Hi guys, I’m working with the campus vote project to help create maps that accurately reflect the makeup of UW River Falls. I would love input from actual students of the campuses I am mapping. Feel free to respond to this post or direct message me if you could tell me where a majority of students reside or spend time outside of the campus itself. Any help would be appreciated.

I get that lockdown sucks extra hard when the sun is shining, but we can’t let the last two months be for nothing.

Pierce County is still seeing new cases every week—two in the last couple days—and nearby St Croix county has spiked to almost 40 in total. We’re not out of the woods yet.

Where you go isn’t my business. But at least put on a mask to show that you care about my safety, the safety of our hospital staff, and that of our most vulnerable brothers and sisters.

I work on Main Street, and yesterday’s parade of carefree, maskless revelers was an absolute embarrassment. Let’s all try to be a little better.

Me and my buddy are new to the area and looking for trout fishing along the Kinnickinnic. We have tried down by the bridge on highway f with a little luck. Anyone have any tips for us?

This is a shot in the dark as it seems this sub is pretty inactive but with Christmas coming up I wanted to get my girlfriend a gift card to go with me to a place where we can make our own pottery. I don’t want to go to a place where we just paint pottery but actually shape it ourselves. It’d be great if there would be something in the River Falls area but if you know of other places in the surrounding areas that would work as well! Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I'm looking into grad schools and UWRF is one place I'm considering. I have a cat and am potentially adopting a pit mix soon, I was wondering, is it difficult to find pit-friendly housing in the area?

Hi! I'm thinking about transferring here in the spring.. I still need to come check out the campus and area.. Are there any other spots I should check out while I'm in town?

So, long long story short, my roommate wants to skip out on me suddenly for reasons that have not become clear. (She's jumping from blaming the cost* to wanting a dog, to disliking me, to claiming I dislike her boyfriend.)

Anyways, I'm stuck in a bind. I find myself looking for a new roommate. Apartment is off Wildcat Ct (by the University horse lab farm). Its a 2 bedroom apartment that will end up costing about $420 a month. This includes internet (no cable, we don't use it) and electric (which is the varying part. current roommates insist on having heat up to 75F, which I'm more than willing to negotiate. I'm used to 71F day and 68F night). It should also decrease when two of the three fish tanks leave as well as the heated blanket one roommate uses every night.

I prefer a female roommate, but I'm getting desperate. Anyone looking or know someone who's looking? Lease ends in May.

*We've had a third roommate the last 3 months, she just graduated and is moving, thus the sudden increase in rent.

TL;DR: I have shitty roommates and need someone to take their place in Jan or Feb. Rent is $420/month. Lease ends in May.

I work at Emma's bar in River Falls, WI (about 35 minutes from St. Paul) and this Monday night I'm going to be hosting an evening of casual Street Fighter matches open to any who wants to play (provided they are 21 or older). I'll be bringing my 360, some controller pads, and two arcade sticks, but feel free and encouraged to bring your own.

Where: Emma's Bar, 222 South Main Street, River Falls, Wisconsin 54022

When: Monday, January 16th. 9pm until 1:30am.

What: Street Fighter + drinks. Drink and plink, don't drink and drive.

Will the UW-River Falls Psychology Department have a case study to see if a shower or a bath make people happiest? Feel free to comment.

How many of you would volunteer to be in the study?

How long would the study last, a day, a week, a month, a year?

Plus feel free to share what makes you happiest.

I vote bath because I love the bubbles.
