Off campus housing suggestions

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me which apartment complexes to avoid for loudness and parties. I'm quiet but I don't mind noise, just not constant parties and loud music all the time. I understand there is going to be noise in any apartment complex. I've applied to Rabbit Ridge but they have no 2 br and I applied today to 808 West. Any other complexes you can suggest? I'm a transfer student age 23 soon to be 24. I don't have pets.

About the food.

I have heard that Western has terrible food and that the premium option is best because you can get something from chic fil a or somewhere like that instead of the cafeteria. Are the rumors of the poor food true or just emotional inflation.

Edit: I’m an incoming freshmen this fall and I’m extremely nervous, any other advice with be greatly appreciated.

FAFSA hates me

So I got my financial aid package reviewed the other day and literally was only offered an unsubsidized loan. I already have some college credits (like 39 i think) but I am desperately trying to not accrue $20k+ in debt with interest, especially when im the only one paying for it.

Is there anything else I can do? I’ve applied to tons of outside scholarships but I’ve gotten none of them 💀 running out of options tbh

My daughter is interested in attending summer symposium (color guard) this summer.
Has anyone here attended? Did you enjoy it? Anything we need to be aware of?

Thanks!

Help choosing between Black Rock, Water Rock, and Shining Rock

I will be a freshman this fall and have narrowed it down to Black Rock, Water Rock, and Shining Rock but I am unsure as to which one would be the best. I would love to hear everyone's pros/cons/opinions on the halls to help my decision. Thank you in advance!

Update: I decided on Black Rock but thank you everyone for the input!!

WCU Alum doing Grad School Research: Pls take my survey :*)

Howdy folks,

Like the title says, I graduated from WCU and am now working on my doctoral degree (huzzah). If you're interested and able (at least 18 and a current student), please consider taking my survey on news related to national security issues.

This is a pilot study for my dissertation, which is why I'm posting it on reddit-- we've got limited resources over here! Thanks for your time, and good luck out there, catamounts!

new commit

i’ve recently paid my enrollment deposit and am ridiculously excited to come here, but outside of the tcg store in sylva does anyone know if there’s a population of people interested in yugioh and the like? figured this would probably be the app to go to.

Does anyone know why the Chili’s has been closed?

I have tried to go the Chili’s 3 days in a row and they haven’t been opened. I scanned their QR code and it should be open. There is no sign saying why or even that they are closed. Anyone know why?

Comparison

How is WCU’s nursing program compared to other NC colleges such as UNC Charlotte, East Carolina, Wingate, and Lenoir Rhyne? Am kind of stuck and have heard mixed things and want to go where it is best in all aspects. I am an early college hs super senior

Coming in as a junior fall semester any tips or things I should know?

Visited a couple weeks back and like the campus. I’m going to be in the CJ program and debating about double majoring in Forensic science as well. If theres anything I should know about clubs, classes, housing, pretty much anything you can think of I should do or avoid let me know. I already know not to walk under the clock tower.

western carolina university housing/transferring

hii i’m in my second year of college looking to transfer to wcu in the fall! i recently visited the campus and really liked it but i had some questions that were still unanswered. i live in jersey so i’d obviously transfer from my community college, but i would need to find an apartment/roommates and i don’t know anyone at the school! so i’m wondering how i could meet people/find a place to live. i’m looking for a few girls to have a small apartment with if anyone knows of any availability or ideas of where to look around at, i’d appreciate it! also at the tour i was told i may not have enough credits to be a junior, and may have to go back to sophomore, so would that mean i’d have to stay at a dorm?

Evangelists/Christian Apologists Visiting Tuesday!

Please bring your best questions and a desire for fruitful and substantive dialogue! (We prefer to discuss issues besides LGBTQ, btw. Sometimes that topic predominates, and we hope to avoid that if possible.)

We love the Lord Jesus and His Word as well as the students of WCU!

God bless you! And we look forward to spending time with you wonderful young people on Tuesday!

🙏🏻🙌🏻❤️✝️🇺🇸

Where do older students and alumni hang out on Friday nights?

Are there a lot of older students? Where can they be found hanging out usually or where might older students or alumni in the area congregate?

how consistent are the breaks?

Specifically I am talking about Fall break in particular. Every year, me and my family go to Vacation in the fall and fall break seems like a godsend. But me and my family are a little hesitant to book the nights, specifically because we don’t know how flexible the the breaks are and if the school could possibly change the date and mess up our plans.

Are we overthinking this or is it possible the school can completely change the dates of fall break.

Help on decision (Calling all engineering majors)

Basically I have narrowed my choices to WCU and UNCC. I love the campus of WCU and everything about WCU more than UNCC. The issue I’m having is my #1 choice was NC State and I didn’t get in. I already view UNCC as a step down and a compromise, and a lot of people tell me WCU’s academics are even worse than UNCC. Can anyone clue me in on how the engineering program is/whether the degree is actually valued by employers as much as a UNCC degree?

Physics lab before lecture

I'm thinking of taking PHYS 130 next semester and I want to take the lab on Monday before the lectures. Is that a good or bad idea? The Monday lab class is almost full so some people may have the same idea as me, but I know that some labs take work from the lecture from the same week, which might cause confusion. Should I just take the lab Friday?

Is the food really THAT bad?

Hi! Incoming freshman here- on the tour we didn’t view the interior of the dining hall. I’ve gone further into the subreddit and people are really docking on the food, so much that there is an abandoned Twitter account for it. I know college food is never going to be exceptional, but is it THAT bad? What options do they typically have? 😭

How good is the forensics program?

I'm currently getting my A.S. in Crime Scene Technology in Florida and have been looking to attend WCU and do the forensics program (biology track). I have a lot of local options but if the program is good then I would like to go out of state.
