Get the hell inside.

I’m a community college transfer with junior standing and I’m applying to Broad this semester. I’m looking for clubs to get involved in that could help strengthen my Experiential Profile before the application is due at the end of October. I’m planning to join the Accounting Student Association, but at Sparticipation I was told they only meet about four times a semester and you need to attend four meetings/events to be considered an active member. Because of the timing, I probably won’t be able to list myself as an active member before I apply. Does anyone have recommendations for clubs that meet more frequently (weekly or every other week), are open to non-Broad students, and have little to no membership fees?
I’m especially interested in business/accounting clubs, but I’m completely open to non-business clubs too if they would provide good experience or be helpful to include on my Broad Experiential Profile/application.

What happened?

The only way to get hot food and it’s not even working.

I’ve been having a terrible week. Probably one of the worst weeks of my life. My bf broke up with me because he’s scared we won’t make it through college and I have no friends, he was the one I relied on to talk to to make it through the day and now I can’t even go 15 minutes without bursting into tears. I can’t listen to music, I can’t go on social media, watch shows or do any of my hobbies because they all remind me of him. I’ve done all my homework already, there’s not much to do in welcome week. I call my mom 3 times a day. Text my friends from home as a distraction. But I just want to go home and call it quits, I can’t do this alone

“The MSU Department of Police and Public Safety (DPPS) is providing an update on the temporary closure of Berkey Hall on September 3, 2026. DPPS has determined there is no threat to Berkey Hall or the MSU campus.
On September 2, 2026, in the late afternoon, DPPS was made aware of a reported threat that was made by an individual and included information about a program that is located inside of Berkey Hall. The information came from a medical professional to fulfill “Duty to Warn” obligations under Michigan law (MCL 330.1946). The information was therefore second-hand and required further investigation.
The decision was made to temporarily close Berkey Hall and move classes to remote online instruction. This was done out of an abundance of caution while law enforcement immediately began a thorough investigation.
DPPS worked to determine the credibility of the information that was received while coordinating with other law enforcement agencies. As a result of the investigation, contact was made on September 3, 2026, with the individual at a location in Washtenaw County. The individual was taken into protective custody pursuant to the Michigan Mental Health Code. While we are limited in the information we can share about the individual, we can confirm they are not an employee or a student with Michigan State University.
Berkey Hall will open and resume normal operations on September 4, 2026, at 7:00 a.m.”

My thought is: can you tell us what the threat was please?? Gun violence or what? Because this was clearly some threat of violence. How are we supposed to go have our classes now when there’s this looming feeling that people not even affiliated with MSU have threats to us. It’s so upsetting. Also, violence can happen at any point in the day so why do the doors lock at 6??

Take care of yourselves.

I’m a freshman living in on campus and I’m trying to figure out the best way to go about changing roommates/rooms. I’ve looked through some older posts on here but wanted to ask what the process is actually like, especially if anyone has done it recently.

Basically, I originally had a different roommate who I was matched with based on the housing preferences, but around a week before move in he got switched out (I was never notified or told why) and I randomly got assigned my current roommate without really being aware it was happening. I’m assuming at that point there was a pretty small pool of people to choose from, because our living preferences are pretty much complete opposites.

He's a chill dude and there isn't any beef between us. We just don't really connect or talk much and have very different ideas of what we want our room to be like. I prefer a quiet, private room without many guests and generally like having my own space. He prefers more noise/activity, likes having people over and playing instruments, and we also have pretty different preferences when it comes to things like room temperature and the overall room environment.

I know MSU recommends doing the Living Agreement and talking to your RA, but the thing is I don't really want to make him change how he wants to live either because its not really his fault either for him being swapped for my original roommate. I don't think he's doing anything wrong, and I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. We just aren't a good roommate match. Making a bunch of rules that favor what I want would probably just make him unhappy instead.

I'd honestly rather move and hopefully both of us end up with roommates who fit our lifestyles better. I'm not expecting a single or a specific building either (although a single would be preferred.) I'd be fine moving to another normal double if that's what it takes.

For anyone who's successfully changed rooms/roommates at MSU, what was the best way to go about it? Should I start with my RA, contact the Community Director, wait for the room change waitlist, try finding someone to swap with, or do multiple things at once?

Also, if your situation was just roommate incompatibility rather than a serious conflict, did MSU still work with you? How long did it take to actually move?

Coming up on an hour now, who's having fun

long story short, my tap to pay doesn’t work. so i won’t be able to get into the football game with the new stupid system they have. i know it won’t work because my pass wouldn’t even work to get the shirt last week. so how can i get in? i know my main solution is just to call the ticket office tomorrow but i’m hoping someone will have an answer.

This will be my first MSU game, and I have a few questions.

What time to get to the game for the student section line?

I bought a ticket off seat geek, I read that last year there were problems with people not getting in even if they bought tickets, is it possible that is still a problem?

Definitely related to question one if it is something that could be an issue.

Appreciate any help

Go Green!
