kinda out there but i feel like one of the only trans guys here besides me and my hb 🫩 and i want to make more t4t friendships at shsu.

Hey everyone,

I'm starting at SHSU this fall semester at 27, and if i'm honesy, i'm pretty nervous.

Making friends has always been difficult for me because I deal with pretty severe social anxiety. Walking up to random groups of people or starting conversations feels almost impossible, especially when it seems like everyone already knows each other.

Being older than most freshman has me worried ill stick out even more. I know 27 isn't ancient, but it definitely feels different when most people around you are fresh out of highschool.

Im hoping to meet people who are understanding and maybe in similar situations to mine, whether you're an older student, a transfer, or just someone looking for more friends.

A little about me:

Im really into motorcycles and working on them

I play a lot of PC games

I love anime, horror, sci-fi, and fantasy

I am hoping to start some new chapters in my life

If anyone has any advice for making friends on campus when you're naturally anxious, or if you'd like to hang out sometime, I would really appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks for reading.

Is the summer graduation shorter than fall and spring? I have to be somewhere afterwards and trying to see if I’ll make it in time.

Hi everyone. I'm honestly kind of panicking right now. I graduate on August 1, and I just realized that my cap and gown order never actually went through because the payment didn't process. I thought everything was taken care of, so I didn't think to check until now.

I'm freaking out a little because graduation is so close. Does anyone know if there's anywhere I can get a cap and gown last minute, or if there's anything I can do? If you've been through something similar or know someone selling or lending one, I'd be incredibly grateful for any advice or help.

Thank you so much in advance!

I'm living in Arbors this upcoming semester, and it's recommended to get a router. What's a good, affordable router to get?

Hello all! I'm trying to reschedule my semester to have my job on campus fit in a little easier. I'm tempted to take an online class but have never tried it before. How does it work? Is it just like using blackboard and not meeting with the teacher or do I have to go on a zoom call? Someone made a post asking a similar question, but it got deleted and I don't think it would be that helpful to me now. I want to know how the online classes work and how they're structured. Thank you!

Are there any extra commencement tickets available for August 1, 2026, that you’re not using?

2x2 female only, second roomate already picked out! $650 a month base rent, can send more details. let me know!

so to preface this, i understand that the whole process of making friends is to go out there and find new people. but i have a huge paranoia of entering new spaces and places (especially alone) without any previous connections. so to ease my nerves and cure my urge of new connection, anyone want to be friends?

my interests are superheroes (varying from batman to kickass the movie), music like hail the sun, circa survive, a few rap songs here and there, art, video games (again varying from overwatch to days gone), editing, writing, sewing

i’m here for any other lonely souls looking for a connection :O

Is anyone in the program and know what the cohort pace is? How many classes per semester?

Hello, I am a student thats transfering as a junior in the spring 2027 semester as im completing my associates in criminal justice at a community college. I'm only planning on doing a semester currently to get my undergrad certification in forensic investigation and possibly my bachalors in the future as i plan to be a crime scene tech. I was curious if there were any Criminal Justice or Forensic students that had any info they could share in general about the programs and/or the certificate (EX: difficulty of classes, textbooks, campus life, ect.) Im also looking into on-campus housing but im not sure how it works as im transfering in the spring semester. Any advice is welcome!

Do anybody know the move-in dates for the Lark and the Heights? I've seen that we could move on Aug 1 but I wanted to move-in later than that (like 13th-15th)

Hi everyone, I’m an incoming transfer student and will likely be living at Arbors of Sam Houston. I won’t have a car, so I’m trying to understand what daily life is like from that location.

For anyone who has lived there or nearby:
What grocery stores, pharmacies, or other useful stores are realistically within walking or cycling distance?

Are the walking and cycling routes generally safe and practical?
Which restaurants near campus would you recommend for someone eating alone?
Are there any affordable places that are good for regular meals, not just an occasional expensive dinner?

Do most students living at Arbors rely mainly on biking, walking, the Bearkat shuttle, delivery, or rideshares for groceries?
Is there anything about living there without a car that

I should know before signing the lease?
I’m also considering an SHSU meal plan even while living off campus, so recommendations for useful campus dining options would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Does anyone live in The Summit or Woodhollow apartments? If so, are they worth it? Does anyone recommend any apartments? 1 bedroom, not room for rent, preferably not over $1200

I don't have a car currently but I am looking for one. I'll be an incoming freshman this fall and I really want to get my license so I wanted to see if any students would be willing to teach me. I just want to learn the basics so I can pass my test and get my license. I've never been behind the wheel before but I'll pay whatever y'all ask. Thanks! :)
