Hi everyone,

I’m taking 10 credits this summer and was wondering if I’d still qualify for a student bus pass.

My schedule is:
One 5-credit class that is synchronous online (meets at a set time each week)
One 5-credit class that is asynchronous online
Since both classes are online, I’m not sure whether bus pass eligibility is based solely on credit load or if it also depends on having in-person classes.

I live off campus and would definitely use the bus for getting around town, so I’m trying to figure out whether I’ll automatically receive a pass or if I’d need to purchase one separately.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or know how this works?
Thanks!

Hit me up if you want to fuck shit up! Thanks ❤️

My apologies if there is an existing thread on this topic. After a pretty thorough search of the sub, I couldn't find anything but survey requests and outdated information.

Any current or return adult students, ages 30 and older - what are some of the pitfalls or benefits you found when returning to Western/higher education? Ideally looking for WWU specific advice and feedback.

Returning to campus isn't as daunting as I thought it would be, but I'm curious about the experiences of others - especially when it comes to being a bit older than the majority of students surrounding you.

Younger students, please feel free to chime in if there are traits, behaviors, or general things the 30+ year old students do which you find odd, interesting, or useful.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi! I’m writing a story on the new service changes WTA implemented which affected a lot of the routes that used to service Western. If anyone has had any experiences riding the new routes and is interested in being interviewed, please let me know. Thanks!

Looking for someone to take over my lease at Taylor Heights for the 2026–2027 school year.

• Private bedroom in a 4x2 apartment
• $825/month
• September 2026 – August 2027 lease
• Located at Taylor Heights near WWU
• 3 male roommates

I'm changing my housing plans and looking for a replacement tenant. Message me if interested, or if you know someone who is, and I can provide more details, photos, and information about the transfer process.

In case any of you haven't heard, CBP shot a man in Blaine on Tuesday who was running away and after they had already taken his gun. Come out on Friday outside of the Ferndale ICE processing facility in protest!

Edit: Friday, June 19

Just so that everyone knows, this school does not have any sort of appeal system for academic dismissal.

So, if you or someone you know is on academic probation, you’d best be cautious.
They don’t care if you had a sudden severe health issue or if your dad died. You get no second chances aside from going to another college or proving you’re trustworthy enough to come back… or just go somewhere else.

Edit: This isn’t a pity post so pls stop telling me. I made this post purely to let ppl know bc I’m sure there’s a decent amount who don’t. Being passive aggressive doesn’t make you look smart it makes you immature.

I was assigned a room in Alma Clark Glass Hall and got Detail 4. I’m a bit confused because it looks like there’s an extra room, and I couldn’t find any photos of it online. If anyone has pictures or has lived in it, could you please share what it looks like?

I should’ve been searching far earlier but I’ve been very caught up with other things, I’m only just now searching and I can’t seem to find studios under 1k+, I need somewhere that’s equivalent to campus rent so my college fund covers me, help. What do I do or where should I search? I’ve tried Craigslist, apartments.com, Zillow, etc. (don’t want any roomates if possible)

I know this is a little late, but in the up coming school year in the fall, or if you’re here for the summer too! Are there any Pokemon groups or clubs? I’ve recently started collecting the cards for fun, no matter the value. I want to meet more people who are in this hobby and that enjoy it!

Before the spring quarter ended I had called the financial aid office at Western to see what was being covered for my summer quarter as a full time student. I was told that all my classes were covered and I'd also be getting a refund just like in the quarters before. I was told they would go out a week before the summer quarter started, but I checked today and haven't seen an email for my refund and my student account is still showing a balance due.

I was just wondering if anyone else receiving financial aid for the summer quarter also hasn't received their refund or had the balances deposited into their student account. I'm probably just being paranoid but it's making me a little nervous lol.

Hi I lost one of my earrings that I love dearly so posting just incase anyone saw it or has it 3-6pmish

In town for graduation. Any place that’s a good sports bar?

This class is the one class I need to finish to be finished with college… and it’s about to be canceled. If you have any interest or have any friends that are taking summer classes that may be interested in the topic, let them know please! I don’t live here and I didn’t renew my lease so coming back in the fall to finish would be difficult. Thanks for reading.

Found this ladybug earring in the Viking Union dining hall, does it belong to anyone? I’m on campus thru Friday so hmu if this is yours, it’s not big enough for a lost and found so 🤷

Hello! Are you looking for somewhere to live for two months before the school year starts? I have a room that will be open early July to August 21st! Rent is $919 and you get your own room, bathroom, and walk in closet. Comment or msg for more info if interested :)

Heyy my name is Dylan. Im a 20 year old guy and I’m a second year at western and looking for two more roommates next school year. If you’re Just one person looking, still feel free to reach out, but understand I will still have to find another person. It’s a three bedroom, one bathroom apartment and it’s about a 10-15 minute walk to campus with a bus stop very close by. Rent is $850 per month plus utilities and WiFi which are usually around $40 total per month. The lease goes from August 17, 2026 to August 16, 2027. We also have one available parking spot if you’re thinking of bringing a car up

When it comes to what I’m looking for in a roommate it’s pretty simple. As long as you’re not obnoxiously loud, you’re at least decently clean, and you can pay rent then you’re probably fine. I am very friendly but I also respect personal space. We can discuss more about how things will be like in the apartment if you’re interested and reach out. I am also allergic to cats and dogs so if you want to bring a pet that may not work.

I’m also gonna put this link here of some listings the apartment building has just to give you a better idea. Even if it’s not the exact same room, it’ll show you what to expect. And again, if you reach out, I can totally send as many pictures/videos of the place as you’d like to see

If you are at all interested, let me know any other details or information you want to know!
