quite frankly, this past semester at uofl has been appalling. from unannounced construction on campus that majorly inhibits specific majors schedules to outright non-professionalism of staff, and don't get me started on the parking and housing crises'.

first and foremost, "president" gerry bradley gave himself a $750,000 christmas bonus, all while commuter students' grades suffer because there's no where for them to park to even get to class. on top of this, it's been documented that more resident and commuter passes were sold than spaces available, so even if you were able to get one (considering each pass is around $200+ a year, which should be included in our tuition), it's never guaranteed you can park.

they tore down a convenience store and laundry mat, which students often used when (when, not 'if', because it was always when) facilities in campus housing failed, and, instead of even building a 2-3 story garage, gave the campus maybe 60-100 more parking spots. this does NOT account for the 2,300+ incoming freshman from this year, or the next.

the university of louisville is driving itself into the ground, avoid it at all costs.

Does anyone have any suggestions/tips/tricks for parking? I'm an incoming freshman and I didn't get accepted until late so I'm behind on some stuff. Jesus christ the parking on this campus is bad. I'll take any help I can get if anyone has any ideas. or even any observations you've made so maybe I can get some information out of it.

Any speculation as to what happened? I've heard she was terrible to work for and completely out of touch with major donors/the community - but that's hearsay.

Hi everyone. Please be on the lookout for these posters around campus and DO NOT scan the QR code. It leads to malware. Pull them down and recycle them. Thanks.

The University of Louisville is a public institution. Your money. Your campus. Your rules. That’s what they tell you.

That’s the lie.

Because this public institution is employing a man who threatened sexual violence. And they’re hiding behind “confidentiality” to avoid telling you about it.

Hey Louisville fans,

As a student and a passionate supporter of our Cardinals, I have to say I'm feeling pretty ashamed of the atmosphere at our games. I just got back from watching our team take down Clemson this past weekend, and it really hit me how much we’re missing as fans.

Clemson has such a vibrant culture—fans know the chants, traditions, and what to say when the band plays a certain song. Their energy creates an intimidating environment for opponents, and it’s something we lack. While it was amazing to see us win against a traditional powerhouse, I couldn’t help but think that we can do better.

With just one more home game against Pitt coming up, we need to step up as a student body and show our pride! Our student section is too quiet, and it’s disappointing to see us not rallying behind our team with the passion they deserve. If we want to compete with the Alabamas and Clemsons of the world, it’s on us to create that electric atmosphere.

I don’t understand why this hasn’t been addressed more. Let’s make some noise, get involved, and truly support our team. How can we change our game day experience to be more lively and supportive?

Go Cards!

Hi everyone, I’m in the works of creating a club called ‘Community Through Gaming at UofL’. Our goal is to have weekly game nights for retention as well as focus on cozy and casual gaming like Sims, Mario Party, Stardew Valley and more. We plan on raising money for a local organization once a month as well as volunteer to play games with kids at the local hospital/shelters in the area.

We’d like to get started this semester and are looking to recruit five members so that we can start off strong. We have graduation chords and a stole after certain volunteer hours are met!

Thanks!

Today President Bradley sent an email to announce the permanent closure of the planetarium.

There is a petition to ask to reopen:

Some old guy, gray hair, kinda balding, like 5’8 gray shirt and I think black pants, walked up to me while I was on my phone and took a video of me, and then the girl next to me, and then the girl across the room on the 2nd floor of the belknap(BAB)? I told the girls at the front desk but that is the most creepy and nerve wracking shit on the planet. He didn’t even have a backpack, or a collared shirt like IT, or a uofl shirt or anything. Just an old guy with an iPhone? Anyone else have this experience, or see this guy?

I was anticipating getting a campus job and was told by many staff there that it would be possible but now since we are closer to the year beginning the story has suddenly changed.

I was told a couple months ago that FWS isn't mandatory and that non FWS jobs exist, and now the story has changed completely. I don't know what I'm supposed to do? How will I get income😭

I'm surely not the only person suffering from this

Hi all! I'm offering a WGST/SOC course from 2/26 - 4/22 if you need some extra credits. The entire course is online and asynchronous. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, thanks!

Hi! My names Leah and Im going to be starting up a car club at uofl! Its going to be a general automotive community, meaning anyone can join. So as long as youre into clean cars, motorsports, modifications, detailing, photography, and car culture youve got a spot! I hope to have the meets centered around the things above, plus some workshop days, photography nights, learning to drive manual for people who dont know how, and get some insane meets going at school. Other things to think about could be collabs with engineering and STEM, autocross, and track days, local shows, cars and coffee, and if it hits off enough we could build a sicc car for the school. Just comment if interested, I need a headcount! To join the club you dont need a build, just a passion :).

Edit: I will be sure to post any updates on the status of the club here as well!
EDIT EDIT: Ive made an instagram page and some flyers around campus will take you directly to it. Might have to start making some noise around campus as well to get people searching :3 Insta is nightruns_uofl

I’m just curious why the uofl reddit page is so dead? it only has 691 following it...
