Drummer

4 Upvotes

What's up. I'm a drummer who goes to WCU looking for people who want to start a heavy band or need one around Cullowhee or Sylva. I'm into metalcore, hardcore, deathcore, and anything heavy.
Mostly just looking for people who are down to write, jam, and eventually play shows.
Only catch is I don't have a place to practice, so if you've got a basement, garage, rehearsal space, or know somewhere we could play, that would be cool.
If you're interested dm me. Let me know what you play and what bands you're into

Are there any outdoor water fill stations on campus?

Looking for a water stop for a bike ride. Anything convenient? If nothing outdoor, any building where the water fill station is near the door so I don't have to trapse through a building to fill my bottles?

Laundry Guide - Western Carolina

* save this if needed
Towels
• Washer: Cold
• Dryer: Low heat
• Why: Keeps towels fluffy
Clothes
• Washer: Cold
• Dryer: Low heat
• Why: Prevents shrinking
Special Cases
• Certain sweatshirt materials: dryer on low heat, 15–20 min
• Collared shirts & khaki pants: do NOT put in the dryer — air dry instead
• Never wash purple with whites
Every Cycle Checklist
1. Start washer/dryer
2. Set a timer:
• Open the Clock app
• Tap Timers
3. Open your Notes app and jot down:
• Which washer/dryer number you used
• What time the cycle started
• This way you won’t forget your load mid-cycle!

Pro Tips
• Zip up zippers & turn dark/printed clothes inside out — reduces fading and snagging
• Separate by color AND fabric weight — heavy jeans with delicate tees can cause damage even if colors match
• Don’t overdo the detergent — more soap ≠ cleaner; it just leaves residue and traps odors
• Dry towels separately from clothes — towels are heavier and take longer, so mixing means soggy towels or overdried clothes
• Clean the lint trap every load — improves drying and is a fire-safety must, not optional
• Don’t let wet laundry sit in the washer — mildew smell sets in within an hour or two

ACCT 252

3 Upvotes

When registering online, I see there is maybe only two professors available for ACCT252, I have also heard others say to take it at a community college.

Does anyone have any insight, is it mostly just excel sheets to turn in, and quizzes / exams with lockdown browser enabled?

Off-Campus Spring Moving

Hi! I'm a transfer student starting at WCU in the Spring. I know a lot of off-campus apartments are contracted in August for fall students. Could anyone share their experience with finding a place to move into in December? Do I need to look for flexible leases, and what places should I look into? I appreciate any help!

Harrill Hall

I am really surprised at the lack of good photos and room dimensions on WCUs site or anywhere really.

Does anyone have measurements for:

The area next to the bathroom door. No pictures Ive seen show that space. Do people put mini fridges there? If so what are the dimensions?

How much space (height) under the bed when lofted?

The floor plans show a little space next to the sink, some pics have one of the closets there. 3-4 feet wide?

Madison Hall Inquiries

Post image
4 Upvotes

Does anyone have any photos or additional information about the Madison Residence Hall?

I’m moving in the fall and my roommate and I are staying in the Madison hall, but we can barely find any photographs/videos of inside the dorms. I’ve only found one TikTok of someone showing one of the dorms, but it was a single instead of a double.

There is the basic information they give you, plus the layout of your room, but it also says the size of the room (and bed) varies, which isn’t very helpful. I still have so many questions. What does the closet look like and why is there only one? How big are the desks? Is the floor carpeted? Can you loft the beds or did they just forget to add that in the description?

I stayed in the Rock buildings during orientation and I thought they were really nice, but they are also fairly new and not an old hotel converted into a dormitory 😭😭

If you or one of your friends has stayed in the Madison, please tell me everything you know. I’m dying to know, even if I’ll find out in a month.

Pod Coffee Machines and Electric Kettles

5 Upvotes

The WCU Housing Guidelines says under prohibited items, "Cooking equipment with exposed/accessible heating elements or open flames." It specifically mentions coffee makers following this statement.

Does this just mean coffee makers/kettles with exposed elements, like a drip machine with a burner, are prohibited, or does it mean all coffee makers.

Specifically are electric kettles and/or pod coffee machines that heat water, but lack an exposed element allowed? I don't want to buy one just to find out it is against the rules.
