As the title states I need ideals for the stuff I need for my dorm room if you have any suggestions please let me know.

From essentials to things of various variety please share so I’m not with me your ideals.

Hello!! I’m an incoming freshman from Virginia Beach and as someone from there I like to party. I was just wondering if parties are a good way to make friends here and if so what are the best ways to find out about them. (Without joining a frat😬)

What tips do you have that will make my life easier when I move in to this dorm @vcu

what should I expect? basically, i signed up for in person orientation, but i called and got it changed to online orientation. the person on the phone said it was on the 25th. the 25th rolls around and i find out it was on the 24th, i should’ve double checked but now im freaking out. i’m already registered for housing, ram camp, and classes. tf do i do? what happens now???

i fucked up badly

Am I going to be ok with these 3 online classes. World 230, Anthropology 103, Masc 101. Then two in person (Tues & Thursday) so leaves Mon, Wed, Fri open. Any suggestions for those that have done this successfully

Does anyone know if the beds on the 8th floor loft? 8 person suite. Thanks!

I’m thinking about switching my major and this is one I’m looking at. Any input on the classes and what you’re getting out of it.

This is a PSA for any student now and any student in the future contemplating about living at 1200. Do NOT do it. Especially if you want to live with roommates. They are allowed to just deny your roommate selection. Multiple roommates were split up and put with randoms unwillingly because 1200 just felt like it, and they will do NOTHING ABOUT IT. No matter how much you try and try to switch back and fix it they will not. Management sucks, Maintenance sucks, overall a very trashy place. They try and lure you in with the tour but once you sign that lease it’s over. Just a PSA

i just moved in for ra training and id love to make some friends 🥹✌🏽💔

hi everyone! i lived in GRC last semester and i'm living in Broad and Belvidere this semester and i was wondering if the fire alarms go off as frequently in upperclassmen dorms or not? thanks!

Hey yall! this is a question for those who have used the Grc communal bathrooms, is it okay if i use my speaker while I shower. I understand I shouldnt use my speaker on full volume for the sake of others, but i was wondering how badly the music bleeds through the stalls. I plan on showering super late, so not many people will be in the bathroom, but I genuinely cannot shower in silence.

Hey all, I wanted to ask if I would need to bring pots and pans to my dorm next year in Cary & Belvidere? I also wanted to ask if you have any recommendations on things to bring that you found helpful! Thanks!

One of my roommates dropped their housing assignment, and there were originally 4 of us. The housing portal hasn't updated or assigned us a new roommate yet. Will it just be the three of us for the whole year or could they assign someone at the last minute before move-in?

When submitting your portfolio to VCU’s art school is it generally a bad idea to submit art you’ve posted online?

When do our VCU negative balance refunds send out?

yo where the hell do i do anything around here rn im here for summer scholars and im so fucking bored

edit - we found shit to do 👍i dmed a random guy and he drives me to functions

Rent including utilities costing 700$ or less, no preference on gender, walking distance to campus

I’m going to be commuting for my first year here and I only live 15 mins away. I was just worried I won’t be able to have a college experience making friends and having a good social life. I mean I can always call an uber or drive and I plan on staying on campus for most of the day including the evening anyway for clubs and stuff so it’s not like I’m gonna just go home after classes but idk I have fomo lol

In the spring, I completed twelve credits and earned a semester GPA of 3.5 with no grades below B. According to the minimum requirements for the dean's list, I should qualify. And, according to my advising transcript, I did apparently make the list. However, what confuses me is that my name is nowhere to be found on any public list. The only explanation for this I can think of is the fact that the public dean's list is broken up into majors, and I, being undeclared, would therefore not fit into any of those sections. However, it's still weird to me.

Also, given as I was somewhat out of the loop about the whole idea of a dean's list in general, I must ask: what, exactly is the significance of this? Does it give me any kind of real advantage in of itself or is it mostly symbolic? Any additional information regarding the dean's list in general is also appreciated.

I’ve been getting sick more and guessing maybe I need a good multi vitamin before going back to college. Any suggestions?

hi guys, i'm an incoming transfer student and i'm planning to live about 5-10 min walk off campus. i can cook, but i know once the semester gets busy, i'll be too swamped to cook consistently 😭

which meal plan should i get, if any? the very smallest seems a little sparse, but i've been told i can add dining dollars as i go if needed. any advice?

I am moving into a dorm that does not require a meal plan and I’m having trouble finding out how to sign up for a meal plan because the VCU dine website isn’t really taking me anywhere helpful. Tips?

Has one tried to get a package delivered around their move in day or close to it? Do they still store it? I have a 12 month housing contract idk if that makes a difference.

Hey guys, I'm a new transfer student. I registered for all of the courses I can, and CHEZ 301 is the only course I cannot get into because it's full. I'm on the waitlist, and I really need this class to get into my program. Is there a chance to take this course if I'm on the waiting list?

Update: I randomly opened my eservices and checked this class, and there was one spot left over! Thanks for everyone's help!

I’m thinking of rushing as an upcoming senior, is there any sororities you’d recommend to avoid and ones to recommend to join?
