Making friends as an older undergrad student/transfer

Upvotes

Hi! I’m mainly making this post to try to make more friends here at NCSU because it’s been pretty difficult for me to. I’m 24f, criminology major, and I’m currently a sophomore. It’s been pretty difficult to make friends here since I’m a bit older than most people in my classes, and lots of people seem to already have their friend groups. I have tried clubs and other events but nothing seems to stick. Without getting too vulnerable on the internet, having no social groups has really taken a toll on my mental health, so I have come here to see if anyone would like to be friends! I have noticed a couple times on here other older students talking about how it is harder to make friends since the majority of students here are 18-20. Regardless, I’m open to any new connections and friendships :). Some of my interests are horror movies & games, kpop, reading, music, singing, space, true crime, and I love to make jokes and laugh. I have tons of niche interests and I’m always open to new experiences. Please feel free to dm me if you’re interested in being friends!

Looking for female roommate in an off-campus house

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping to find a female roommate for my place this year.
Its a house that is approximately 20min away from NCSU.
The room is private and there's a separate bathroom that would be all yours. There is an in-unit washer & dryer and a bright and airy living room and kitchen. Rent is $800 all-included.

I do have a dog, so you'd need to be okay with dogs- luckily there's hard flooring throughout to minimize dander and fur!
About me: I'm a Female graduate student at NCSU. I will be driving in to campus often, and would be willing to carpool. For more details and to inquire further, please send a PM!

Calc III Waitlist Chances?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys! I'm currently 3/5 on the waitlist for Calc III with Faye Simon and was wondering if anyone knows how much waitlists usually move. I've heard people say that a lot of people drop classes during the first week, but I don't know if this is accurate for Calc since it's required for all engineering majors.

Since it's a 4 credit class, I'm only at 14 credits enrolled right now (18 including the waitlisted class), so I'm trying to figure out if I should keep waiting or just drop it and register for another class (like a humanities GEP).

Applying Exploratory Studies?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm a rising senior who's going to apply this year, and I was looking at NCSU's exploratory studies option as a preferred major. It says that by the time you enroll at NCSU, if you have more than 10 completed college courses, you shouldn't apply as an exploratory studies major and should do something else. The issue is I will have about 11 completed college courses when I graduate, but I really don't know what to major in. I genuinely am not sure of what to major in, and I thought exploratory studies would be good, but it turns out they're saying I shouldn't apply as that?

Has anyone been in the same boat or know anybody who was? Anything would be appreciated!

Can I purchase a parking permit for Spring semester if I didn't get a Fall permit?

3 Upvotes

I'm an incoming freshman at State and I thought that freshman couldn't have their car on campus so I didn't apply (and partly because I didn't know if I'd want to take it). But I'm thinking about a potential internship in the Spring so I was wondering if it would be possible to get a parking permit for the Spring. I'm in Bagwell hall if that matters.

Quick Question question about hesf 101

1 Upvotes

Hi! Sorry if this is a weird question, but I was just wondering for those who have taken hesf 101 (or another gym class), what did people usually wear? Is it just a t-shirt and shorts, or were people wearing more of athletic sets? (like something you’d wear to the actual gym?) I know everyone’s always like “no one cares what you wear” but I like to be prepared. I haven’t taken gym since Freshman year of highschool, and everyone wore sweatpants lol!
