What should I know about YSU as a First Year International student?

I am an A levels graduate. My subjects were Maths, CS, Business, and English General Paper. I got accepted at YSU this march and I am looking forward to becoming a student in YSU. However, I don't know alot about YSU, the campus area, or anything about my major. I've got my Visa interview appointment this may 29 and I really do need to know everything about YSU and my major in YSU to ace my interview. Is there anything I need to know? Any specifics that might help me? I can always get more information by visiting YSU's official website and just browse anything I think might be important; nevertheless, I need someone's help to get any information I might not get in official YSU page.

Coursicle has a group chat for every class at YSU now

Hey everyone, this is Joe, one of the co-founders of Coursicle. I wanted to let everyone know that we just launched Coursicle Chat, which is basically a group chat for every class. We launched at a handful of schools last semester and the response was solid so we decided to roll it out further. It's a very new product, so would love any feedback you have!

Here's a link: https://www.coursicle.com/ysu/

Here's a screenshot of our growth since after we launched at more schools if you're curious: https://imgur.com/a/s8IhVeZ

Are you tracking YSU players in the NFL? I built a tool to make it easy.

I got tired of checking ESPN box scores one by one so I built a tool. Saves me 15 minutes a day during the season! And if you just want email updates with stats, go to Flumly, choose Youngstown State and enter the address where you want the update sent.

Would love your feedback.

YSU Graduation Rate

Hey Everyone,

So I am researching universities and possibly looking to go to YSU. I have noticed that the graduation rate is only hovering in the mid 30%-45% tier.

My question is, for everyone who attended the university, did you graduate on time or were you made to come back for an additional semester due to course unavailability for your major?

Where do YSU students hear about campus news

Hey everyone I'm curious what mediums everyone uses to hear about things that happen around campus. This doesn't have to be specifically a news outlet.

I know that you guys have The Jambar but are there anything else? Thanks.

Flex dollars for gift cards?

I have $500 left on my account so I was looking for a way to offload the money so it wouldn't all disappear in May. Do they have gift cards available at Dunkin?

YSU's Concealed Carry Policy...

Not sure if anybody uses this subreddit, but I'm going to post anyways! (: I was wondering if anybody else would be in favor of requesting changes to the carry policy after the shooter scare. I'm not sure who to even contact about this and having a supporting group of like minded individuals would be awesome. I for one, as a woman, do not feel safe on campus. Due to the long reaction time for the events back in December, combined with the fact that the doors did not lock in our room, and the overall lack of preparation that was obvious, I was left feeling vulnerable. I'm not for sitting in the room, hoping some criminal doesn't decide to choose me as a target. I also feel overall unsafe walking back to my car alone on a daily basis. Let's face it: Youngstown is not the pinnacle of a safe town to be in. I've seen some sketchy shit, even on campus, that makes me feel extremely unsafe. Though we do have a campus police force, sometime seconds mean everything. They're not always going to be in proximity. Here is my proposal: Concealed carry on campus permitted with select stipulations. 1 - Obvious state mandated permit that has to be registered with the school so they know who is carrying. 2 - A weapons safety course through the school required to ensure safety requirements are met. I feel that if you're legally aloud to carry, combined with the safety course by the school, I should see no reason to not be able to defend yourself. Criminals are going to carry regardless, they're breaking the laws to begin with. Why disarm the law abiding citizens? Gun free zones just let them know that they will not be met with opposing force immediately. I believe I read an article which included the chief of police saying that students with permits that are able to concealed carry wouldn't be a bad idea... But anyways! If anybody uses this subrettit anymore I would love some feedback. (: (Edit for spelling. Oops.)

Thoughts on a gaming and hobby store?

Would YSU and Youngstown be able to support a gaming and hobby store? Does YSU have a Dungeons and Dragons and/or Magic the Gathering Club? Where would be your preferred location for a shop?

Soon-to-be YSU Counseling Grad Student

Hey there,

I'm coming to YSU in August for grad school, and know literally no one out there. As mentioned in the title, I'll be studying counseling. I'm really into music, TV shows, exploring outside, and I'm more or less down for whatever. I've been out to the area quite a few times, but I'm not sure of what places to check out or avoid to meet people. Any advice or input is appreciated, and if you want to hang out, feel free to PM me!

Thanks!

Need some input/advice.

I'm an out of towner looking to buy a house in Youngstown. Yes, I know, Youngstown has some crummy parts. But I also think this town has some promise! I'm thinking of buying a house close to the corner of Logan ave and Lauderdale ave. I've been around that area and it seems pretty laid back to me. It also seems central in terms of getting to the college or getting downtown. Is this area fairly safe? Also- I know there's a prison near by. Would love to hear your opinions. Thanks!
