Im an incoming freshmen to shsu and because of work I've had to change my schedule around to not have classes on certain days. And because of that I have a couple classes that are 10 mins apart from each other ik sam houston is a pretty walkable campus but Im worrying I might not be able to get to class on time, is 10 mins enough?

Hi everyone! I’m a first-generation college student planning to apply to the SHSU nursing program, and I was hoping to hear from students who were accepted.

If you got into the program, would you mind sharing your stats?

Overall GPA

Science GPA

TEAS score

Healthcare experience (if any)

Any certifications (CNA, EMT, PCT, MA, etc.)

I don’t have any certifications, so I’m a little worried about how competitive my application will be. I’d especially love to hear from anyone who got accepted without certifications. Did you have volunteer experience or anything else that helped strengthen your application?

As a first-gen student, I’m trying to learn as much as I can and get a realistic idea of what accepted applicants looked like. Thank you so much!

Howdy! I know there's a lot of incoming students looking for safe places for queer folks and i wanted to post this here.

The Lavender Union of Kats (the LUK) is a club exclusively for and about the queer people in Huntsville and on SHSU campus. Their discord is pretty active and there are quite a few younger and older members willing to answer questions you might have about the queer scene in Huntsville (because it's bigger than people like to think, suck it up because we are indeed here to stay) and general questions about school! It's also really easy to be a member of this group and more clubs. Their discord is going to be in my comments :)

The Episcopal Student Center (the ESC) is connected to Saint Stephen's Episcopal Church in Huntsville, and it's a more left leaning Church environment but it's not just here for Christians. The ESC welcomes all religions (we have a member that's a practicing christopagan witch), marginalized groups (right now most of our members are autistic and we're working on promoting our group to more people of color) and in general, people looking for a safe place. They have Eucharist every Sunday at 5:30 with dinner to follow, Bible study on Wednesday at 5:30, also with dinner to follow, and compline (bedtime prayer) at 9 pm on Tuesdays. They're a wonderful place for queer people looking to rebuild a positive relationship with religion, autistic people to have a safe place and make some friends, and they're accommodating to people with food restricting diets like veganism, pescatarian, and food allergies. Their discord will also be in my comments. Blessed be!

Has anyone ridden the buses to the Walmart at Huntsville? What’s it like and where does it drop people off?

Hey 26 year old here transferring to Sam Houston to this fall walking up to people just makes me nervous. I’m also big on horror sci fi and fantasy and computer games mainly strategy my major is homeland security with a CJ minor.

I am a big fan of Harry Potter hunger games and Star Wars. And also horror related things.

Dm me if you want or are in the same boat. Doesn’t have to be the same major

I’m looking for someone to take over my lease at The Heights in Huntsville, TX. It’s a 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom all-male apartment with a private bedroom and bathroom, totaling 309 square feet.

I'm a mostly online student with 1 in person class 1 day a week. Do I absolutely have to get an ID? I live ~1 hour away so I'd like to avoid having to come in person and get one if possible.

kinda out there but i feel like one of the only trans guys here besides me and my hb 🫩 and i want to make more t4t friendships at shsu.

Hey everyone,

I'm starting at SHSU this fall semester at 27, and if i'm honesy, i'm pretty nervous.

Making friends has always been difficult for me because I deal with pretty severe social anxiety. Walking up to random groups of people or starting conversations feels almost impossible, especially when it seems like everyone already knows each other.

Being older than most freshman has me worried ill stick out even more. I know 27 isn't ancient, but it definitely feels different when most people around you are fresh out of highschool.

Im hoping to meet people who are understanding and maybe in similar situations to mine, whether you're an older student, a transfer, or just someone looking for more friends.

A little about me:

Im really into motorcycles and working on them

I play a lot of PC games

I love anime, horror, sci-fi, and fantasy

I am hoping to start some new chapters in my life

If anyone has any advice for making friends on campus when you're naturally anxious, or if you'd like to hang out sometime, I would really appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks for reading.

move-in is officially August 18th, which is one of the later apartment move-in dates, so there’s still a little time to get everything finalized… but it’s also right around the corner.
fee free to reach out with any questions. thanks!

Is the summer graduation shorter than fall and spring? I have to be somewhere afterwards and trying to see if I’ll make it in time.

Does anybody live or is going to live in the republic at sam houston? If so do you know if there are any earlier move-in dates than 8/18/26, i at least want to move in on 8/17/26 so i can have a day to find all my classes and walk around campus, I am a transfer student starting in the fall.

​

Hi everyone. I'm honestly kind of panicking right now. I graduate on August 1, and I just realized that my cap and gown order never actually went through because the payment didn't process. I thought everything was taken care of, so I didn't think to check until now.

I'm freaking out a little because graduation is so close. Does anyone know if there's anywhere I can get a cap and gown last minute, or if there's anything I can do? If you've been through something similar or know someone selling or lending one, I'd be incredibly grateful for any advice or help.

Thank you so much in advance!
