Will the real slim shady PLEASE stand up?

Will the real slim shady PLEASE stand up?!

I’m seeking more information about the character who drives around the village blasting the same three Eminem songs (occasionally spices it up with a Lauryn hill song). I’ve been hearing this guy drive past my work at least three times a day for MONTHS!

Sometimes he times it so that he returns to Main Street playing the slim shady song “guess who’s back” which I find gets funnier and funnier each time he returns. It’s one of those gags that surpasses being annoying and moves into a hilarious continuity of being slim shady-rolled.

I’m not mad or upset about his presence. I am simply curious about the nature of his relationship to the town. What are his motivations? Why is he constantly driving through the center of town? Would he welcome the nickname “Stan” or reject it?

If you have more information- please come forward.

Speech Therapy Clinic

Hello everyone. I am not a student or alumus, but I did attend a 6-week intensive speech therapy clinic at SUNY Geneseo, and several trips afterwards. As an adult I have reflected on that experience and how much it influenced my life. Does anyone know if there's a way to contact fellow folks who went through the program?

Torta

I’m an alumni, but just wondering if Geneseo still has the torta at the world kitchen in the Union. It was so good don’t think I’ll find the same anywhere else, unfortunately. Would love to visit when they have it if it’s still around!

89.7 HS GPA, am I cooked?

I’m a HS Senior looking into attending Geneseo next fall.

My GPA is a 89.7, and I’m taking the SAT later this fall.

Would the 89.7 be good enough? Or what SAT score would I need to get into the school?

I would appreciate some insight, thank you.

ATTN: Looking for Moderators!

Hi all! My name is Gene, and I've served as the head moderator of r/geneseo since late 2020 when I started at SUNY Geneseo. Since then, we've welcomed over 200 new users who've posed questions and had answers about subjects ranging from admissions and campus living to restaurants and important discussions about the college. Though this online community is small, it's great to see it being used as an open forum regarding all things SUNY Geneseo.

Seeing as I’ve graduated this past spring, I figured I'd start the search for a few new moderators. As an alumnus, I believe I have a responsibility to pass the moderation torch onto current or incoming students.

Considering the size of our community, there are only three prerequisites that I ask of all

  1. Be an incoming or current student at SUNY Geneseo
  2. Understand the basics of subreddit moderation (i.e., mod tools, which you can learn to use as a mod)
  3. Recognize the importance of engaging with the community when necessary (e.g., responding to reports, subreddit questions, etc.)

In all honesty, the moderator and head moderator positions alike require little time for subreddit upkeep. As long as you are able to maintain the subreddit as a forum as it is now and are mindful of reports and questions, there shouldn't be any issue.

Application Process

  1. Send your application by sending us a message here (indicate you're applying for the position by choosing 'Other' and typing in your own subject)
  2. Provide the following information: (a) school email; (b) class year (i.e., the year you’re graduating)
  3. Share a bit about yourself (only inasmuch as you feel comfortable!)
  4. Explain why you'd like to be the role you're applying for (or why you think you're a good fit)
  5. Include any other information you think is relevant

Thanks for reading, everyone! I look forward to seeing your applications. Again, please apply if you'd like. More hands on deck are appreciated, and the job really isn't too involved.

What's the building on campus that has "NORMAL" written above the entrance?

Hey, I went to Geneseo like a million years ago and I recall there was an old building on campus (maybe Doty Hall?) that always gave me a chuckle because the word "NORMAL" was inscribed on the lintel above the main entrance (probably a relic from the old Normal school or something).

Does anyone know which hall it was, and do you have a picture? Just taking a walk down memory lane, thanks!

What's your honest opinion on Geneseo? And is there any advice you'd give to someone interested in applying?

I'm a high schooler who's interested in applying to Geneseo this year, and wanted the firsthand opinions of students who are currently attending: the best/worst parts, any advice you could give, any experiences that you think are worth sharing, etc.

