Maybe it’s bc rush hasn’t started or maybe I haven’t met the right people bc I’m in the engineering village but where are all the welcome week parties? I’m a freshman and my friends at other schools are having stuff every night and welcome week is always so hyped up and ts just feels like any other week at school. Any advice ?
Is this too much freshman year?
For those who bike to campus, how safe do you feel? The traffic this week makes me nervous to bike, but I'm hoping it dies down after the first week of classes. I'm about 2 miles from campus and am gonna bike to classes soon instead of taking the bus
I read the syllabus for all my classes and they all say they will crucify you if you miss too many classes. So why were people saying no you could skip class as though it was a regular thing earlier. I wasn’t planning on skipping but I thought it would be an option. Genuine question.
I’m a sophomore in computer science and am currently taking software development fundamentals, discrete mathematics, calculus 3, and physics 2.
Ik worried that, even though this is 15 credits, this is a bit much. Last semester I only took 12 credits and ended up getting a C+ in calc 2 and a C- in physics and had to retake it over the summer and got an A+.
I feel like if I dropped calc 3 I could retake it at another time and have a way better chance of doing good in the other 3 classes.
Am I over estimating how hard it would be or should I drop it and take calc over the summer
Hey all, I'm a new international PhD student.
Since I just got here and was only able to find an apartment between Raleigh and Cary without a car, I rely heavily on buses to get around. Most of my experiences have been fine, but the few bad ones have been pretty critical.
When I first arrived at my apartment on a GoCary bus, the driver missed the signal when I pulled the cord to get off and drove past my stop. I ended up having to walk back to my place along the shoulder of the road. Today, in the downtown, a Raleigh bus saw me at a stop but drove past me staying on its lane. When I found another, the driver took me to the wrong destination and yelled at me, saying that he'd already told me about the changes the other day. Since it was my first time visiting downtown, he must've confused me with another Asian.
Sorry for dumping mundane things, but it's been rough days for me that I needed to shout out. I guess I'll be getting busy with school soon anyway, so probably won't bother going off campus often. Fortunately, my building provides a shuttle to where only necessary.
Everyone has been evacuated from the building with no announcement on what is going on, the other Tri-Towers are unaffected.
I'm new to the area and want an insiders perspective. I do not want to get a fake.
Im not sure why but it feels like the traffic has gotten worse since last year. Last year the busses were slow on campus, but still arrived timely. Now we waited 10 minutes for one bus to show up, and then another 10 just to arrive.
I've talked to others and they said the foot traffic has been bad as well. With many people clogging up the streets and roads. Same with the cars, I've never seen this many people in them on the campus. Im not sure if I just missed it last year but it's not good.
I’m NCSU exploratory interested in biology. Obviously I would need to drop some classes but what could i drop and be ok with? Could I drop ma 131 because I’m not incredibly confident in it.
i don’t know why i decided to do this. i’m not supposed to be here.

What the title says. I'm worried that my classes are too difficult for my first semester (mainly the MA242 and HI209 - prof seems great for calc, but I didn't do the greatest with calc 2 concepts in AP calc [granted my class rushed through it]; Dr V seems really nice, but I've heard horror stories about the difficulty of that class, his strictness with grading, and his lecture style). Additionally, I'm worried the 15 minutes between USC101 and CH102 won't be enough time for me to actually get to lab and be ready.
If anyone could give this anxious bloke some help, it would be greatly appreciated 😅
Even when I go at 8am it’s still pretty packed.
Would a planet fitness subscription be better?
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.
I’m just afraid of overdoing it first semester. I’m also fine with the late class
Hi, I have a close relative who just started their master’s program here and they are having a hard time finding housing, getting a drivers license and buying a car. They have a student visa and are already working part time at the school. Any resources to help them?
Hi! I just moved in and I'm really swamped with work. I live in UT and I'm looking for someone to assemble a cart as well as tidy up my room, organize, and clean the doors. It's a private bath and private room so no worries about any other people. Im willing to pay up to 100$ usd in cash (depends on below and willing to negotiate)
I need you to comment why i should hire you for this and heres why:
I have ocd so i need everything to be clean!! Also no shoes, you can leave them at the door. If youd like me to buy you your own slippers (you can take them when you leave) then i can.
So yea, comment below if youre interested and ill ask when ur available 😗
I need a physiology requirement for my Biology B.S. but the only available class that fits my schedule is the B side of human anatomy and physiology. For those who have taken it, how essential would you say BIO 240 is for the B side? What's the workload like for the course?
I'm a freshman bio major. Debating if I should drop out of one of the following classes: ANT 251 (biological anthropological) or NTR 301 (nutrition). Anthropology is an in person class that meets 2x a week and the professor seems pretty strict. Nutrition is an online class. With both of these classes, I'll be at 17 credits which I think will be too much for my first semester. Any opinions on which class to keep/drop and which one will be more helpful for my major?
