Does anyone know how to get access to this book for cheap/free? It’s ridiculous that this book costs almost 100$ and that I’m barely going to use it. I got a free code from Wolfpack outfitters but I will probably lose access to it after tomorrow.

I am a first-year student at NCSU in CALS, and I have Paciulli as my Bio 181 prof. Our classes this week have been a mess! Her moodle is disorganized making assignments and class materials unclear. Lectures are also chaotic as it seems we spend a good portion of the class in "attendance checks" on Tophat or off-topic entirely. Paciulli's reviews on RateMyProfessor also indicate this, and I was wondering if anyone had any advice for success in her class. Thanks!
​
A quick note on class materials too

• I only purchased the required lab guide (which has not arrived since Wolfpack Outfitters is currently out of guides) with no intention to buy the textbook as it was an optional material

This might be a me thing, but every time I try to view my textbooks under Enrollment Wizard (for both the comparison site & wolfpack outfitters), it draws up a blank screen. I can’t seem to find the site that had all my classes and books already pulled up without having to do any sort of searching. It worked previous semesters so maybe it’s a bug?? Anyone else experiencing this?

All but one of my classes have no textbooks listed in the Wolfpack outfitters thing. Is this some sort of glitch or are the professors just slow? Is it possible they aren’t requiring textbooks for economics classes??

If you are taking ANT 252- Cultural Anthropology with Dr. Joshua Friedman in the Fall 2022 and need/want the physical textbook for his class, I will be selling it for $15. If you buy it through Wolfpack Outfitters, it's way more expensive. I don't need the textbook for this course anymore. The textbook name - Essentials of Cultural Anthropology: A toolkit for a Global Age, Third Edition by Kenneth J. Guest. Please message me for more details.

This semester has been straight out of hell for me, and I did not think I was going to graduate. But luckily, I am going to be able to walk for my college department's graduation!! Because of the last-minute preparations, I don't have a cap or gown, and I'm scared if I order one off of wolfpack outfitters it won't be ready in time.
If there are any alumni who would want to sell/let me borrow theirs, hmu!! I am around 5'9, so anything that isn't gonna drag on the ground behind me is good enough

Might be a dumb question, but the semester is about to end and I have $100+ in dining dollars. While i would like to just storm campus markets for snacks, a sweatshirt sounds better.

I saw today that wolfpack outfitters has some laptops going on sale (https://shop.ncsu.edu/technology) and would like to gauge whether they are a good deal. I am a grad student with a 10 year old laptop and would love to take advantage of a deal.
I'm looking at the Dell or Lenovo laptops, mostly for gaming and CAD use. Can any of you computer nerds advise me on if they are a good deal? If so, which of the ones on sale would be best?

Don't forget that:

• January 10th is the start of Spring 2022 classes.
• January 14th is the last day to add a course without permission.
• Check wolfpack outfitters for your book list and start planning accordingly.
• Never Drop always swap classes that you have planned as alternatives.
• Waitlists classes are removed from their course waitlist five days after classes begin.
• Keep an eye on your email for the most accurate and up-to-date information on the current proceedings for COVID-19 in the Spring (Also make sure you're in compliance with healthy pack as well).
• Health Insurance in check for next semester (or have already waived the Healthy Blue requirement).

Stay safe Pack and Happy Holidays!

As a previous, current, or future student, do you feel that NC State could do more to make you feel safer on campus? Every day, it seems there’s a new WolfAlert sent out or some other incident reported, and I want to create a proactive plan to make campus a safer place for everyone.
That’s why I’m organizing SafeWalk: a student-run, nighttime safety initiative that provides a pair of student escorts to walk with you to your desired destination– either on or off-campus, so you don’t have to walk alone.
I’m currently organizing a plan for this initiative, and what better way to start this by-students-for-students service than to allow you to voice your ideas or concerns in the midst of its creation.
Please complete this SafeWalk Interest Form, give honest and helpful feedback, and enter a gift card GIVEAWAY!
One lucky person has the opportunity to win their choice of a $50 gift card to Amazon, Gumby’s Pizza, or Wolfpack Outfitters!
Send this interest form to your friends and have them list your email as a referral for additional entries.
Let’s make NC State a safer place, together!
SafeWalk Interest Form
​
UPDATE:
Our student escorts, titled "SafeWalkers," will be required to go through an application process consisting of a background check, mandatory training and education (including a Title IX and Clery Act module), an interview, 2 recommendations, and peer evaluations. Anonymous evaluation forms will be available and encouraged to those who request the SafeWalk service. Our SafeWalkers will have specific routes outlined for each requested desired destination, all of which follow the blue light map in case of emergencies.
We've received feedback requesting that SafeWalkers complete a type of crisis response or defense training. This requirement will be an educational module and a class, possibly through NCSU PD.
As per their website, NCSU PD provides a similar service under modified conditions. Their statement reads,

