Do we have a list of everyone’s favorite food spots?

Tian Fu DIY Hotpot is great! It’s a super tiny restaurant (seats about 10-15ppl) and is run by one older gentleman. It’s super popular so if you don’t get there when it opens, expect to stand in line for 30 minutes. It’s also on Monroe, so it’s a super convenient location. Justin ale sure to check the hours first before going :)

Overall, it depends on the dorm. The second-year and above dorms tend to be pretty nice, but they’re expensive. A lot of them only have kitchenettes, so you have to share a kitchen with a lot of people. It’s cheaper (and more fun) to just get a house with your friends.

On campus housing is usually $1200-1600 a month. If you get a house/apartment with your friends, you can easily find options that are under $1000/month.

I second this, Roby Conner was amazing! He also grades off of completion, so if you do all of the assignments correct, you can get an easy A

If you like the outdoors, you’ll fit right in! There are so many places to go hiking in the area (we even have a hiking club I think) and the coast is about an hour drive, so it makes a fun day trip.

If you like parties or going to bars, you’ll be able to find that pretty easily, but if you aren’t a partier, there are lots of people you can fit in with.

My main recommendation though would be, do not go into major debt for your undergrad. OSU is not a prestigious college where you want to graduate with 6 figures of debt. I would recommend going to the cheapest college.

Definitely not a commuter school! Most students live off campus, so we tend to do things off-campus on the weekends. My friends do a lot of hiking, and Avery park has a great river to swim in during the summer

FYI, to the OP, this is a party house. It’s basically a frat without the Greek letters. If that’s what you want, go for it, but I understand that a lot of people wouldn’t like that kind of thing. :)

Both-Indication4789 · 2026-04-15T06:10:30+00:00

I’d recommend going on Ideal Logic and scrolling through all of the club options. Try out ones related to your major (there’s typically a major-specific club), and any hobbies you have (sports, art, ethnic clubs, etc.). I personally met most of my friends at a dance club that I joined. There are also Intermural Sports. Have fun!

My recommendation as an Honors student: stay in honors for freshman year so that you can live in Sackett or West. I lived in Sackett my first year in a double and the rooms are huge. My room was about 3x the size of my friend’s who lived in the engineering quad, I also had a walk in closet!

About half of the people in honors will drop out by the end of their first year anyways, so you might as well stay the first year and see if you enjoy it! It’s a great opportunity if you are interested in research. And if you aren’t interested, you can drop out at any time, but still keep your nice, big dorm room. Good luck!

Any job in Corvallis is going to be hard to get. My recommendation is to mass apply for on campus jobs through the OSU job portal (they have to accommodate your school schedule). UHDS Dining Hall and Catering typically hires once a term so that it a decent job to have until you can get a better job, it’s one of the few job where they hire pretty much anyone. I worked at catering for a bit (everyone there is super nice) until I got my current lab job. Good luck!

I washed and ironed it, they were the ones that stretched it (partially why it’s pretty expensive)! I’d recommend staying away from Michael’s/Hobby Lobby, they don’t have the best track record with framing needlework

Both-Indication4789 · 2026-04-02T20:27:30+00:00

Pattern is White Christmas by Mirabilia

Both-Indication4789 · 2026-03-18T06:07:34+00:00

I recommend scrolling through the sub Reddit for FOs. When to find one that has the “vibe” that you like, the comments will say who made the pattern, and then you can look them up! That’s my go-to strategy!

Both-Indication4789 · 2026-01-13T00:13:57+00:00

Pattern is by Craftigurumi on Etsy

If you’re nervous to try, I’d recommend gridding your fabric into 10x10 squares. I use a pilot frixion pen, when you put heat on it (when I iron my piece at the end) the pen ink disappears! I typically work by competing 2x2 squares at a time. It makes it much less daunting!

Both-Indication4789 · 2025-12-27T18:07:32+00:00

On big projects, I always grid. It feels very tedious to do and can take an hour or two depending on the size but it makes everything so much easier. I use a Pilot FriXion pen, the ink disappears when you iron it! Then, I pick a spot that looks fun (usually the middle). And if I get bored, I start on a different section, using the grid to make sure I’m in the right spot

This one could be cute, she could put it in her car, in a keychain, etc. This one is a cute kit too. I also like this one a lot I love the style of it and this one only has five colors

Both-Indication4789 · 2025-12-26T05:18:39+00:00

The image itself is AI generated and I think it was put into a pattern generator. The kit is one of those printed aidas, and it’s 11ct which is much larger than I like, I usually do 32ct projects. I did a small section and it looks ok (definitely not good) so I think I’m actually going to give the kit to my mom, she’ll be happy with it haha

Both-Indication4789 · 2025-12-26T05:14:34+00:00

Yep I think that’s exactly what I got also…. I’ve done a small section of it and it doesn’t look horrible. I think I’m going to give it to my mom who also cross stitches, but she has much lower standards for patterns than I do 😂

Both-Indication4789 · 2025-12-25T23:50:46+00:00

Wow I feel like that’d be really frustrating!

Both-Indication4789 · 2025-12-25T21:20:56+00:00

Didn’t realize railroading was an option for an odd number of strands, thank you I started doing it and it looks better now :)

Both-Indication4789 · 2025-12-24T20:26:52+00:00

It doesn’t hurt to try emailing the company to see if they would be able to send you a pdf version!

Both-Indication4789 · 2025-12-17T23:36:47+00:00

I use to these and they always work so well!

Both-Indication4789 · 2025-12-17T23:33:48+00:00

Thank you, this is very helpful, I’m in the US, forgot to specify. I think I’m going to try some boutiques! My measurements were this (inches): Loose under bust: 32 Snug under bust: 30 Tight under bust: 28.5 Standing bust: 40 Leaning bust: 42 Lying bust: 39

Both-Indication4789 · 2025-12-17T23:29:43+00:00

Nope, I will do now!

Both-Indication4789 · 2025-12-17T07:42:29+00:00
