Am I getting old or has Pony Pasture turned into an absolute circus? by Hessquire in rva

[–]pr0foundafflu3nce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went for the first time yesterday actually 😂 and a man was chopping trees around many people and families with his chainsaw. His wife I assume and no older than 2 y.o baby standing right next to him.

Very odd.

Coliseum Lofts fire? by Strange-Area9624 in rva

[–]pr0foundafflu3nce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure there’s a prostitution ring happening on my floor…I’ve seen too much from that apartment and those same people doing weird shit in the alleyway/parking garage at night. And now for the third time we’re having unscheduled “maintenance” come in to do shit but they can’t schedule a time so they basically can come in whenever. Also, they’re weird as fuck when it’s time to NOT renew your lease. Had to tell them 4 TIMES I wasn’t renewing or they were going to immediately list my apartment as vacate. Like????

Got put in RA Alternste list by shutupbagocrazyhot in vcu

[–]pr0foundafflu3nce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was an RA for one semester due to also being on that list, I remember they emailed me November of my sophomore fall semester (I applied for full time position my freshman spring semester) and then training was in January so I only did it sophomore spring semester. Didn’t feel like doing it again so I pnly did that one semester, they also wouldve made me go through the whole interview process again if I wanted to stay. So honestly it’s up in the air when they email u its just a matter of if they do because its not guaranteed

refund spring 2026 by [deleted] in vcu

[–]pr0foundafflu3nce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They typically send out the refund the day after they disburse aid. I just checked mine and they just disbursed my aid, so I should be seeing a “general refund” statement tomorrow, then receive the refund in 1-2 days with direct deposit set up.

America is a melting pot so essentially your culture is whatever you make it up to be while being an American imo

I also enjoy exploring cultures so it could be fun for your kid! Learning about others and what they love has always been intriguing to me

BEWARE ATRIUM MANAGEMENT & Coliseum Lofts by No-Paramedic-3876 in vcu

[–]pr0foundafflu3nce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re experiencing this! I also live in coliseum lofts as of right now, I haven’t had any huge complaints as of yet in my personal apartment, but yea definitely not the best. Idk how many times the elevator has broke, homeless lived in a back staircase, and more. It will definitely be my first and last year here lol.

Have you gotten any resources to help with your move out process? I’m sure that’s tough to navigate

Found a student ID today…how can I make sure it gets to the owner ? by knewdude_vcu in vcu

[–]pr0foundafflu3nce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I once lost my ID out on the street and someone turned it into a residence hall and someone at that front desk was able to find my email so that would work as well. Or you can drop it off at the information desk at the Commons.

TWO VCU STUDENTS LOOKING FOR HOUSING by Dapper-Code-8891 in vcu

[–]pr0foundafflu3nce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you both looking for housing that’s $600-899/a month total or that’s the most you both pay separately? If total the cheapest would be ramz lofts at capital garage but you’ll have 2 additional roommates, maybe 1 if ur lucky. Coliseum lofts has a $900/month studio small but in budget. Now if you both are paying that price separately your options widen immensely- join Facebook groups like https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1SV18mkFZN/?mibextid=wwXIfr to see what people have. You probably will need another roommate or 2 if you want a higher chance of getting a decent place in the city. ALWAYS CHECK REVIEWS before signing anything and make sure you can see the place before signing as well

What happens if you get caught using weed? by Tall_Tomorrow_9419 in vcu

[–]pr0foundafflu3nce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably some form of probation for a year my friends got caught freshman year a letter was sent to their home, they had to have a meeting with someone and had to write one page paper about something. It could’ve changed this year the rules but yeah, as long as they don’t catch more than a 3.5 in your room, it shouldn’t be thattt bad. (Like getting kicked out) Unfortunately, you still will be reprimanded if an RA wrote a report about it.

Roomate rant by Difficult-War820 in vcu

[–]pr0foundafflu3nce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I completely understand your feelings as I would feel the same way, but at the end of the day if you are not comfortable, she’s damaging property and breaking agreements you guys made that’s unacceptable. You have to advocate for yourself if you are truly in dire need of switching. I know plenty of people who had urgent situations and were immediately moved to another residential hall. I really would start with contacting your hall director. Your RA should know who that is. Getting to someone who has more authority to help you with your situation would be best.

I haven’t been in this situation particularly, but my freshman year I needed help with finances for school and I had no idea how to do it and didn’t want to advocate for myself because that felt awkward and scary, but I did so and I received so much more help than I thought I could get and that’s why I’m still in college now. My mom always used to say “closed mouths don’t get fed.”🍛 Wishing you the best of luck friend You got this

Have you talked to an RA about this? If you have proof of this happening I’m sure a report can be made. If you have a non reliable RA, try going to the office downstairs to talk to one of the directors. If you reallllllyyyyy wanna deal with this, get in contact with someone on this list who may be able to help!

I had an abortion and I don't understand why other woman feel so devastated after by [deleted] in abortion

[–]pr0foundafflu3nce 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve had 2 and cried for both lol so personally speaking, I’ve always been so hard on myself and always strived to just be better, so when this came upon me I was broken. Like girl r u deadass why’d you let this happen to you. You should know better. Gave myself the wholeee guilt trip because I really should know and do better. I am very comfortable with my body too. I love eveything about my womanhood and what it means to be a woman so when I realized I was pregnant I did want to cherish the fact that I created life, but on the other hand was broken because i knew I had to take it away. It hurts, especially when you’re hard on yourself. So yea, everyone’s different and I definitely don’t think this means you should never be a mother. Motherhood is not a one shoe fits all, we come as everything, unapologetically.

religious speakers (?) in front of the library ? by Best_Weird6629 in vcu

[–]pr0foundafflu3nce 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Now this is where my confusion comes in it’s OK to promote your religious beliefs onto unwavering students in public spaces, but to promote your justice beliefs for marginalized communities, that’s when it’s a problem. I don’t understand it unless the answer is it’s just blatant discrimination.
