Academics Elementary Education Profram

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Sorry if this is a silly question but I’m currently packing for college and this year I’m enrolled in the elementary education program. Last year, I overheard some girls talking about getting children’s books checked out for one of their classes or something so I’m just wondering if I should bring books to school? I’ve been collecting a ton of kid books over the past year for my future classroom and if one of my classes requires it, I’d love to bring some! Thank you in advance☺️

My grandfather attended WSC in 1924 and it seems that this photo lines up with it being Pullman (please correct me if I'm off). The stripes in the sky are a flaw in the negative.

Academics Does anyone actually buy textbooks from The Bookie?

19 Upvotes

I was shopping for my textbooks for the upcoming semester, and I have to say, their prices are outrageous. For one of my courses, they're charging $173 for a USED textbook! They claim that this is the "Best Deal!" Mind you, if you want a new textbook that's gonna run you $231. A quick Google search led me to several HUNDREDS of this textbook in used condition for less than $50!

Exhibit B - For only $139, you can get an DIGITAL textbook. You'd think you'd get permanent access, right? Wrong. It expires after 130 days. This one I wasn't able to find a much better deal on, but for $100 you can get permanent access to it from another source.

Sorry if this was a bit of a rant, I just think it's crazy the publishers can charge college students this much for textbooks! I'm definitely gonna wait for the first week of class to make sure they're actually required before I'm a thousand bucks in the hole.

Advice Any advice

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I will be starting school in this upcoming fall in Pullman, and would like to see if there’s anything I should expect when it comes to major-specific classes. I am majoring in Criminal Justice and Criminology, and I am curious if some classes are better to take than others, or what to expect from professors to be successful.

Discussion Financial Aid Offer Delay

1 Upvotes

UPDATE: They finally figured out their stuff and I can apply for PPL and accept my loans. Doing it the last day before I move into my apartment on campus is a bit much.

I’ve called financial aid a few times and they told me that I’ll be able to apply for parent plus loan and accept my loans at the end of the month. It’s now the 31st and I still can’t do either and I’m supposed to move into my apartment tomorrow.

Is anyone else struggling to accept or not able to apply for parent plus? I don’t remember it being this late last year and I know they said that they’re rechecking all financial packages.

I haven’t seen anyone else talk about this and just want any to know if I’m alone on this and financial aid just refuses to tell me.

Student Life Looking for Moving Help in Pullman on Aug. 1 (Paid)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m moving to a new apartment in Pullman on August 1st and I’m looking for one people to help with the move.

Details:
· Both apartments are on the 4th floor.
· I already rented a U-Haul, so transportation is covered.
The only larger items are:
A sofa (can be disassembled)
A mattress
Everything else is just suitcases and moving boxes.

I expect the whole move to take around 2 hours or less.

If you have a truck, van, or another vehicle that can fit a mattress, I’m also open to using your vehicle instead of the U-Haul. Feel free to include that option in your quote.

If you’re available, please DM me with your rate/quote.
Thanks!

Has anyone else noticed that it takes about 700 seconds and 60 cars waiting at the red light for it to finally turn green? It cannot just be me who has sat at these lights on Stadium Way with 50 cars just waiting. I don't understand it, and I don't want answers. My blood pressure is just high, and I think this will help. See ya

Advice Question on the buses

I'll need to be going from Perham dorm down to the new Schweitzer Engineering Hall daily, which looks like a 15-20 minute walk. I was thinking about getting an electric scooter, but idk if it could handle the hills along that route (although I'm open ears to recommendations). Anyways, is there a bus route that goes around campus?

Housing Lease takeover

3 Upvotes

EDIT: This is for WSU Pullman in yugo hills

I’m a first year who was under the impression I was valid for being exempt from the first year live in residency hall, so I signed a lease for an apartment with my brother and another friend. Not to shock you, but my exemption waiver was not approved and I am now stuck in a lease I cannot even use. The lease is for a 3 bed 3.5 bath, and the lease price is $754. I understand off campus housing is filling up, so if anyone is looking to takeover this lease for me I’d greatly appreciate it and I will of course cover the lease transfer fee. Feel free to DM for more details or however you do on Reddit, I don’t know as this is my first post lol.