"Safety escorts have resumed in a modified format and will be walking escorts only when the bus service is not operating. If the campus community has a legitimized safety concern, a contract security guard or a University Police Officer will provide a walking escort for on campus destinations. We encourage the community to plan ahead and use the Wolfline bus service or other transportation options to move about campus safely (https://police.ehps.ncsu.edu/services/)."

​
We recognize the existence of the NCSU PD Safety Escort Service. SafeWalk is not attempting to replace this service or trying to invalidate campus police's efforts by any means, we aim to be an additional service for ensuring student safety. Our interest form revealed a number of testimonials about the perceived difference of the campus police service. Students reported that SafeWalk would be "more comfortable, approachable, accessible, reliable, relatable, and less intimidating," leading us to believe that we can still make a difference.
Before the SafeWalk initiative can even be established, more information needs to be collected. Currently, we are only trying to determine if this service should be implemented, if it is necessary, and if it is wanted. These questions are answered by documenting the level of student interest, which is found in the attached SafeWalk Interest Form. These received statistics and testimonials supply us with the much-needed information for organizing a set of Standard Operating Procedures, recruitment and financial models, connecting with sponsors, and more.
SafeWalk is permitted to begin enacting our proactive approach of preventing ON and OFF-campus incidents only after a finalized plan of operation is formally approved by a group of university departments. Then, we can start branching out to other organizations. Hopefully, this can someday include SafeWalk operating alongside campus PD's safety service.

When you buy the all-in option for your textbooks does that include connect? If not what’s the point of getting all-in?

Anyone know how I can get one of those sick engineering Polos? All black with “NC State Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering” - you guys know what I’m talking about. There’s also the red and gray ones.
Wolfpack Outfitters/a quick Google search aren’t very helpful.
Thanks!

Title explains it (mostly). I'm not sure if I should buy the textbook via Zybooks or Wolfpack Outfitters. Does it even matter? Would buying via WO use some of my aid money? Does buying through WO give me an access code to enter onto the site? Thank you!

I'm thinking about buying some new masks from Wolfpack Outfitters for when I return back to campus. How do they feel? Are they comfy, cheap? Are they worth my money or should I pass and buy from somewhere else? Thanks in advance.
Edit: The comments were very helpful so thanks again! I was on the fence about getting the 3-pack in large (or maybe XL considering I have a big face and the sizes are relatively smaller), but I think i'll hold back for now and keep looking to be safe.

I'm an incoming freshman taking PY 205/206 in the fall and I got an email saying that I have to "purchase homework access directly from WebAssign". When will I be able to buy it and how much will it be? Also, when I check the list of textbooks I have to buy on WolfPack Outfitters, it says that the physical copy of the textbook is required to buy, even though the email I got says that it is optional. So do I have to buy the physical textbook?

I just wanted to ask about the sale in Wolfpack outfitters tomorrow will there be decent reductions on some of the overpriced stuff they got there and would it a good idea to get there early to avoid the rush? Thanks 👍🏻

Feel free to add any

• If you know you want to join any clubs, do it asap. Most require you to sign up on the getinvolved page.
  
• If you have an unlimited meal plan, you can utilize your weekly meal swipes to stock up on some food. If the week is ending soon and you have more than enough swipes, you can go get premade food at the atrium, pastries and drinks from PCJ, snacks from Jason's deli, etc. Great way to stock up on snacks and save some money.
  
