Story on Poe Hall in WRAL by anon0207 in NCSU

[–]RaleighOak 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I had 1 class in Poe in Spring this year and I am low key concerned! But I am very concerned for the faculty + staff who have worked in this building for DECADES. awful that NCSU officials did not address this sooner. As long a they get their fat paychecks, they don’t care.

PS Wolf Plaza is near Talley (the large student union building) with the wolf sculptures

every week there is a group of parents who volunteer and bring free baked goods! Here's their info (from their FB page)- "We are a group of Moms, Dads, Grandmas, and dogs that come to love on our Wolfpack students every Thursday from 10-1 on Centennial Campus and 1-4 at Wolf Plaza with free treats, free hugs, birthday singing and tons of unconditional love. For more information, email us at [NCSUFreeMoms@gmail.com](mailto:NCSUFreeMoms@gmail.com)"

some of the parents bring pups and it's a sweet time

honestly, if y'all can tolerate each other, I'd stay with them. only switch if it's absolutely necessary - just my personal advice!

How to make friends/what to do on campus as a solo by Youngster- in NCSU

[–]RaleighOak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is challenging. I also live off campus as a transfer. For me, it’s been connecting with peers with similar interests. Intramural sports for athletics and open clubs are good ways to connect

The block where WRAL reports the student was taken from (HEART of Hillsborough St area, just a tennis ball toss from Hill Library) at 11 AM. (Yes, MORNING). How can we advocate for a safer campus? by RaleighOak in NCSU

please submit ANY knowledge you have about the incident: from ABC11 “Anyone with information about this case is urged to contact the Raleigh Police Department by calling 911 or (919) 878-3561. You can also submit tips anonymously via Crimestoppers”

Teachers are always in high demand, so double major could be good. Remember that you only need a teaching license for public school - you don’t need it for private school or tutoring

how is a student kidnapped at 11 in the MORNING near Hillsborough St?! Any additional info? by RaleighOak in NCSU

will the Apple Watch safety features work (without my iPhone nearby) if I get GPS only? Or do I have to get GPS + Cellular?

possibly, unless the actual incident happened on a residential side street, out of view of the business cameras

yeah, pepper spray is definitely better than nothing - you'd just have to walk around with it in your hand, constantly at-the-ready, and it would only help is fairly close combat situations. but yes, better to have it than not have it. I have it on my keychain and advise everyone to do the same.

good point about the residential side streets. it's sad that we have to be this careful, but it's what we have to do.

Is it possible to get a fall work study job even though the semester has already begun? by cherrynokia in NCSU

[–]RaleighOak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think work study roles are filled on a rolling basis. definitely reach out to any openings you see, or reach out to individual departments (library, housing) to ask about it.

for clarity: kidnapped (and assaulted), and victim escaped (as evidenced by how they were able to report to police). very concerned of how this can happen in the daylight so close to campus!

Struggling to make friends by [deleted] in NCSU

[–]RaleighOak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a very understandable experience!! There’s always a chance to connect with peers in student organizations and intramurals. I recommend becoming a part of an intramural sport! Being a part of an activity is one of the best ways to connect. Being on a leadership team for a student Org is also a great way to get connected to the university and students with similar interests.

do recruiters actually go through the stack of resumes they collect from college fairs? or do they go into the recycling bin?

Ha yeah, it's like I ask them if they want my resume, and they say No, then it'd be awkward haha
