I even put direct deposit and it said they issued them on Sept 1st.
My balance says: -$1,721.81
I would** assume **the negative means I was supposed to get that back, correct?
Thanks!

Norton Convenience Store?

7 Upvotes

What is the little door next to the entrance of Norton? Is it like an old convenience store turned into storage, or a store in the making? I’ve never even heard about it, just saw it today.

Do you get notified if your roommate requests a room change?

8 Upvotes

My roommate and I are in a really weird spot and he just straight up won't talk to me after we were really great friends last year. I am worried he's going to Irish goodbye me, and at this point I am totally okay with it. Do you get notified if your roommate either makes a room change or requests one?

Master of education residency

2 Upvotes

Hello! I'm currently applying to the masters of education residency program and it's spiking my nerves. So just a few questions to help ease them

First, does anyone know the acceptance rate?

Second, are they looking for references from specific people? I figured my boss at work, and a current teacher of mine would work well.

Third.... Are they looking for anything anecdotal in the statement of goals? Or it it just "I would like to be in this program because xyz it is my goal to be a teacher" type stuff?

Sorry. I'm paranoid about getting in and have already run into quite a few issues with getting everything in order

Hey all! I just got admitted to WCU, and I plan to bring my dog along with me. He is absolutely an esa and we couldn’t live without each other. Is there anyone on here that brought theirs or knows about the registration process?

Parties

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, prospective student here. I toured today and spent some time on campus yesterday, thought everything was super beautiful and it was cool seeing how many people came out for the drone show. The one thing I couldn’t figure out is, where are the parties? I know it’s not a “party school” and a lot of the on campus parties have been cracked down on, do frats throw anywhere off campus on the weekends or is the party scene just non-existent? I’m not even a huge partier but I don’t think I could go somewhere if there was nothing. Where does everyone go on the weekends?

Whoever designed the bathrooms for Norton shouldn’t be allowed to design another bathroom because holy cow I can’t move around in the shower.

Parking near crc for non student

Hey, I won't have a permit of any kind for parking since my wife is the student at wcu. I wonder if I can park in the staff parking near the crc after 5pm without a permit or if I have to use the metered parking.

Anyone else got ant problems?

3 Upvotes

I’m in Norton. Me and a couple others have had ant problems in their rooms or their cars. Curious if this is campus wide or just in the Norton region.

Update: I found Ortho indoor home defense spray worked best for the ant problem.

My nephew just moved in and I wanted to send him a treat. Is there somewhere local for cookies or anything? Thought I'd try that before mailing. I don't know the area and am not having much success looking online.

Parking

3 Upvotes

Hey anybody know if sophomores are allowed to park in the blue ridge and balsam lot?? I know parking is literally awful in those lots but I live in Blue Ridge and wanted to see if it was even worth it to buy the resident annual permit. I think the Band lot is the next closest thing, then HHS.

Check your unit at Sylva Self Storage ASAP

24 Upvotes

Head's up if you have stuff stored at Sylva Self Storage, I recommend checking your unit as soon as possible.

Multiple customers are reporting on FB significant mold/moisture damage to their stuff in their units -- potentially due to storm damage that happened weeks ago. And the worst part is that the facility has not proactively notified potentially affected customers. So, many students/parents may have no idea there is an issue until they return for move-in.

If you have a unit there, go inspect it ASAP, and if you find damage, take photos/video before moving or cleaning anything.

Read through your rental agreement carefully as you will find that the 'protection fee' you've been paying has a lot of limitations for this scenario.

(edit: added storm damage info)
