I was able to get a spot reserved at the rosemary street garage for 1700$ for the entire academic year (haven’t paid yet). Do yall think it’s worth it to have a car on campus first year? Obviously wouldn’t use it for campus transportation, but more so going into Durham and Raleigh. I’m just afraid I’ll be board and run out of things to do on the weekends.

Hi! I have orientation tomorrow and I brought my backpack and laptop, but it’s going to be very hot so I don’t know if I can carry it around all day. I know I need to Day 2 for meetings and stuff, but do I really need to carry it around for Day 1? Will I be fine with a little bag with water, iPhone, and a fan?

i'm kind of not sure what else to take. i'm aiming to get into bme program, so i also need these credits. it would be nice to keep my gpa high, so idk how bad of a decision this would be. filled the rest of my schedule with some easy (from what i've seen online) gen eds

TL;DR If anyone still has their iClickers from the college days and is willing to donate them or sell it for like $1 PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I'm a public school teacher trying to collect a set. Ask your friends!

Hi!! I'm currently a high school teacher and am trying to acquire a set of iClickers (at a low low cost) for my classroom of about 25. I have students with learning disabilities and my honors kids in the same class, and it's typically advantageous in group work but hard to see day-to-day progress without hand grading 120 exit tickets! This will be helpful to answer anonymously to the class and quickly sort data. Most don't use them after graduation and I do know you could make 15 bucks on FB Marketplace, but I'm hoping some people are willing to part with them to invest in a good cause :) TIA!

Hey guys! I am in a incoming junior transfer student. I was able to get on campus housing, but I had to go random, because I don't know anyone at UNC. Well I got my roommate and tried emailing her, but no response. Is that a good or bad sign??? Can I try to switch roommates if I meet someone else?

I just took the level 2 spanish placement test after taking 3 years of spanish in high school. According to the table I would be placed into Span 203 based on my score. Is there a place to confirm this in ConnectCarolina? I don't see anything under the test scores or test credit area.

i'm an incoming freshman, and i wanna go ahead and get my lfit out of the way. im hoping to do weight training or swimming. but, the class search shows that there are only 2/11 openings.

are these classes difficult to get during registration?

am i missing something, because swimming or soccer, or pilates, and sand volleyball sound like so much fun, is there a lecture part of it, or do we just get to have fun and do the activity? and can i pick more than one and just stack fun credits

my registration is coming up and none of my credits have been transferred so i don't know which classes to take according to the ones that may have already transferred (i don't want to retake a class that might have transferred from my dual enrollment). someone help. any staff know anything about this??

first time going through class registration---are the open seats indicated on the class search accurate rn? i register on monday and like all of these classes say that they're nearly full, but most of them are 1/4 or 2/7 seats open. is this accurate?

i dont wanna add nearly full classes to my shopping cart, but i also cant imagine calc 2 only has like 12 people.

Should I risk signing up for the sections that say the professor is to be announced? Or should it be a backup?

Hey everyone! I’m an incoming UNC student and this is my first time apartment hunting so I’m feeling a little overwhelmed. Right now I’m trying to decide between chapel ridge and shadowood apartments. Chapel ridge is really appealing because I’d have my own bedroom and bathroom, the price is good, a lot of utilities are included, and I don’t have to worry about finding roommates. It sounds great, but everything I see online is negative and I’m not sure how bad the situation is truly. Shadowood looks great too but the only option that fits my situation is splitting a 2bed 2 bath and I would have to find a roommate within the next month and I’m trying to be realistic about that. If anyone’s lived at Chapel Ridge recently is it bad like stay away at all cost bad or bad like annoying sometimes but you could manage for the price?

I have done everything on the first year checklist and all my final transcripts are in, and I've completed Carolina Countdown. Some sections of the UNC site are saying to complete a pre-orientation advising session and to complete modules. I have no idea where any of this is. When do we get assigned an advisor? is most of this stuff explained well at orientation or should I already know this info...

I live at the villages of chapel hill. The water is shut off constantly because they’re doing repairs. It’s been 3 times in the last two weeks. Yesterday, they sent an email before 11am, saying they had to shut off the water for emergency repairs and it would be turned back on in 4 hours. It was not, it is still out. We have had no water for nearly 24 hours. To top it off, 16 exterior AC units were stolen last Friday, and have yet to be replaced. So we have no AC AND no water. My cat is miserable, I’m miserable. I have two aquatic frogs and I keep having to replace their water with refrigerated water I keep having to purchase because their tank water keeps reaching 90 degrees, and I don’t want them to suffer or die. This is a miserable situation, and I want to warn everyone against renting here. It took months after I moved in before I could even take a shower in this place. The water pressure was too low to even run the upstairs shower. I had to boil water, carry it upstairs, and put it in the bathtub to even bathe. Can anyone advise me on what to do about this?

Thank you

I'm planning to take math 381 (discrete) + math 383 (diff eq) + comp 110 + engl 105 in the same semester along with LFIT 113 (weight training). how difficult is this to get a 4.0 as a cs + math major and any professor recs?? i heard discrete is way too hard so im lowk scared of taking both math same sem.

So I have to pass the chem placement exam this semester or else I’m totally screwed. There are no safety nets for me like I have to pass this exam, except I’ve never taken AP chem. Therefore, I’m learning the entire course in just about a month. I’m familiar with teaching myself a course but I feel like I’m learning in the dark because I have no clue what the exam is even testing me on. Different schools have different curriculums so idk the standard here. Does anyone have advice for studying and passing the exam? How bad was it? Was it fair?

Please any help would be great
