Anyone have any input on bio 183? Haven't taken a bio class since freshman year of high school, so worried I'll be a little rusty, but 183 is a big prerequisite for a lot of classes I wanna take. Is it a "hard" class to take if you're rusty on bio?

I believe she's a new lecturer, thinking about taking a course with her next semester. If anyone has insight since she has no rate my professor page yet, I would appreciate it.

just watched some girl get nearly pulverized on the crosswalk by some dickhead speeding and running a red light. you could literally hear the screech of the brakes because he was going so fast. and then he got really offended and told me he'd "beat my ass" when I shouted at him to not run red lights lmfao. 🤏🤏

Is political science a competitive major to get into?

Thanks

Hey yall, I’m a grad student and a huge part of my research is reconstructing fossils and modeling the muscles of these fossils. I wanted to know if there were any Blender wizards out there that would be willing to help me make my modeled muscles stretch in a plausible manner. I’d greatly appreciate it and our lab space is pretty dope!

hello!

i am a first year student considering double majoring in animal science and FWCB.

however, i don’t want to impact my GPA heavily. i wanted to ask for others’ experiences in the FWCB courses to see difficulty level of them, as i want to make sure i can manage both. also, tell me about your experiences in the major! :)

for context, i have all my electives and courses completed due to transfer credits except for my animal science major courses. i wanted to pick up another major to extend my time here.

which eng 332 prof is the best and a+ will be attainable

idk if this will resonate with anyone but if it does for even one person then i’ve done my job. i graduated high school in 2023 and should’ve been a senior this year, but alas i only just now transferred and still have until 2028. i wanted to be a dentist since i was 14, even worked as a dental assistant, then in my second year at CC i switched to hygiene for two semesters (why i’m a year behind now) i then decided to go back to pre dental and finished out my associates ending up at state in a STEM major. TLDR: i had a serious come to jesus after one of my exams and realized i was completely torturing myself for the past 3 years with all these hard courses just for the label of being a doctor and the social status. my grandparents built their life from the ground up and they’ve always been my inspiration, and to have even half the drive my grandpa does has always been my goal. and now, in what should be my second to last semester of undergrad, i’m switching to business admin (finance) and diving in head first. (which will delay me from spring 2028 to fall 2028, i’m planning to go abroad spring 2028) so yea, if you ever feel like it’s “too late” to change your mind or you’re behind everyone else, just think of me lol.

I was wondering what my chances would be. I have a 3.8 UW and a 4.28 W GPA but I also took some pretty hard rigor courses and moved to NC right before high school, so I was forced to take all regular classes my freshman year.

I have a 1530 sat with a 770 math, and a 34 act with a perfect science and reading.

For ECs, I founded and currently captain (and am the CAD lead and finance lead of) the first FRC team in my county. We've competed two seasons already and qualified for states in both but didn't go due to financial issues. We also hosted a competition in our second competitive season, and are hosting again this year.

I also was a finalist for an app building competition, am VP of a competitive speech and debate branch, and have won several awards in mock trial. I also tutored on schoolhouse and reached 6 countries (I think), and I've been volunteering regularly at my local library for about 2 and a half years now.

My recs are good, not amazing; I have my robotics coach, my ap physics teacher, and my ap lang/ap lit teacher.

What are my chances of getting in? My class rank isn't amazing, and I wasn't sure if my standardized testing and ECs would offset it. I want to apply for Mech E.

I’m a first-year EE major at UNC Charlotte. I have junior standing by credit hours from AP and community college classes. I just got an offer for Duke Energy’s Transmission Engineering co-op for Spring 2027 (P&C design, settings, SCADA rotations). They expect co-ops to come back for 2-3 rotations total, and they convert a lot of them to full time.

The problem is that I’m applying to transfer for Fall 2027, to NC State and Georgia Tech for EE. If I take the co-op, I wouldn’t be taking any UNCC classes in the spring before I transfer.

After this fall I’ll have finished all of NC State’s transfer prerequisites, so I’m less worried about them. I’m less sure how Georgia Tech would see a spring without major classes.

If I take the co-op, I’d probably take a class or two online at a community college during the spring. I’m not sure which classes to pick, though. Community colleges mostly offer general classes, so I’d be missing EE courses like Network Theory and Logic Design.

Credit I already have

• AP: Calc AB (4), Calc BC (4), Chem (4), Stats (4), Psych (4), English Lang (4), Bio (3), APES (3), World History (3)
• Rowan-Cabarrus CC: ECO 251, ECO 252, ENG 111, ENG 112, ENG 241, MAT 143, ART 111
• Vance-Granville CC: MAT 273 (Calc III)

Fall 2026 at UNCC (in progress)

• Differential Equations
• Physics I + lab
• ENGR 1300, 1302, 1303 (intro engineering, computing, CAD)
• PHIL 1512

Spring 2027 plan if I don’t take the co-op

• Physics II
• Network Theory (circuits)
• Logic Design
• Linear Algebra
• Probability and Statistics for Engineers
• Computer Programming

What I’m trying to figure out

1. Since my NC State prereqs will be done after this fall, does skipping a semester of major classes still hurt my application there?
2. For Georgia Tech, would a spring with only community college classes hurt me, especially if I haven’t done all their required courses yet?
3. If I do take CC classes online during the co-op, what would actually help a transfer application? Linear Algebra or Physics II, if I can find them online, or just gen eds?
4. Would a Duke co-op on my application help enough to make up for missing a semester of major classes?
5. If I transfer to Raleigh or Atlanta, can I realistically keep doing rotations in Charlotte (probably summers)?
6. If you did a co-op this early, was it worth delaying classes?