• Be mindful about how much of your meal plan you are using, they are rather expensive and you will get the chance to pick a new one next semester. I knew freshmen who changed to block 150 and didn't change their eating habits. Saved hundreds
  
• Mix up your eating. Don't get the same things from the dining hall every day. Don't eat the meatball sandwich from Jason's everyday. You will get sick of them quickly. Try the atrium, try the different dining halls, try tally.
  
• If you are on a professional career track like premed, prelaw, etc: make sure to join the clubs so you are put on the listservs. There are great oppurtunities there and the Career Development Center offers walkins to discuss your plans.
  
• If possible, wait until after your first class to buy textbooks. Often textbooks are set above the professor and they will say something along the lines of "it isn't really needed but is helpful."
  
• If you are in need of homework help and chegg keeps coming up in search results, it can be worth it to help you work through problems. Usually the numbers are different or it asks for a different variable, but it can be the jumpstart to get you to the solution. Especially true for chemistry courses
  
• Coursehero is never worth paying for, but you can use incognito sessions to reset their previews. Be aware that using it for numbers to plug into homework problems that you didn't solve yourself is cheating and pretty obvious.
  
• If you're going to drink in your dorm, keep it out of sight from any passerbys. When done, hide it well. Don't give any reason for an RA to come over and they generally won't. Really just don't be stupid or slip up and you will be fine.
  
• It's best to get at least one (if not both) of your PE requirements out of the way your freshman year. Take it pass/fail as they usually grade rather strictly.
  
• Pick out a main way to exercise and stick to it. Walking to class actually burns a lot more than you think, but the food here makes up for that. Exercise doesn't have to be at the gym. Bike on the fantastic trails around campus, join intramurals or a club, etc.
  
• Laundry can be pretty terrible, especially at certain dorms like Sullivan. Try to go at times when you think there will be the fewest people. Generally getting up early or staying up late to do it has the shortest waits. Weekends during the day are horrible. Laundryalert is useless at most dorms.
  
• Wolfpack outfitters is really expensive but has most emergency items (along with the C-stores).
  
• Get your flu shot around October. Usually student health gives them out for free if you ask. Last year a pretty nasty flu went around my residence hall and made a bunch of people sick over the winter break and finals. Germs spread like wildfire here so might as well be protected from some of it.
  
• Call your parents
  

Title

Whoever left the pair of Bluetooth headphones over there, I turned them in to the information desk so they don't get stolen.

Since I am going to visit my advisor tomorrow (at EB II) and will have an orientation next week, I want to purchase something (sticker, t-shirt, etc.) from the outfitters to support my school (I was amazed about seeing a lot of students wearing NC State clothes when I came to visit the school last year). Actually, I'm from a different country where students don't usually wear school shirt to show their pride.
Do they usually have on sale items and how do I know when they are on sale? I visited NC State last year (in a tour) and they gave me a $5 coupon but it was expired.

Sup ya'll.
In my infinite stupidity kindness, I've taken it upon myself to begin the revamp of our woefully obsolete Wiki. This will be an ongoing project for the modteam, mostly on the organization and writing side of things. What we need from you all is the content.
So we figured an easy place to start would be a be-all and end-all glossary of terms, currencies, locations, events, activities and people in the game. Luckily, fencernick has already provided a massive jumpstart with this dictionary of Destiny acronyms. I will structure this post in a similar fashion, and update it as you all provide comments. We will then polish and push the finished product to the Wiki.
As this is for the Wiki, which will essentially be a guide to all things Destiny, we'd like to get important details for each item included such as how currencies are obtained, where people are located, etc. I'll start with a few examples so we can try to stick to a universal format. Let's get to it!

CURRENCIES, MATERIALS, AND SPECIAL ITEMS

Ascendant Shard/Energy- an upgrade material for weapons and armor. see also: Radiant Shard/Energy. After the release of House of Wolves, largely considered obsolete for end-game purposes other than exchanging for other currencies.

• Uses/Wares: material exchange; class items (25 Motes); emblems (7 Motes); early quest giver.

FACTIONS AND REPUTATION

Crucible activities will apply to Crucible reputation. NOTE: Vanguard vendors accept Vanguard Marks, all other factions use Crucible Marks.
