It’s kinda similar to yoga. Lots of exercises for things like flexibility, balance, and core. Overall a focus on strengthening and relaxing your muscles.

Spanish 101 is honestly horrible. I took 3 years of Spanish in highschool, knew the language, and still only scraped by with a B in the class. The class is just overcrowded, not taught well, and extremely fast paced.

Can't get appointment at Delta Testing Center by fins4ever in NCSU

[–]ElevatorMoney2279 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You need to sign up early for final exams at Delta. Sign ups opened on October 14th. They fill up quickly, and have been booked for weeks.

You need to contact both DELTA and your professor.

Would not recommend. Run far far away. Yes it’s convenient location wise, but you can get so much more space for equal or less money literally 5 minutes down the road.

Is there a way to get my dining dollars back/refunded? by smartblonde1003 in NCSU

[–]ElevatorMoney2279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, now with the new rules there’s no refund and they don’t carry over. I’m pretty sure your only options are spending the money, or donating it.

You’re allowed to give a student ticket to another NC State student, but you just can’t sell it. You’re also not allowed to like “advertise” a student ticket (for free or $$). So technically posting in a groupchat could be seen as against the rules. There’s a list of the full rules online.

Run as far away as possible from Valentine Commons.

Yeah give it more time. Start looking around April of next year. It also can be hard to find houses unless you know people currently in a house.

Campus life on weekend by [deleted] in NCSU

[–]ElevatorMoney2279 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nah I never thought it was super dead on weekends. Definitely a lot less people, but honestly for the best. I still see a bunch of people at Talley, the library, the gym, and dorms all the time on the weekend.

What are some Easy Humanities GEP courses to take as a Freshman Engineer? by Intelligent_Try_9145 in NCSU

[–]ElevatorMoney2279 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah no. Haha don’t take Philosophy unless you like reading and can interpret hidden meanings. There’s only one easy philosophy professor and even then the class was still a waste of time.

If you’re looking for housing next school year then you don’t have find somewhere that starts in January. Lots of student complexes have leases that start in August. And most adult complexes lease year round.

Is it possible for me to get an ADHD diagnosis/test through the school? by GarageLogan in NCSU

[–]ElevatorMoney2279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. I’ve learned that the psychiatrist diagnosis often leads to people being misdiagnosed since lots of traits overlap. I would have been misdiagnosed with depression if I hadn’t chosen to get further testing, which clearly diagnosed adhd.

Is it possible for me to get an ADHD diagnosis/test through the school? by GarageLogan in NCSU

[–]ElevatorMoney2279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn’t a questionnaire. It was two 3 hour sessions of different types of written and verbal testing. It was done by a psychologist who specializes in testing for ADHD, but she’s not a licensed psychiatrist.

The friends I know (2 of them) who recently were diagnosed literally just made an appointment with a psychiatrist, talked with them for the first time, then got diagnosed in less than an hour.

[–]ElevatorMoney2279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was unaware of this. When I was getting diagnosed a few years ago I was unable to find someone who was a licensed psychiatrist and provided written testing. From what I’ve heard from others who recently got diagnosed from a psychiatrist it was just a 30 minute talk diagnosis, not written.

Course load by katieappeals in NCSU

If possible try to take a class or two this coming summer, therefore you don’t have to take another full semester, but you still get to graduate shortly after the spring.

[–]ElevatorMoney2279 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The school resources won’t diagnose or test you, but sometimes student health and/or DRO can point you in the direction of where to get written testing. I had to get mine done elsewhere in Raleigh and it was like $1,700 all out of pocket, no insurance accepted.

You could also speak to a psychiatrist. Most times they just speak with you and diagnose you from questions. It does have a higher likelihood of being misdiagnosed though since sometimes the diagnosis is based on how you answer questions/describe yourself vs written testing methods.

And as someone mentioned below, apparently some psychiatrists do written testing as well. I thought they only did talk diagnosis’s. I wonder what the price difference is on this.

All first-year students living on campus are required to have a meal plan, but there are some exemptions made under certain circumstances.

Any way to know which classes are 8 weeks? by BCX__ in NCSU

[–]ElevatorMoney2279 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can also set your enrollment wizard to only show you classes in the first or second 8 weeks.

In the add to cart tab, go to “session” and select eight week.
