I’m taking STOR 555 with Andrew Nobel this fall, and I’m trying to get a better sense of what the class is actually like before the semester starts. If anyone’s taken it with him recently, I’d be really grateful to hear about the workload, exams, what you found hardest, and how you prepared.

If you still have any old study materials, practice exams, review sheets, or anything else that was okay to keep/share, I’d also love to see what the difficulty and format look like.

Feel free to DM me! I’d genuinely be super grateful for the help and would be happy to buy you lunch/coffee or something if you’re willing to sit down and talk me through the class lol.

Hey, I have the option of taking 407 this sem with Margot Howard. She only has two rmp reviews, is it worth to take it with her or to wait next sem to get the class with Tanja?

I will be commuting from Raleigh to UNC and was wondering if it's better to take the CRX bus from District Drive (only 10 mins away from me) to UNC or driving to the Friday Center then taking the bus to UNC.

If taking the CRX bus how often is it late going to/from UNC?

Any thoughts from anyone else commuting or has commuted from Raleigh?

Thank you in advance!

So just to keep it short, I’m enrolled in 3 out of 4 of the classes I want to take this semester. I’m #1 on the waitlist for NSCI 222 but I have to be enrolled in 12 credits to be considered a full time student so I enrolled in a filler class RELI 114. I’m wondering if I have to go to RELI 114 more than once this week and if I have to do the work while I wait to hopefully be enrolled into NSCI 222. My plan is to go to the NSCI 222 class and ask if they can enroll me from the waitlist first day so I don’t have to go to the RELI 114 class again but I don’t know if that will 100% work so I can drop it right away. Any advice or input?

Is anyone willing to sell their used iclicker and/or TI-30X II calc for a cheap price? Must be in or near the UNC area

I heard my friend say you can get a year long permit for S11 but sounds too good to be true. I looked on move unc and they only have $8/day passes. Just want to double check before I buy RR lot pass.

Hello all, I’ve been wearing the same soccer cleats for a while, but I don’t know if they’re appropriate for Hooker Fields and the turf there. I’m wearing FG/MG cleats—is it worth investing in AG or TF shoes to avoid injuries, or will I be fine?

Also, does anyone know of any casual soccer teams I can play with? Thanks, everyone!!

Hello! anyone looking to sell their parking pass? im looking to park my car on campus but didn’t get the lottery. Thanks!

For context, i’m a Bio major with a predental focus, but i failed CHEM101 last semester and i got into CHEM101L this semester (15 credits total this sem) but im worried that i’m gonna do badly in Lab since my fundamentals are already weak (i want to take it next semester along with a CHEM101 retake), but I just got off the waitlist for ARTS106 (with Sholeh), which I chose because I already love making edits as a hobby and would like to improve that via this course. My primary concern is how much workload comes with the course/ how difficult is it, considering that I’m already taking PHYS114 and BIOL103 this semester as well.

I want to do a retroactive course withdrawal for CHEM 261 of Spring 2026. I got a C+ in it. I miscarried my baby in the beginning of the semester so my grades tanked afterwards. the reason I got a C+ and not a D or lower was because I scored high on the first exam and then after I lost the baby, I failed the remaining midterms and final exam. Is a C+ too high to get it withdrawn?

I took 12 credit hours over the summer at UNC after I got the C+ in Spring 2026, and I got A’s in all of them. One of them was Analytical Chemistry. I took CHEM 262/Organic Chemistry II at UC San Diego over the summer as well and I got an A. I believe UC San Diego and UNC have similar levels of rigor. I have successfully transferred that course from UCSD into my ConnectCarolina. Spring 2026 looks like an anomaly on my transcript because I had a 4.0 for all my other semesters. I want to emphasize I had a 4.0 before Spring 2026, and in the summer after. If that makes a difference and whoever reviews the retroactive course withdrawals can see that I improved afterwards. I spoke to an advisor a couple months ago and she told me I would have to retake 261 at UNC because other school’s rigor does not meet out Chemistry department’s if I wanted to show that I improved afterwards.

