Anyone subleasing a room or this summer? I’m gonna be working at NC State so it needs to be close by the campus because I don’t have a car so I need to be using the bus. Anything cheap can work, I’m not very picky. Ideal move in is ASAP until around fall move in (this can be negotiated). Budget is roughly 750, but cheaper is preferable.
I forgot to call today and genuinely have no idea. My job’s start date is May 25th but I don’t know if I’m supposed to show up or assume that the campus is closed.
So I got an offer for a full campus job during the summer that would be a 9-5 Monday. It’s an IT position and I would really like to take it, as the staff seem nice as well as the work seeming cool. I also think the resume value would be much better than a random part time (I’m a freshman CS student, it’s not amazing but still decent and I think this + my personal projects I would help with landing an internship next year)
However I don’t have consistent transportation. I don’t live too far from campus (like 10 miles away to the south but still in Raleigh) but I don’t have a car. There’s not a good bus stop (the route would end up taking roughly an hour and a half after 20 minutes of walking) and uber is too expensive (roughly 40 dollars a day since back and forth, and then 5 days a week. I’m also broke rn). Anyone have any suggestions?

For context I’m a freshman CS student at a state college. Obviously I’m interested in software development and become a SWE but I’m behind (didn’t have any opportunities before getting here). My resume only consist of research that I started with a professor here in campus that I hadn’t done a lot with, and a couple relatively weak personal projects (I’m about to work on one that I’m super excited about though). I’m just wondering what I can do ideally over the summer, but over the next academic year will do, that can improve my resume. Obviously I’m not talented enough for an internship (although I might be able to get a summer “IT intern” position at my school that’s relatively chill so I can be productive still that I could put up there). Any advice is appreciated!
