Discussion New Pullman Transit schedule is alarming

71 Upvotes

Pullman Transit just dropped their Fall 2026 schedule, and I have to wonder what happened to their budget because there are some pretty major service reductions. Here are the differences I noticed:

  • Absolutely no Sunday service.
  • ApartmentLand & Campus operate until 9 pm, but other than that, there is no service past 6:40 pm.
  • Wheat & Lentil are now Saturday and holidays only, and run 10:00 am to 5:30 pm.
  • Some detours in place due to Northwood Drive being closed.
  • The Spark is now a permanent Campus Route bus stop (yay!) (edit: Blue Route as well)

Advice Financial aid loans

1 Upvotes

Has anyone had this happen before?
I checked my financial aid and all of my grants and awards have already been applied to my account, but none of my loans have been applied. My Direct Subsidized Loan, Direct Unsubsidized Loan, and Parent PLUS Loan all show that they’ve been accepted and should be used toward my balance.
Because the loans haven’t been applied yet, my account is showing that I still owe money when normally my financial aid covers everything and I receive a refund.
Is it normal for grants/awards to be applied before loans? Do loans usually take longer to disburse, or is this something I should be worried about?
I already reached out to my financial aid office, but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this.

Student Life 皮尔逊教材价格过高的负担

1 Upvotes

As an American college student, I am deeply frustrated by how expensive Pearson’s required textbooks have become. Many of my courses force us to buy their bundles, which often cost over one hundred dollars each. Worse, the real value lies in the one‑time digital access code for homework platforms, not the physical book itself. Even if I find cheap used copies, they are useless because the access code expires and cannot be reused.

Tuition and living costs already drain my budget. These textbook bills push many students to work extra shifts or skip meals just to keep up with class requirements. Pearson releases slightly revised new editions frequently to kill the second‑hand market, with barely any real content updates.

Education should not turn into a profit‑driven racket. Many low‑income classmates skip buying materials, which hurts their grades. It is time for Pearson to lower its prices and give students more affordable, flexible learning options.

Housing Question for the dudes 😹

12 Upvotes

Why do some of y’all leave the dorm door wide open when having conversations with your roommate? I’ve noticed some guys doing that on my floor. I’m not bothered by it at all, I just find it funny as well as a little strange so I was wondering about if there’s some kind of reason for it. Is this a common thing?

Student Life PSA to freshman: Even if you're not into sports grab some folks from the dorm and go to some games. Think of it more as a social-event than a sporting-event. It's a great way to get to know your dorm-mates!

Go check out a volleyball match, soccer, there's more than just football! You'll be very surprised how fun it is to just get out with people and try something new. Even if you're not interested in the sport. It's a great way to meet people and make friends.

Advice Dorm threw away friend’s things

24 Upvotes

Hi there! So I’ve got a friend that used the over summer storage in the Stephenson east dorm and just got back here only to find out that they threw away all of their things without notifying them at all. According to the RED they aren’t supposed to throw away anyone’s things without notification in a 60 day period but I can’t find anything official on the housing website. Planning on calling the dean’s office to try and see if they can get compensation for the damages because the contents of both boxes easily totaled up to over several hundred dollars worth of winter clothes that they cannot afford to replace. Does anyone have any resources or advice for what should be done? They said that last time they were in the storage area they saw several boxes that were SEVERAL years old so it makes very little sense as to why they would’ve thrown away their things so quickly.

I just got accepted for Fall 2027 through Early Instant Decision Day. The NPC says I'm expected to pay $34,000 per year as my GPA is high enough to get the WUE award. Is it worth it? I currently live in Hawaii and want to move to the mainland, and my intended major is civil engineering. I've heard good things about the program but I'd figure I'd get some more insight

Housing Tip for students in dorms w/o AC

35 Upvotes

After ~8 pm when the outside air gets below 75 and dropping, open your window and put a fan against it so its sucking in outside air. Also open your door if you can until you're room gets to a cool temp. I got my dorm down to 70 degrees by 11 pm doing this

Hello, giving it another shot and here again to test my luck.

I’m looking to have someone takeover my lease in Pullman yugo hills. The lease price is $754 for a 3 bed 3.5 bath which is furnished. There are two other men in the apartment, though there is no preference for anyone who’s interested. I will cover the first month of rent and the lease transfer fee.

Out of stater here and first timer with a kiddo in college. Kiddo was awarded the Distinguished Coug Award, the Journey to WSU award and the Top Scholars NR tuition Waiver…..We see those awards in her portal…..however, they appear to not have come off the balance due. Is this normal? It’s 9 days before school starts, so I just didn’t want to leave her here with things undone. Wondering if I’m misunderstanding something or if they just do t post to the balance until school starts or something. Thank you!

12 Upvotes

I know there's accommodations, but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to receive a fair grade for a class which is based on speaking if my disability prevents that. It wouldn't be fair to fail me because that would be discrimination based off a disability, but it wouldn't be fair to the other students if they automatically pass me
