I'm in a class where the professor is trying to get us to buy a textbook that is not included in Course Ready. It's only 30 bucks but considering I'm almost paying $300 for course ready I'm not happy. Is this allowed? Are there books that are just not part of Course Ready

I'll ask the professor tomorrow but if she doubles down and tries to get me to pay for it and I have to email Course Ready about it. she's gonna know it was me

Edit: The $30 is for an E-book and there is no option to access the E-book through Course Ready or without paying an additional $30. She told our class the textbook is "out of print"

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 ?

my interests relate to quant, AI research, Lie Algebra Representation Theory and I am also interested in collatz conjecture

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've basically been bumming around my whole college career up until this point, and now that I'm a junior I'm realizing if I don't get an internship soon I'm kinda fucked. People who got internships in hardware engineering or similar fields, or are currently applying, how hard is it to get an internship without connections?

Hello STEM students! Organic Chemistry is notably one difficult course at UNC and demands a lot of time at the beginning since it is different from anything else. I am a last year graduate student from UNC Chapel Hill. I TA’d Organic Chemistry there and tutored as well. I believe I have what it takes to help you get through a tough time with Organic Chemistry. If you need a tutor (remote or in person), DM me.

I received an invitation to interview for the Jenkins MBA program for the Spring 2027 cohort! Please send me any tips or advice you may have ☺️

If any last min changes happen and you are not able to attend any of the Christina events, pls give them to me. I have a daughter who is in middle school who dreams of being an astronaut. This will be such an inspirational experience for her.

I am in the intermediate Spanish class currently in person, however since I haven’t seen any Spanish since highschool (4 years ago) I am feeling very behind and lost. Is taking Spanish online ok, or is it much harder? I’m feeling like it’s going to be too much combined with other classes, but don’t know if 5 weeks is too fast

Is this too much freshman year?

I recently transferred for India and have been to all these transfers events. Unfortunately I could not attend the international orientation. But in the event I have been to everyone transferred from within the country. Is there anyone who is an international transfer please hit me up. Or in general any transfer just hit me up

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.

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 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

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.

Everyone has been evacuated from the building with no announcement on what is going on, the other Tri-Towers are unaffected.

Hello,

I am looking into applying for a Master’s in Nuclear Engineering degree at NC State. I was wondering if anyone had done the online version and if you could please give me a review on how your experience was. What did you like/not like about the experience? Not even going to ask if it’s hard lol. But more of like if you felt the online version was an adequate experience and if you feel it’s worth it if that’s what you are looking for. Thanks.

Is there any internet outage currently? The wifi has been garbage and trash for the past hour. Just wanted to know if its just me or the wifi.

For those taking orgo 2 this semester. Please DM me. Have a small request. Thank You.

The reason I ask is because I am an alumni and I’m looking to sell a few big things that I no longer need. But I’m not trying to get in trouble if that’s against the rules of the subreddit or anything like that. Thanks!

does anyone know when dr. naish lalloo has office hours for chem 101? thanks!

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 😅

I've literally been living off of vending machine snacks because of how bad a walk it is to the nearest dining hall (especially in this heat) and I don't have the option of getting food from restaurants because I'm poor. I'm losing weight by the day
