“I think just for campus purposes [juuls and vapes] don’t stink, so I don’t think that bother people as much as an actual cigarette would. There’s no ash or anything so it’s not like they are going to be thrown on the floor so they keep the campus clean. But for people [healthwise], no, because […]

Shark Speak: What do you do to feel comfortable in your own skin?
“I wear my croc’s to feel comfortable in my own skin. I wear whatever I want and croc’s are [something] I like,” said Megan Knights, senior environmental science major. “I exercise and I listen to podcasts. I find distracting my mind helps me sort out things,” said Aisha […]
Shark Speak: How do you feel the NSU Community accepts students from different backgrounds and social classes?
Hasiba Ahmed, Sophomore Biology major I think NSU is pretty good with diversity. There is a lot of [progress] pushing towards the acceptance. I feel like teachers are pretty good. As I am visibly Muslim, there is a pretty big Muslim club here. I think that is really nice, but I know it took a […]
Shark Speak: With all the construction on campus for the new residence hall and parking garage, what is another project you think NSU should focus on next?
“I just started here so I’m not sure what we might be missing but more food places; more diversity and more parking would be good. In the Shepard Broad College of Law if you’re ten minutes late to class, you’re parking somewhere else. More parking spots for the Shepard Broad College of Law” said Tevon […]
Shark Speak: How do you feel about NSU’s summer course offerings and why?
Jenna Fitzhenry, sophomore communication sciences and disorders major, “I personally don’t really take summer classes because they are too expensive at NSU and I also live far away. It doesn’t make sense for me to stay here over the summer when I can pay for the classes with my scholarship during the fall and winter […]
Shark Speak: Would you say NSU is environmentally conscious? Why or why not?
Alejandro Serrano, junior biology major “They are making an effort to be by posting the recycling bins along the residence halls and along campus. We have recycling options, but there are things that [NSU] can do better, like using tupperware and things like that. But, I’d say they do a decent job.” Fabian […]
Shark Speak: Have you experienced any problems this year finding space on campus to do activities like meeting with friends, studying, eating, etc.?
Elyse Hames, freshman neuroscience major: “Yes. Getting more study spots on campus by possibly adding more cabanas outside Flight Deck [might help]. It’s a really great study space for me because I get some fresh air and I get a chance to get my work done but whenever I go to get [a seat at […]
Shark Speak: What is the difference between the word “diversity” and the word “multicultural”?
Jillian Harb, sophomore biology major, said: “I don’t really know. I think ‘diversity’ is having a lot of different cultures within one place. For instance you can classify an area as very diverse. But ‘multicultural’ is more like incorporating cultures. Some places can be diverse where there’s different ethnicities but that doesn’t mean that they […]
Shark Speak: With preparations for the SGA elections underway, what problems would you like to see the next senators tackle?
Sierra Durnil, freshman nursing major “Cheaper and better food as well as a restructuration of the housing system since the current system is unfair to many students and it has a lot of problems.” Carla Jones, junior nursing major “I don’t mind the food, but I wouldn’t mind if it got better. […]
Shark Speak: What are your thoughts to the announcement of the recent changes in residential life and housing slated for next year?
Aaliyah Rigby, freshman environmental science major “Nothing really changed for me since I’m in Razor’s Edge because we have to stay in Commons. However, I really don’t like that fact since there are no facilities like a community kitchen in Commons so it’s [going to be] another year of not being able to cook food […]
