(context: 25 yr old, working at the same time as in school, moved from 3 hours away by myself, don’t speak to family, incoming transfer junior)

this school is genuinely hostile to non-traditional students

genuinely shocked there is not a single organization on campus designed for students who work full time or are fully financially independent.

the parking situation is absolutely horrendous for someone who has to commute to work after class. being a 30 minute walk or a 20 minute bus ride one way after already having to commute from off campus is unbearable.

anyone else absolutely bored of the current format?

i don’t necessarily have a “muh, charizard y is broken” attitude towards this season, but having 6 pokemon sitting at 25%+ usage makes queuing so tiring.

june 15th - september 8th seems like a very long time to sit in such a low power, centralized format. i might just wait until next month to continue playing.

place to practice electric guitar?

i was looking into practice spaces to play my electric guitar in, and the practice rooms that are offered seem more geared towards piano/band/orchestra instruments rather than my guitar. i was wondering if anyone has experience using the practice rooms and if this would be a good fit for my instrument?

transfer orientation not very useful for adult learners

i’m an adult learner transferring into NCSU in the fall from my community college. i totally feel like the transfer orientation did not provide me with a ton of information or resources that i couldn’t get from just reading the website.

most of the transfers are from surrounding community colleges and are 18-20, so the event feels 100% geared towards them, rather than an adult, fully financially independent learner who’s moving from 3 hours away looking for help transitioning.

variety ID?

i repotted a hanging basket of mixed pothos varieties about 7 months ago, and it has absolutely exploded with new growth,

im curious what variety of pothos is producing these highly variegated leaves.
