So I’ve been admitted for the fall 2025 term, I’ve always had my mind set on marine biology but recently I’ve been taking some interest in oceanography. I was hoping you guys could tell me the differences between the two majors and which one would be a better choice?

Title says it all, bonus points if its included in the BIO specific DPD classes

If anyone is missing a window screen, it’s outside of Weatherford lmao

Yo like I got literally no friends to go with me anywhere, I got no house parties I can go to, and I feel like going to a bar alone is kinda sad. What the fuck do I do. No way I’m fukin staying inside on Halloweekend.

Anyone in engr241 seems like there’s not a lot of help available for this course.

So I accidentally left my shower caddy in the shower the other day, I found it but my shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were stolen but the caddy was left. Where on campus can I buy more of the aforementioned. Please tell me

I only just started going here, but I’m over 21. What are the bars?

I’ve tried going to the bars downtown before (saturday night, like 9-12), but things always seemed relaxed and slow. I’m not looking to go clubbing, but I’d like to feel like I’m in college, you know?

Which bars should I be going to, and when? How do the campus-adjacent bars compare with downtown? What about for this upcoming halloween? Where can I park downtown?

Thanks

hi all,

I am looking to enroll in the e-campus/online Anthropology program - Archaeology Option as a second bachelors degree student, and would love to know of others thoughts and experiences with this program. Tips for this program, what to expect, how the courses are structured, etc.

Thanks!

Hi! Can I take CH 231 without prior chemistry experience in high school? I placed into calc on the Aleks test, and I brought in Math 111, so I technically fulfill those pre-requisites. I know CH 121 exists, but that doesn’t fulfill degree requirement (I’m getting Bachelor of Science).

I’m just wondering about others experiences in that class, and if you feel prior knowledge is needed beforehand.

I had to sit in the back of a lecture today to charge my laptop and I genuinely couldn’t read anything on the board, so it seems I very much need to get glasses. Is there any place on campus that I can get my eyes checked? I have Oregon Health Plan so if there’s any place outside of Campus that takes it I am all ears.

I’m a high schooler from PA and I just got into OSU and that’s where I’m going next year. I toured the campus over the summer during graduation and really liked it. The biggest thing I’m nervous about is making friends, it is a cross country move for me and no one in my area is going to OSU. Most people in my town stay here and go to Penn state or temple. How welcoming are people on campus? And does the school do anything for incoming freshman to meet new people? I’m majoring in forestry, do the specific colleges host events for incoming students as well or no?

Hello! 24 y/o female seeking housing options for early December or beginning of January. My budget is between $500 and $700, and I would prefer either a month-to-month arrangement or 6mo lease. Ideally, I would like a place that is close to campus or within a 10 minute drive. I’m a clean and friendly Individual looking for a respectful living environment. I love to read, hike, camp, cook, and enjoy nature. Thank you for any leads you may have!

Hi everyone, how hard is it to break UHDS contract once you already moved in and want to move out during term break? And will there be like any procedures to be approved?

Hello everyone, I am a senior applying to college and I am either going to apply to Oregon State or Oregon. Just based off Google images, the Oregon State campus looks really nice, but UO doesn't look bad either. I am going into the sciences with a biology major with a genetics concentration. Is OSU or UO better for the sciences? Also, what is the weather like there? I heard its cloudy all the time and that would make me depressed lowk. Are professors helpful? Class sizes big? Parties fun? Lets hear it!

I’m strongly considering OSU, but I can’t decide which campus I want to go to. Is it possible/easy to hop between campuses for different terms? They both have my major.

I'm really have that dread applying to scholarships. I did in the past and got nothing. I'd just don't feel like writing so many essays only to receive nothing. It's like winning a lottery and I'm just not good enough or they just pick whoever. I have good grades right now but I'm stuck on the thought of applying to scholarships, knowing I'm gonna need financial assistance for study abroad in August 2025.

As an international student from South-Asia, I want to apply to OSU for the nearest term. Does OSU have a different portal to apply from or they accept Common App?

Also I would love to connect with any international students, specifically from South Asia, currently attending OSU.

Hello! I am thinking of doing a personal photography project around the OSU campus. What are some iconic spots on campus that I should take a picture of? Or some of your favorite places?

Edit: Thank you for the locations! While I am free on the weekends and if it is a nice day, I’ll be going to some of the these locations.

Good at badminton and want to play with different people from time to time. Is there any badminton group or club to join? Also want to know where I can get badminton racket.

Hi, im transferring to OSU either in the spring or next fall. Any advice before I get there?

I fw their sound

Does anyone have any tips for studying material in BI 221? I consider myself pretty diligent-- I do the readings and take flashcards on the material before the lectures; I attend lectures, understand some things, and somehow I leave the room feeling confused. I'm interested in bio and learning about cells, but my lecture prof goes over topics so quickly which sucks because most of the questions on group study questions and practice exams are in-depth. It also doesn't help to have a group that puts no effort into learning.

I want to transfer into OSU. I am a history major but i took a math at my old school but not sure it will transfer. I HATE math and it scares me.

Any history majors out there ?

Is everyone else having this issue? I feel completely lost. I have done all of the extra credit readings and attended every single lecture and I still don't understand. No-one I have spoken to understands. As far as I remember, none of this was covered to the depth that they're expecting. Is this how the midterm is going to be?

Are people dressing up in Halloween costumes for it, or not?,

Kinda just wanna know so I don't feel like I'm standing out

Hey beavers!

I’m a graduating senior undergrad looking to join your school for my coastal engineering masters next year.

I’m planning a quick road trip one of these days to visit the school and town, and was curious if any of y’all could advise on the feasibly of my plans.

Would you say it is possible for a non-student to request a meeting with any faculty, or are there any times it would be appropriate for someone to just pop in?

And are non-students allowed in academic buildings?

Any other insight is always appreciated :)

Thanks in advance!

Well, not the whole thing, but a good chunk surrounding the bridge and some other landmarks. One day I want to explore the whole thing!

Anyway lmk if you have any questions—I’m new here and am really trying to make some like-minded friends 🥺

I currently live in the sierra and want a studio for next year that isnt too expensive. I've heard both good and bad things about the Gem. Mostly that it's a glorified dorm like sierra. Do they tack on a lot of fees on top of the monthly rent? Is it okay to live in? Are the room sizes okay? And is the process for ESA reasonable?
