When It Rains, It Pours
When storm clouds roll in at ULM, students usually roll out. This is because our campus has a tendency to flood on rainy days.
Instead of trekking through massive puddles to get to class, some students stay indoors and in bed. However, there are benefits to showing up to class. Some professors give bonus points to their students who show up on treacherous days. When going to class here is what you will need: rain boots, a canoe and finally the obvious, an umbrella.
Another plus to going to school on rainy days is the extra parking, which brings us to the next survival tip.
Parking Is An Art Form
The first few weeks of school, parking strategies will form for all students. When it comes to parking we Warhawks usually become more like vultures.
Tip 1: be aware of the time of day. After 9:30 a.m. you’ll have more luck parking at the top of the parking garage or beside the construction building. Parking spots will not be available again until lunch time.
Tip 2: if another student’s class ends at 8:50 a.m. and yours starts at 9 a.m., there may be spots available in between those 10 minutes if you don’t mind the risk of being late.
At the end of the day courtesy while parking is a thing of the past.
$4 A Week Lunch
Through the generosity of student ministries, students on campus can eat lunch every week for only $4 if their schedules allow it.
Dollar lunches are a great way to meet new students, learn about the particular ministry on campus and eat lunch.
Dollar lunches are Monday through Thursday. Lunch socials during Week of Welcome, Homecoming and Spring Fever are other ways to eat for free on campus.
Monday- Warhawks for Christ
Tueseday- Wesley Foundation
Wednesday- Baptist Campus Ministry
Thursday- Catholic Campus Ministry
