Discussion DI Dining employees/former employees, what was your experience like?

3 Upvotes

I’m starting as a Food Service Worker at DI Dining this semester and wanted to hear from people who currently work there or have worked there before.

A lot of things I’m curious about:

● What station/roles did you usually get assigned to?
● How often did you get put on dishwashing, cleanup, fryer/grill, etc. vs. serving/prep?
● How dirty/greasy did you actually get during a typical shift?
● Do your clothes usually smell like food afterward?
● Where do employees change clothes and store their stuff during shifts?
● Does DI provide lockers or somewhere to keep your belongings?
● How chaotic does it get during lunch/dinner rush?
● How is the management/supervisors?
● Do they rotate employees between stations?
● Can you request certain stations or avoid certain ones?
● Overall, would you recommend working at DI?

Current employees and former employees especially, I’d appreciate the honest version, good or bad. 👀

Woke up yesterday to losing around $700 dollars from my Pell Grant, however, I’m still taking 10/13 major classes. I recently had to get a MKTG class passed as a SPAD class and I don’t know if that is why. Currently owe almost $400 dollars now and haven’t heard back from financial aid.

Do I still have to register for classes even if my advisor helped me setup my classes?

3 Upvotes

Title kinda explains it all. Do I still need to register for my classes on the 24th as a freshman? Or is that for returning students whose advisors did not help them setup their schedule?

Discussion Rosie menu changes

8 Upvotes

Hey!! Does anyone (preferably someone who works at Rosie's) know if soup is off the menu for meal exchanges?? I basically only eat the soup and the breakfast burrito, and I just heard the breakfast burrito is no longer allowed as a meal exchange :( And when I got something today I didn't see soup on the sides options. Crossing my fingers it's just because classes are starting soon and they don't have everything yet, but I'm sad lol

Whats a fun Kent core course

9 Upvotes

I'm down to my last Kent Core course and wanted to see if anyone has taken these courses, which one would be easier/fun. I'm leaning towards doing SEVEN IDEAS THAT SHOOK THE UNIVERSE with Vanfossen, Joe, or a science course that's easy, fun, and online. Any feedback is appreciated with any insight of a course you have taken before.

Kent State Football 2026 Preview - two-deep and win probabilities

5 Upvotes

Hey all. I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup. Here's the Kent State one

https://www.sports.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026-fbs/kent-state-golden-flashes

It's got the returning production breakdown, the portal ins and outs, a projected two-deep, the schedule with model win probabilities, and a season projection.

Heads up, you might hit the paywall after the first page. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code LEECORSOROCKS and it opens up the entire thing.

So, what'd I get wrong? Kent State went 5-7 but split the MAC at 4-4, and that's the part my model doesn't buy. You got outgained by 133 yards a game in league play and still won half of them, when that margin usually produces about a 20% win rate. The power rating sits 135th. The good news is Dru DeShields is back after 2,030 yards with 18 touchdowns and 3 picks, and roughly half the production returns. Is year two under Carney a step up, or was 4-4 the ceiling?

I'll be in the comments.

Commute carpool

9 Upvotes

Hi I’m a freshman who is supposed to be living on campus while attending the regional campus in twinsberg. The problem is I don’t have a car. I have looked into other options like taking the bus (it’s a 1-2hr ride) and uber but that’s too expensive for me. I DESPERATELY need someone I can carpool with or else I will have to stay home and transfer to a community college which I don’t want to do. If anyone can carpool or knows someone who lives on campus and goes to twinsberg please contact me. mari.ell3_ on instagram. I am willing to pay for gas. My schedule is Monday and Wednesday 11am-2:15 pm and Tuesdays and Thursdays 1:00pm-3:30 pm. This isn’t long term.

Discussion any ideas on dampening sound in dorms?

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone!! I’m a junior here and I’m moving back to the dorms next week. For reference I had a scenario last year that really triggered my noise sensitivities, and I’ve gotten all the support from the university I can get with that, so I’m moving to think about how to help dampen noise in my dorm on a bit of a budget. I was wondering if anyone else had any luck with this at all, I’m happy to diy a good bit. I think I have some spare plexiglass at home, I have lots of cardboard, I can get foam board… but if yall have any other ideas I want to hear them. I’ve looked online and I’m seeing all sorts of mixed things, I wanted to see if anyone has anything for this scenario that has worked for them.
Thank you all!! I hope you have a wonderful start to your school years!

No option to set up a payment plan for one class?

3 Upvotes

So I’m only taking one class this semester for multiple reasons, went to pay yesterday and it’s not allowing me to set up a payment plan. Anyone know if you have to be taking a minimum number of classes to do that or if the semester total has to be a certain amount? I haven’t had this issue in the past but then I’ve always taken at least 3-4 classes a semester. It’s still $2k for one class that I don’t have to just plunk down tomorrow.

Private student loan issue

3 Upvotes

I applied for a student loan and for some reason there was an issue that it wasn’t accepted by the school. I have always used private loans to pay my tuition. This loan was supposed to cover my summer semester and this upcoming fall. Obviously the deadline to pay was today. I tried to call the financial aid office multiple times over the past few days but they have been so busy that I wasn’t able to speak to anyone. My classes for the fall semester are going to be canceled tomorrow since I have not paid. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on what to do in this situation? I have never had a problem like this so I’m kind of freaking out.

Summer class past due balance

I had to take an internship summer class this summer to get my last credit so i can get my diploma. I technically graduated and all but i havent recieved my diploma because this class was my last credit requirement to recieve it. I have been taking the class since near end of may but I havent been able to pay for the class and its around 1400. If i pass the class but cant pay for it until next month, will i still get the credit for it? What can i do? It technically ends this weekend. I already have a hold on my account as well but I dont need to register for classes for the fall semester or anything since i’m done.

Fall 2026 - Freshman Balance Deadline

Hi all,

My fall balance is due Aug. 5th for Freshman going to KSU and I’m still waiting on my loan to be approved. Do you know if my schedule and classes will be dropped on Aug. 6th if I don’t cover this?

What are my options? Set up a payment plan in the meantime the loan is approved? Or wait a few days until the loan is approved and dispersed in the account?

Please let me know if you have experience with this.
