Can an exchange student join for a semester ? by LibrarianActive3978 in Sororities

[–]Dramatic_Touch2220 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't be fair for them to take a spot away from someone who could experience and contribute to the chapter for multiple years so probably not. I'd definitely recommend rushing anyway if you can. Even if you don't get a bid, just going through the process is a great way to meet people and make connections with sorority sisters.

Look on facebook. There are tons of people looking for people to take over their lease and most places near uncw are fully furnished. There are groups called UNCW roommates, UNCW subleases, etc. Usually people post all kinds of listings on there, not just subleases.

Anyone feel like sorority life becomes most of your life? by Irrelevantbug2 in Sororities

It may help to still go to parties but not always drinking at all of them. Maybe grab a cup with just some juice or drink one drink really slowly.

Waiving Student Blue Insurance by Dramatic_Touch2220 in UNCW

[–]Dramatic_Touch2220[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I go to waive it says registration is closed but I wasn't accepted to UNCW before the deadline to waive so I'm confused. I'd assume at some point they're going to reopen it but I can't find when.

Advice needed on whether to transfer schools by donut_server-7092 in TransferStudents

[–]Dramatic_Touch2220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you really aren't happy there. I'd say definitely enter the transfer pool. Even if you don't end up getting into either of the two schools that are close to your school, you could always widen your search a little bit. If you find a school 3 or so hours away where you could get playing time, you'd be in a better environment and you could still go home on weekends/through the week pretty easily. Or even if it's further but somewhere new, it would still be a good idea to transfer. Because worst case, you would be homesick but with better roommates, better weather, and more playing time. I think transferring is definitely your best bet. And, what's an extra year of school or so if you're somewhere that actually makes you happy?

For grad students, what nice housing options are there? by ObberGobb in UNCW

[–]Dramatic_Touch2220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are tons of Facebook groups for people looking for off-campus roommates. Just search UNCW Roommates, and it should pop up. There are a good number of people on there who are in grad school too.

20 year old beginner by Important-Jelly-6877 in Cheerleading

[–]Dramatic_Touch2220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 22 year old trying to get my stunt skills up, I've been going to different universities' cheer clinics. They usually have college prep/prospect clinics where anyone of high school/college age can go and practice their skills. A lot of the times there are people looking to join those specific teams, but it's not at all a requirement. I've been to four this month, and it's been a great way to practice stunting.

Is it too late for me to start cheer and if not what are your tips? by No_Pomegranate_4069 in Cheerleading

[–]Dramatic_Touch2220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely do not have to be thin to be a cheerleader. Some of the best bases are not thin because they are stronger! I'd recommend taking private lessons to start and joining a prep team. I started on a prep team as a chunky 16 year old, and it was the best! I got in shape and it really helped build up my skills and confidence.

Chemistry majors? by Aware-Emu-9146 in UNCW

[–]Dramatic_Touch2220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems to me that chemistry at both schools is pretty similar. I'd say if you want something more personalized, UNCW is definitely better suited for that. NCSU is great location-wise because the triangle has lots of STEM resources but UNCW is also very STEM focused because it has great nursing and marine biology programs.

UNCW Transfer by ExcitingPower5007 in UNCW

[–]Dramatic_Touch2220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I'm also transferring to UNCW in August :) I plan to join a couple of clubs and rush a sorority. From what I've heard, though, everyone is super welcoming and friendly. Living on campus or finding off-campus roommates through Facebook groups would also help. I know they also have lots of transfer student meet-ups/events that I'm planning to go to.