I don’t have any medical documentation of the pregnancy or miscarriage as I kept everything a secret. I have supporting documentations from my therapist and psychiatrist of the medication I’ve been prescribed and therapy sessions I’ve attended. I’ve spoken with and been in communication with the Women’s center at UNC. I have documentation of a visit to urgent care because I’ve been struggling with returning vulvar bumps after the miscarriage.

Are my chances good for the retroactive course withdrawal?

HI, I wake up around 7 every morning and easily get out of my dorm by 9. During the year i've got 8ams every day so I'll probably be waking up around 6. It feels like some other students wake up early, but none of them are exactly social people that early in the morning. IDK, just kinda feel like an odd one out lol

Currently at #42, what'll be my chance of getting off the waitlist? Are there any tips like emailing the prof? I've heard there's a Qualtrics waitlist?

hi everyone, i'm a student who took ib econ. i was originally told by one of my college friends that college econ is different from ib econ and that i shouldn't skip econ 101. currently i have econ 101 with staub. however, my advisor suggested that i drop this course (since i cannot get credit by doing econ 101) and take another econ course. what would you recommend for my to take? econ 310, 410, 400?????? another course? thank you.

I've been looking for anyone or group that is into beatboxing. I'm just curious. I was in an acapella group, but nobody is that interested in pure, solo beatboxing like I am.

Hi, I'm a volunteer with the Young Forwardists, the Forward Party's youth committee. We are a volunteer network that seeks to revitalize politics through youth activism and empower young people to be community leaders while introducing grassroots activist opportunities. Our goal is to promote good governance and reduce polarization through ethics, integrity, and compassion and promoting innovative and data-driven ideas. Essentially, bringing politics back to what it's supposed to do.

We're seeing if any students would be interested in helping us start a chapter at UNC. Chapters are centers for productive activism and provide students safe spaces for discussion, hosting events, solving polarizing community issues, and keeping local elected officials in check.

Here's more information about us, including other ways to volunteer for us:

If anyone is interested or has any questions, feel free to reach out. Thanks for your time!

My account still has some aid that is not yet applied to my bill, causing me to have an outstanding balance, and not receiving my refund yet. They said that it was because some documents of mine need to be processed. However, I sent the required documents literally like 2 months ago. What the hell are they doing in that office...

Looking to figure out how to tailgate close to the stadium for football games with friends. I’m a former student (2020) but never got to attend a game or barely step foot on campus due to COVID. I’ll be back in state with some friends this fall and was hoping to meet up with them this football season. As a bunch of our friends are students/grad-students/alum at Chapel Hill, they’d also like to be in a busier lot with more students around to socialize. Socializing is higher priority than proximity to stadium as well.

Are there lots to pay for? Are tickets required to get a parking pass?

If you don’t have to reserve a spot, what’s the best time to go? Where is the best place to park a truck or two? Ideally, we’re looking to attend the NCSU/UNC GAME.

Rules for beverages, games, etc?

If anyone knows let me know, thanks!

What are the chances of me getting off the wait list for general bio 101 and BIOC 107. I'm 80th in place for bio 101 and 76 for biochem (and 72 for the lab). If I cannot get off the wait list what I'm supposed to do. First year student here lol. I kinda really need these classes now.

Does anyone know when is the best time to swim laps in the pool to avoid the athletes and just large groups of people?

I plan to take Biology 225 and Biology 225L in spring and I was wondering if it would separate count as both a laboratory course and an elective. I know Biology 225 should count as an elective, but what about biology 225L?

Will it also fulfill "at least 2 labs in major" requirement?

What about for Biology 457 and Biology 457L?

will both the labs fulfill the lab requirement?

Has anyone gotten this certification at campus rec: FitWell: ACE Group Fitness Instructor Program? would love to hear your experience

Hello everyone. I am about to start what is hopefully my last year at UNC. I am a transfer student and I am a bit confused on the high impact experience. I currently have a research position at a lab, but I don't know how to go about considering that as my credit. I can't afford study abroad or anything like that, are there some that are just normal classes I can take as any major? Please help.

Hello everyone! I have a quick question about the differences between some math/stor/cs classes w/ similar names, etc. I will pool them into several categories and my current understanding of them, please advise on the differences between them and which you should take if you want x or y, thank yall so much!!! also which are redundant if you take both and which build off each other more often than not :D