For a bit of context on myself, I intend to major in biology, aiming to become a medical scientist or an epidemiologist once I graduate, and I am interested in minoring in Spanish and/or English (or something else related to literature and writing).

I'm particularly curious about Geneseo's science programs, experiences with staff members and professors, and general experiences living on campus. Any information is helpful and greatly appreciated!

Requirements to get in

I am planning on applying to this school, however I don’t know if I meet the requirements given the GPA recommendation.

I have as follows- 3.4 unweighted GPA (3.8 weighted) 4s and 5s on 4 AP exams Probably around a 1400 on the SAT (I take it next month)
Seal of biliteracy

Unfortunately I do not have much in the way of extra curricular, but I can try to improve that (I am entering senior year in September). Do I have a decent chance of getting in? How can I improve these chances? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Difference between Nature Walk and Great Outdoors clubs?

Title. I’ve been looking through the clubs and thought the goals and description of each club are extremely similar. Was wondering if anyone knew why they’re seperate?

unsettling village cat sighting

Hey! So i’m a local who works a lot with stray cats in the area. Last night I saw a very strange animal and was wondering if anyone else had seen it too? while I was feeding a few of the strays they spotted something and started getting really stressed and stopped eating. Their hair stood up and a couple of them even started panting! i was worried a coyote made its way into the sanctuary but when I tried to see what they were looking at i only saw another cat in the bushes. It looked black and fuzzy so I couldn’t make it out real well at first. I figured maybe they were just being territorial and looked closer. The poor baby had extra legs! i tried to coax it closer but i swear to god it made a whistling sound at me and ran away. i wasn’t able to catch it but i’m worried this is a stray that needs help!! has anyone else seen it or knows if it has a home? the whole experience seems so surreal now. I fear this will be a #strangesummer

Class of '28 Server

I know there's already a server for the whole school but it's really disorganized and inactive. I was talking to some other incoming students and we agreed that having a server based around the incoming students to meet eachother would be a good idea. And, most schools already have a class of 2028 server for the incoming class for students to meet eachother, so I thought it would be a good idea to make one for SUNY Geneseo's upcoming class.
There is a facebook page but you can only join if you're subscribed to the account which costs money, which is really annoying. And alot of students are having trouble messaging the class of '28 instagram page.
Join if you're in class of '28: https://discord.gg/83WwPtAUYQ
Even if you're not class of '28, it would be great if you could join to answer questions students have!

Get to know classmates

Hi, i was accepted and am probably gonna commit soon. I was wondering if there is an active discord server or Instagram group or anything similar to get to know kids at Geneseo?

If there isn't, if someone were to make it would anyone join a student run server for the incoming first years with introductions to get to know one another and current students/upperclassmen to answer questions or concerns that they have? I know there technically is already a SUNY Geneseo discord but when I joined it was extremely inactive and terribly moderated.

SUNY Geneseo vs SUNY Binghamton for Finance

Hi My son got acceptance from all SUNY schools. Although he picked Binghamton University as a top choice, they don't offer Major in finance (Only Finance concentration with major in Business). He is interested in majoring in finance...only SUNY school that offers Major in Finance is SUNY Geneseo.

Checking to see if anyone has any insights into how good Finance Major at SUNY Geneseo is and is it really worth going there instead of Binghamton

SUNY Geneseo v. SUNY Buffalo

I need to decide where to go as a transfer for the fall 2024 semester. I’m an accounting major and by May will hopefully have my Associates from community college. I originally went to SUNY Albany my freshman year but hated it and moved back home. I want to live off campus (so it’ll be cheaper) so somewhere with a good social scene would be great, so it can be easier to meet people. I’m not so worried about the academic aspect as both are good schools. If anyone has any advice or insight that would be great!

Application Question

I applied as a bio major for regular decision but i feel like because of the major i may have a less likely chance. Does anyone know if Geneseo still considers you for a different major if you dont get accepted into your preferred major?
