Alyssa Corinne Nelson

Alyssa Corinne Nelson So I'm sure anyone on this page already feels this way but SVU is amazing. Basically. I will be a returning sophomore in the fall so last year going there, not knowing anyone and being away from my small town in socal was a bit scary but I made life time friends there quickly! It's one of the most nurturing environments and anyone who is even thinking about it should seriously consider it!

Initially it will serve as a practice field for the football team, with games being played at other locations.
Southern Virginia University
Yes, we would love to see the football team to be able to use it for games. This can happen once we have locker-room facilities built at the fields. Ice, I don... Read More’t anticipate this will happen right away, since we’re waiting on additional donations to go ahead with the locker-room facilities (we couldn’t do it all at once, so we started with the fields). If you’re coming here in the fall and playing football, you will be able to practice here—it’s a wonderful surface, and an amazingly-beautiful location.
Karen Walsh

Karen Walsh Hi everyone!

I was wondering if there are any families out there who have small children and need a babysitter. I am going to be returning as a sophomore in the fall, living right on campus, and I'm just looking ahead for a way to make a little extra cash (to help pay for school and expenses). I do not charge an arm and a leg! I absolutely love kids, and have plenty in my family that I am a constant nanny to so I promise I'd be a great help. I'll happily be available on weekends and probably some weekdays so if you're interested I'll even give you my weekly schedule in case you may need me then. I just thought I would ask in case you need a day off or a night out. I'd love to help! Message me or add me if I can help. Thanks so much. :)

Clint Kelley

Clint Kelley Can anybody tell me how I find out which student ward I am going to be a part of this fall?

Southern Virginia University
There are five wards for single Latter-day Saints at Southern Virginia University. If we understand correctly, the boundaries for the wards may shift some this year based on changes the university has made to locations for men's and women's housing. The stake has not yet announced what the changes will be. But all five bishoprics are great, so you'll be in good hands whichever ward you're in.
Clint
Clint
I was just wondering because I found out which dorm I will be in this semester and wanted to know if there is a way I can also find out which ward I will be in already since I will be arriving on campus early for football stuff.