I’m into power systems and want to expierence the industry . I just don’t want to wreck the transfer by taking it. Would love to hear from anyone who’s done a co-op at Duke or another utility, or transferred into NC State or GT engineering.

Long story short, I graduate in May, started a minor a few semesters ago to boost engineering GPA. Already have a job offer to start upon graduation and am continuing to do engineering work part time. I’m currently in a class for the minor and I have bad senioritis and only care about passing my required classes. I just switched it to S/U, does this mean I can just do nothing for that class and take the U?

I have been having a pretty rough time finding friends to hang out with outside of class here at NC State. A lot of my old friends at other colleges have been having easy times making their and I’ve been getting FOMO ig. I think one of the issues is that I get along best I think with theater and arts people since they usually have similar interests and values but I’m not really as involved in that stuff anymore lol.
I’ve been feeling pretty lonely and have been wanting to have a friend group here though I know that takes time. I just wanted to see if there were any other freshmen struggling with this issue and wanted to make friends?

A little about me is I enjoy stuff like video games and I’m open to play a lot of them!, shows like jojos bizarre adventure, I’m into paleontology (I’ve been to the club) and a lot of other pretty nerdy stuff
Lmk if you want to talk!

So I’m almost 20 and want to start taking college seriously, and I was looking at UNC as one of my options because it’s much closer than NC State (I’m in Hillsborough) But after walking on Franklin street, I’m not sure if it’s worth it anymore. It was honestly pretty overwhelming and I didn’t really feel as safe as a woman there with the homeless people. Not trying to judge homeless people, but some of them are not mentally well and I had one guy just yelling violent stuff as I walked by. The old buildings are beautiful but I don’t know if it’s really worth that. What is NC State like in comparison to UNC? I was already looking at NC State because I was looking into engineering, but I want to make sure it’s worth it. How are the dorms/apartments, how is the social life, and is there anything they do better than UNC?

Hello, let me start off by saying I’m writing this for my partner who really wants to get into the Natural Sciences program. We’re both seniors, and he has a 4.0 UNWEIGHTED GPA and a 4.36 WEIGHTED GPA. He’s writing his personal essay and doing his applications and he’s worried about not being accepted into the program. He has 31 logged hours of volunteer work (probably more like 93 total) from working with a sea turtle organization, his extracurriculars are 5 years of marching band and 4 spanish classes + AP spanish. He’s also unsure if he needs a letter of recommendation. I want to help him as much as possible so any help is appreciated!!!!

For context- I got admitted for Political Science public policy but am trying to fit Coda requirements to be able to switch it to BA with a concentration in Finance. I got admitted in March but am a spring connect student so this Spring will be my first semester. I took a lot of dual enrollment classes during high school so I have over 40 credits complete already. Does this schedule look like a good one to get me into Poole? And does it look manageable enough? What should I change?

If you are riding an electric scooter on campus -- sidewalk or street -- please slow down. I cannot count the number of times I have been nearly run over by an electric scooter this semester, despite looking both ways. People come speeding out of nowhere.

Please slow down.

Hoping anyone has some updated info about this program. Course load, class work, etc. I know it’s recommend for working professionals with a couple years of experience. How much of difference has that made for you. Also how is the chemistry. I see a lot of the core classes prerequisites is chemistry. It’s not my strongest subject so i’m worried about that aspect. TIA!

all I keep seeing are flyers for 10$ parties that look like they'll get shot up but I don't know anyone that's into parties anyone know of any I can attend ?

Hey everyone! I’m a first-year trans-man at NC State and I’m considering auditioning for Slaughter House Five. For those of you who are in University Theatre/seen a production/any other relation to UT, is it worthwhile to audition for a part of the opposite sex? I see on the script and character sheet that a lot of the characters say “male-identifying actor,” so I know that means it’s inclusive to all sexes, but is it likely to still get the role even as a trans guy? Or should I just audition for one of the female roles? I have short hair but I have a slightly feminine leaning voice, so idk that I’m really what they’re looking for. I just want some guidance/suggestions on if I have an equal shot at getting cast auditioning for a male role as a female role. Thank you for your help! Sorry if this post is a bit of a ramble, I’m very nervous.

TLDR: I just want some guidance/suggestions on if I have an equal shot at getting cast auditioning for a male role as a female role.

Hi everyone,

Would love to get in touch with someone who transferred to College of Education, NCSU

This is probably a weird question here, but my birthday is coming up and I've been wanting to try one for a while to see what the experience is like. Does anyone have any good recommendations for locations and specific services?

(I'm asking here and not in the raleigh sub because I don't have a car so my best reliable distance is like 1.5 miles from campus or on the goraleigh bus system)

Hello all. Was wondering if anyone knows a community college where PY 205-206 is offered online in the spring semester? Or is this even possible? I’ve read others saying they did it over the summer but I can’t do that because of a co op I’ve done recently and already have a lot of classes planned for the summer. If anyone has any recommendations, I’d greatly appreciate it, thx .
