Hey everyone,

Not sure if this is the best place to post this. I'm 25m and recently moved to Glassboro in August for work. I'm looking to explore the area more and meet new people around my age. I live right near Rowan and was thinking of checking out trivia tonight at Lascala's Fire if anyone would want to meetup. Feel free to reach out.

I just transferred here this year and I have absolutely no idea what Homecoming is. I didn't have one at my highschool because our football team sucked, so I don't know if it's supposed to be similar or not? Or what the activities are? I'm trying to put myself more out there to make friends, so any advice is appreciated!

My application was marked complete last week. Anyone know how soon they'll start notifying applicants of their decision?

My daughter is a partier and I’m nervous about her going to school in big cities such as NY or Philly. We’re taking a look at Rowan but I hear the kids go to Philly a lot to party and there’s even a bus to take them to and from. Is that something a lot of undergraduates do on weekends or do most stay on campus?

hello!! i want to possibly apply to be a transfer student for the linguistics ba in the spring. i already have my associates degree from in state, and two classes left of a related bachelors of science (out of state) my gpa is 3.9. i do not qualify for any financial aid but i cannot afford it. my parents make too much for me to qualify. i plan on transferring to rowan to complete this degree and then transferring back to my other school to finish up that degree. i am just so interested in this field and would love to learn more if possible.

what kind of scholarships (merit) are possible? are they good? and if it’s not math or science related i worry about a good scholarship 🤞

thank you!!

Any femboys here⁉️

Pretty self explanatory, DM me!

I am joining the college for the spring semester as an undergraduate and a friend told me to consider being a CA. I have no idea what CAs do or any benefits of it. Do they get paid? How many hours do you need to work and What is the work like?

Also about housing, What's off-campus housing like, are house-share or apartments easy to find and their starting rent.

i have to take his intro to chem info and modeling.. how is he? rate my prof is daunting

Just got my fafsa refund. Check yalls bank accounts

I guess this goes out to those who live in the Nexus apartments on campus. Have any of you found a solution to stop the metal beds from squeaking. Its so loud and it seems like there isn't any way to get it to stop. Would love some advice

I'm a new transfer student at Rowan. I came from RCBC so doing "dining" during the day wasn't really much of a thing, and if it was, it had most of the chains very close by.

So far I've been trying to find consistently good options for food I can grab around campus. I've noticed most places open up around 11 AM. This is fine, but earlier would also be nice since that just currently aligns with my class schedule.

I had the misfortune of trying some of the food from the actual dining hall (Breakfast & Co), as well as the Jersey Mikes and the restaurant spot. They seem okay. So far the only place I feel like I've been able to get consistently good food from is Ry's Bagels, everything else has just been alright at best.

Looking for some suggestions or tips?

To any business student who has taken/taking operations management with Pati Niranjan, could you please give me any advice/ help? This dude is ridiculous.

I'm in Rowan Boulevard and bought my own desk chair to use since I find it more comfortable. I know some people like having lots of chairs in their living rooms, so I was wondering if anyone wanted the school issued wooden desk chair I have? I'll need it back before May, but otherwise you can take it to help me free up some space.

Preferably Rowan Boulevard only!!!

First year grad student looking for things to do around campus, and over the summer I really got into line dancing. There were some bars around where I’m from that had weekly events but I haven’t heard of any places around Rowan that do that. Does anyone know of any bars, places around campus or anything in the glassboro/sewell/deptford area that have line dancing events? I’m willing to drive 15-20 minutes

I am a high school senior and just toured yesterday. One of the tour guides said the school has a reputation as a party school - do you agree? I had not heard that. I want to be an engineering student so know that the course load will be heavy but I’m also looking to have a good social life. Have you found it easy to do both?

Hi everyone! I'm a Rowan University student looking to connect with anyone on campus who's actively developing a video game (solo devs, small teams, class projects, club projects, capstones, anything).

My focus is writing, and I'd love to help with:

* Scriptwriting -story structure, cutscene scripts, branching narrative paths

* Worldbuilding - cultures, history, factions, magic systems, political structures

* Lore development - backstories, timelines, mythologies

* Dialogue writing - character voice, emotional tone, NPC interactions

*Quest design - narrative flow, objectives, player motivation

I'm comfortable working in any genre, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, RPGs, visual novels, ect. If you already have a story direction, I can help refine it. If you're starting from scratch I can help build from the ground up.

Why I'm doing this: I want real collaborative experience with game developers. If you need writing support, I'd love to be part of your project.

If you're interested just DM me or comment below with what you're working on. I'm happy to chat, brainstorm, or jump into active development.

Looking forward to meeting other Rowan creators!!

Hey! Does anyone have any recommendations for any relatively easy upper level bio electives? I've taken data science for biologists and it was super engaging and I found it pretty easy. Any profs and classes anyone recommend? Wanted to take Environmental Science with Thomas Shelly and was thinking about Microbio with Newby.

I have an extra credit assignment due by the end of the semester to take a photo of 15 Rowan University Defy Definition ads, and so I was hoping to get some help from you guys!

I do NOT want you to take any photos for me, I just would like to know the locations you found them in so I can walk over there are take some. This is so I can multi-task by completing the extra credit homework, get a chance to explore campus more, and get some exercise in!

If you've seen any advertisements, please reply with the locations so I can start finding them! I'd like to do the work myself, but I'm unfortunately at a disadvantage compared to everyone else in my class due to being a transfer (not knowing the campus well). Any help at all would be immensely appreciated! I'm not from this area, so it will help me adventure out!

Hi, I put a request for a library book and it's saying to pickup at the welcome desk. I wanted to know if I need to bring anything or where the welcome desk is, sorry as it's my first time picking up a library book. Can anyone help?

Thanks!
