MSUM

First week at MSUM, Minnesota numbers included

The first week is buildings, a bus, a bank, and a moment you wish someone would just point. Pointing is allowed. Crisis response is not this app.

Day one numbers

MSUM Public Safety: 218-477-2449. 911 for danger. Moorhead Police for the city. You are in Clay County. If you walk to Broadway after dinner, you crossed into Fargo and Cass County — fun, and a different city desk if something goes wrong.

How to spend the week without getting stranded

Walk the indoor public places in daylight: union, library, the paths you will actually use at 9 p.m. Official MSUM events show in Help Me with attribution. Concordia is next door; their calendar is a separate source, not the same school.

  • Put Public Safety in your phone before you put new friends in a group chat.
  • MATBUS U-Pass details live on matbus.com — confirm student fare rules there.
  • Ask Help Me for a study table or directions. Ask Public Safety for an official escort or a campus jump.
  • Food and money stress: 211 and campus basic-needs pages, not a helper chat.

When the first week stops being logistical

Homesick is human. Panic that will not come down is 988 or campus counseling. Threats are 911. Do not test whether a neighbor can substitute for any of that.

Questions people actually ask

Is there a separate Help Me for MSUM?

No. One Fargo–Moorhead app. MSUM is a place inside it, with its own official calendar and its own public safety.

Can Public Safety jump my car off campus?

MSUM describes on-campus jumps and a short radius. Read their current services page. Off campus, a neighbor or a shop.

Help Me is a community app for adults in Fargo–Moorhead. It is not a K–12 student program, not a youth chat, and not campus police.
