Yeah, CALS! What major Khant? What are halls are yall trying to live in? The reason I ask is because I will be one of the new RAs for the Fall, not sure where yet though. I get my final offers on Monday, so we will see.

Best of luck everyone

hmm..thats pretty sweet...I am still waiting on the UNC decision. if i go to NCSU, i'll be doing biochem.

pridesurfer, what's your major? And, also, how would you rate CALS at NCSU..i mean NCSU is great and all for eng. but what about biology, and chemistry and all that??

and also, what hall would you recommend?

Pride_Surfer · 02-02-2008, 01:50 PM

I am a Biological Sciences major, and minoring in health, medicine, and human values (one minor). I am not just saying this because I am in CALS but it is the BEST. The faculty will help you get where you want to go (internships, study abroad, research) and we have sooo much funding in our department. Bio is a very difficult major at State b/c you are with so many pre-med students (such as myself) but I have learned A LOT already. The labs are VERY intensive. We usually do a few disections each lab, analyze cell samples in animal blood, DNA analysis, etc. There is also a common belief that CALS has all the money and that is why we get so much free stuff (t-shirts, bottles, food, fun events, etc.) Go State, go CALS, forget Carolina - I am glad I did.

Also, for the hall style, get on east campus if you can. They have the BEST halls. I am in Sullivan (west campus) and it looks old and dirty. My fav residence hall is avent ferry (have own bathroom, is big, and looks nice) but it is further away than most halls - BUT, there is a bus that shuttles every 5 minutes in the morning so you don't have to walk the extra quarter of a mile each day. Also consider any of the Quads.

unc please!!! · 02-03-2008, 08:24 PM

Is University towers worth the cost? My parents said that they would pay for it, but I feel bad. Is it that much better than on campus dorms?
Also, I know people say that you don't really need a car in college. Is that true? I don't like the idea of being stuck on campus. PRICE for Parking???

PackMom · 02-04-2008, 02:18 PM

unc...My S (a JR)would definitely say "no" to University Towers. When he visited friends there, he didn't think it had much of an advantage over the regular dorms and the bigger downsides are that it's off to itself (not grouped with other dorms) and since you pay for the UT mealplan, you don't buy a NCSU meal plan which means that eating in Fountain or Clark dining halls with your on-campus friends will cost you a lot of extra money so you usually just end up always eating with the people in UT. That's his opinion. I'm sure others may vary. S lived on Central Campus and loved it there....very convenient to the free expression tunnel.

S took his car as a freshman and was glad he had it but it's not cheap. since freshmen can't get on-campus parking stickers, you have to get an off-campus space. If you really want to take your car, I would suggest Val-Park. It's the one we used and is very close to campus. It is right by University Towers. They have a website..www.valpark.com

Pride_Surfer · 02-04-2008, 10:30 PM

University Towers is a "no-no"... everyone I know hates it
except for the fact they have a pool. Being a freshmen, I would really recommend central campus (unless you're ambitious enough to go east campus for Honors - they do have the best halls). I did not have a car this year and it has really been fine. If you need to go somewhere, take a bus (free) or ride with a friend. Unless your family is made of money, it isn't necessary to have your car (although it is a big change)
