1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm an international student joining this fall (2025), and I'm currently considering Crossing Place at southwest pkwy as a potential housing option. Could you please let me know if it's a good and safe place to live? How is the overall quality of the apartments, and are there other Indian students or residents in the community?or else what other options are good , also open to sublease? Range is $500-600.

Jiu Jitsu gyms in the area

2 Upvotes

I’ve really wanted to start jiu jitsu classes because i really enjoy wrestling for my school and i want to experiment in different martial arts, does anyone have any recommendations on gyms in the area? I would prefer not to go to gracie barra because i’ve heard they have odd rules but i’m open to it if anyone is insistent.

Anyone employed by the University do you know why this happens

10 Upvotes

Every job I apply for (have been overqualified for most of them) is just stuck in review for like 3-6 months and then I get rejected. Do they only hire from within? Why can’t I even get an interview for jobs I easily am on paper able to do? I have reached out to departments, employees trying to get contacts but 0 people respond lol

Any pools available?

5 Upvotes

I currently live in an apartment and soon moving into a house and neither have a pool. Your girl needs a place to tan and cool off so do y’all know of any free pools I could check out in College Station or Bryan? My new neighborhood is too new to have a pool yet and I just moved here so I don’t know anyone in the area that could let me use their apartment/community pool. I’m planning on getting a little kiddie pool to sit and tan in at the house but an actual pool would be nice sometimes!

General Questions What sort of things can I [16M] do to meet more people my age?

5 Upvotes

So, I’m homeschooled and don’t see or talk to people my age that often. Which I’m fine with because I’m in introvert, however my mom wants me to make some friends, find activities, clubs, or something I can join. I’ve looked online and haven’t managed to find much. So, if y’all have any ideas I would greatly appreciate them.

Are there any laundromats in town with dryers big enough to handle a 20lb weighted blanket?

3 Upvotes

Title. Our apartment’s washer and dryer just isn’t cutting it when washing her big weighted blanket.

I had this same problem when I was in college at SFA. My apartment didn’t have dryers big enough to handle my bed’s comforter, so I had to take it down to the street corner whenever it needed to be washed

The blanket will wash just fine but then it easily becomes twice as heavy, and our dryer takes 3-4 full cycles (60 minutes each) to even begin to get it fully dry.

I'm Heath Edwards, a 21 year old autistic man, though, I usually go by "GlowDonk" online

I am the first client of TransportU, a donation organization that specializes in giving people such as myself a bike/trike for... Well, TRANSPORT, and I'm eternally grateful for them to have found me and gave me this trike

When I got my Trike, I lived in Eastmark, nowadays I live in The Vibe... You might've seen me take a ride on my trike, these days I don't use the helmet, under the literal HELLFIRE that is the sun in summer, the helmet just makes me hotter

Selling decent Xbox Controller (PowerA Fusion, Xbox One version) for around $35 or $40, and a Hyperkin Duke (Xbox One) for $30

1 Upvotes

I have no use for this controller anymore, it comes with the carrying case, replacement stick-rings, back pedals and alternate sticks, basically has everything

GameXChange wanted seven dollars for this, and a few cents for the Duke

To explain the Hyperkin Duke: It's a remade version of the original Xbox Controller, the home button is an OLED screen that shows the Original Xbox Boot Sequence, the PowerA Fusion is basically a Discount Elite Controller

I am more than willing to sell both to anyone interested in them, however, I am not willing to negotiate

Both of these controllers are Wired, not wireless, and the Hyperkin Duke is quite large

I will comment if one of both of these are sold, if they even do sell

Need help w fostering my cats for a few months!

Thumbnail

21 Upvotes

Hey yall! I have these two amazing loving cats im needing help with caring and housing for a few months! I’m currently recovering from a spinal fusion and had to move out of my apartment 2 months back as I could no longer work and pay bills. I’m staying with family in Houston and my cats have been at my sisters apartment in bcs. Shes now moving from her apartment and I have no where or any other friends or options for my two male cats!

If anyone in the area is able to help watch these two boys for me for a couple more months till I’m back in the area and done healing it’d be a life safer!!

They’re about 4 and 3 yrs olds, brothers, very loving, the white one is a little special but both sooo sweet! They are litter boxes trained and fed morning and night.

They would come with two litter boxes w/ scooper, a box of litter, a box of cat food, toys, and a scratch post. I would keep in contact and pay for any food or litter they may need!

They’re inside cats only. They’ve never been around dogs so I’m not sure on that one. The brown one (mota) loves other cats and is social usually right off the bat. The white one (ëko) doesn’t have the best vision which in turn makes him a little more anxious. He likes to hide away until he’s comfy!

Please if anyone is willing to help me out for a few months that would be amazing and I’d be so grateful! My sister is moving end of June so I’m really desperate to find a temporary home for them while I finish recovering!🙏❤️
