screw on the side?

Presidential Scholarship Stats

Can anyone who’s received the Presidential Scholarship share their stats? Clark doesn’t seem to provide specifics on their website and I need to know if it’s worth my time to get my hopes up 😭

Clark Vibe

I have been in Worcester for more than 3 years now, and never been once on Clark Campus. I visited today for first time. It seemed pretty cool to see lot of people outside chatting, walking, chilling etc. looks like a really cool campus :)

Dana Hall double Playstation setup?

Hi - how have people set up Playstations/gaming stations in a Dana Hall double? Doesn't look like there is much room for a stand. Not a suite.

What’s the vibe?

So, for context, I am a queer and pretty alt/grunge/emo/goth person. Clark looks really awesome, but I’m curious about how the people are, and how much of a queer and specifically alt vibe on campus!

Traditional double confusion

(first year student) In discussion with highschool friends and they were surprised that my roommate is the opposite gender of I, one even saying that a faculty member they know says this is abnormal. Are they correct that this is a rare occurrence or no?

When is housing for next year official?

Hey guys, my roommate for next year ended up transferring so right now I am alone in a double (in a suite). I took the survey they sent out to people in the same boat and I answered that I am looking for my own roommate and would prefer they don’t randomly assign someone to my room. I’m not looking too hard because I would prefer a single so I’m wondering, what are the chances that I will actually get one? And when will I know if they will or won’t assign somebody? Any help is much appreciated thank you.

Merit scholarship as a transfer

As a transfer students when is the best time to apply? I know you have to have at least 12 credit hours but I only took 9 for my summer semester and I won’t have the rest until the end of the fall semester. I know they do aid based on the timeline of applications along with GPA so transfer students who got merit scholarships when did you apply?

Question about Dodd Hall from a trans woman

I am Class of 2028, trying to decide on housing. Just looking for the general vibe, I know Clark says a lot of queer residents live there, but is that the case? I wouldn't want to make anyone uncomfortable.

Discord for grad students?

I’m an incoming interactive media mfa student and I’m trying to meet people before I get on campus in August, does anyone know if there’s any grad discord servers, either general or for my degree, that I could join?

I found the IDGA Clark server, but it’s more of a club and has alumni and WPI students in it as well. Once I get my email set up in the next few days I plan to join the Clark U official school discord (I need an email for it) and hopefully get forwarded to some more servers through that.

Thanks in advance!

Need advice: Clark University vs SCAD for Interactive Media.

I'm currently admitted to both Clark University and SCAD for their Master's programs in Interactive Media. I'm having a difficult time deciding which one to attend, and I'd really appreciate insights from anyone familiar with these programs or the schools themselves.

Could those with experience at Clark or SCAD share their thoughts on the quality of the Interactive Media programs, faculty, facilities, career prospects after graduation, campus life, and anything else that may help me make an informed decision? I'd value any advice from the community to help me choose the best path forward for my graduate studies in this field. Thank you in advance for your guidance!

Good Riddance to Mary Jane Rein

I think I speak for many many students here that fragile white supremacism is NOT welcome on campus.

Question about first-year housing application

I'm a parent of a neurodivergent student who has committed to the Clark Class of '28. This will be his first time staying with anyone who isn't family, but we don't think trying for a single will be best for him in the long run (he really needs social experience) so I'm trying to help him start thinking in advance about what he wants/doesn't want in a roommate. Can any current students share what kind of questions are on the housing application? Anything in particular that he should be considering/planning to write down? Thanks in advance!

Is the Summer Game Program worth it?

I’m a high school student interested in game design, and I noticed Clark has a residential game design program over the summer. Is it worth the price ($4,200)? It’s not much of an issue, I just don’t know if there’s something else that would be better. I like the fact that it’s for game design since it’s what I’m specifically interested in, but I can’t decide. Any pointers appreciated!!!

What are the showers like?

Hello all, I have a little anxiety surrounding the shower situation at Clark University. Are they often full? Is there an adequate amount of privacy? Would it be an issue to have a long shower (30 mins)?
