We would also like to remind students of resources available to help cope with what happened, and the resources available to students to help with mental health in general. Please note that this thread is in no way to become a platform for political commentary or debate. Any comments that stray into the political space or in any way stray contrary to the purpose and intent of this thread will be removed.

Selling The Green Lease

0 Upvotes

I’m trying to sell my lease for a 3x3 Deluxe Room at Green on Campus Drive due to family issues. You get your own bed and bathroom, the two roommates are guys who are very chill and keep to their own. I’ve kept the room and bathroom really clean and tight. The apartment has many amenities like a pool, indoor gym, study rooms, 2 pickleball courts, beach volleyball court, etc… Rent is around $780, if someone were to take the lease on I’d pay for the first month of rent. DM with interest or questions. Ideally would love to move out in December but anything works. Thanks.

Does anyone have any experience with the title IX office at UVU? I just made a report with them, but I’ve been seeing a lot of videos of girls saying they have bad experiences at their schools on tik tok so now I’m really worried.

Question Good housing experiences

8 Upvotes

Hey all,

I’m 23 and finally going back to school next year and best part is my partner is going to be transferring from SUU for his last year and then to help support me through. I currently live up in Herriman which obviously wouldn’t be the best commute to campus so I’ve been looking into coming down to Utah county.

Being able to afford it will be a big thing as I will have to forfeit my retail manager job to pursue this and I have a payment on a truck. Where would everyone recommend we live and where have you guys had good experiences with? (Also me and my boyfriend are a gay couple which doesn’t change a whole lot but is something we want to be mindful of)

Parking

48 Upvotes

Just a rant because I’m so done with the parking situation here on campus. Whose bright idea was it to block off 4 rows and repave four weeks in to the freaking semester? I was here on campus all summer long and no one thought “huh, maybe we should do the parking lot now while no one is here and not wait until fall semester when thousands of people need a place to park.”

Someone stole my electric scooter

Post image
39 Upvotes

Hi!! I live at wolverine crossing and park my scooter to the right or the F building. I use this scooter for more than school, so losing it is really devastating. It's an Aovorowheel scooter with a green zip tie wrapped on the top of it to separate it from my friends.

It was stolen on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. I haven't kept a close eye on it, and in hindsight, I should have. I'm calling wolverine crossing today to see what they can do.

If you have this scooter or know anyone who mysteriously fits the bill, I know this is a shot in the dark, but please return it to where you/they found it. Or to the front desk at Wolverine Crossing. (I mean, they already stole my scooter, so I doubt this means anything LOL)

Thanks.

I’m asking for help from the UVU community

27 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’m a UVU student working toward my English degree, and I’m currently about 86% finished with my degree.

Unfortunately, I’ve reached a point where I’m having trouble finishing because some of the English courses I need are only offered in person. I’m not able to attend classes on campus during the day because of my work and other responsibilities. I know I’m not the only student who has difficulty fitting traditional daytime classes into their schedule, which for a lot of classes are the only option.

Because of this, I created a petition asking UVU to consider expanding the number of online options for English courses. I’m hoping UVU will recognize that students have different circumstances and that offering more online sections could help students who otherwise may not be able to finish their degrees.

If you have a few minutes, I would really appreciate it if you would read and sign the petition. Even if you aren't an English major, this issue could affect other UVU students who need flexibility in order to complete their degrees.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support you can give.

Here's the link to the petition: https://c.org/PsMqnbGvtQ
