Five Places Every NC State Student Needs To Go

As a freshman at any school, it's easy to develop a set routine and stay close to campus. However, NC State has tons of great things to do outside of Dan Allen! Here are some spots that every NC State student should visit.


1. Hunt Library.

NC State's second library, located on Centennial Campus, is a study hub that is home to innovation that will blow you away. From tech tools to help you study and the library's contemporary feel, Hunt Library is a place that shouldn't be missed.

Bonus tip for freshman: You don't need a car to get to Hunt! The Wolfline bus system provides multiple buses that can take you from main campus to Centennial in around 10 minutes.

2. Cameron Village.

Looking for a great place to eat, shop, or hang out? Cameron Village has dozens of restaurants, boutiques, a grocery store, and coffee shops. This shopping center provides a great place to get away from campus and hang out.

Bonus tip for freshmen: Cameron Village is within walking distance from campus and a great place to take your parents when they come visit!


3. Carter Finley Stadium.

Saturdays spent at Carter Finley are an NC State student's favorite activity. Hearing the band play the fight song, seeing Mr. and Mrs. Wuf, and watching the sunset over a packed football stadium can make anyone's heart swell.

Bonus tip for freshmen: Transportation is key. The Wolfline offers buses to and from Carter Finley, and taking a cab or an Uber rather than waiting for a bus is often a good idea!


4. University Tutorial Center.

The University Tutorial Center is a great place to get a little extra help with your classes, resume, or anything else that students often forget to take advantage of. Students help other students excel in their classes, and the tutors are helpful no matter what subject you're struggling in.

Bonus tip for freshmen: Utilizing the UTC is a key to academic success. Just do it!

5. Downtown Raleigh.

NC State students are lucky enough to have a campus that is just outside the city. Downtown Raleigh offers amazing restaurants, nightlife, and shops. Raleigh has so much to offer!

Bonus tip for freshmen: plan out your day well before you go downtown! The bus schedule can be found online so you aren't left waiting at the stop.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
