What's in This Guide What’s In This Guide You’ll definitely save money if you live off campus. But it’s not easy being a commuter student. This will make it a little easier. Why It’s Smart to Commute Did you know 70% of NC State students live off campus? Here’s what to expect as a commuter student. Transportation Options You have to get to class, right? NC State has you covered. How to Save Money on Textbooks Textbooks are expensive. Here’s how to avoid breaking the bank. Computer Labs & Printing Is it really cheaper to have your own printer? Here’s a list of all computer labs and printers—just in case. Best Places to Eat For days when you just want to grab fast food. About This Guide Why The Student Saver exists, basically. It’s Smart to Commute If you don’t live in university housing—residence halls or university- affiliated apartments—then congratulations! You’re a commuter student. Commuting is a smart choice. You will save a significant amount of money. But it’s not the easiest decision. You Can Save A Lot Of Money… Did you know that it costs over $8,000 just to live on campus for two semesters? That doesn’t even include the cost of the classes you’re actually taking. Ridiculous, right? Living in a residence hall costs $6,020 this year. A meal plan costs at least $2,400. And it’s getting more expensive to live on campus—last year, a residence hall cost about $5,900 per year. You could use that $8,000 to rent a nice apartment for $670 and spend $270 on food every month. (By the way, that food budget translates to 50 Cookout trays per month. Much better deal.) … But It Sucks Sometimes Getting involved in on-campus life is hard. Just getting to Main Campus for club meetings means having to park, catch the bus, or walk to campus. And that’s before you even make it to the club meeting itself. Then there’s getting to class. You’ll have to rely on other people to get you to school if you carpool or take a bus. If you drive yourself, you’ll have to fight for a parking spot during peak hours. (NC State has a C rating for parking. Yikes.) And then there’s the frustration of last-minute changes, like when your professor cancels class after you're halfway to school. 5 Tips for Success But there’s a reason almost 70% of undergraduate students live off campus. It’s the best way to save a lot of money. And you don’t have to feel like you’re missing out on the “college experience.” Here are a few ways you can make the most of your time as a commuter student at NC State. Get to campus a little early. Car trouble, late (or missed) buses, or heavy traffic can be an issue, so leave for class a few minutes early. Join a club. Get involved in one of NC State’s 600+ clubs and organizations, and meet people who love the same things you do. Keep up with what’s happening on campus. Go to a football game (and park for free on campus), stop by a late-night event, and follow NC State activities on social media. Stay on campus between classes. If you have a 3-hour break between classes, stay on campus. You can get homework done, study for a test, or eat lunch with some friends. Take advantage of commuter benefits. NC State offers free bus service and discounted parking permits for commuters. Stay Connected Want one more reason to be on your phone all the time? Follow The Student Saver on social media! (We’re pretty awesome, just saying.) Helpful Phone Numbers For NC State emergency services: For all emergencies, call 911. For a safety escort, call 919-515-3000 or use the blue light emergency phone. For reporting safety concerns or complaints, call the NCSU safety hotline at 919-515-5445. For counseling emergencies after office hours, call 919-515-3000 and ask to speak to the counselor. For disability services, call the Disability Services Office at 919-515- 7653. For NC State academic records and accounts: For Registration and Records, call 919-515-2572. For the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid, call 919-515- 2421. For the Cashier’s Office and Student Accounts, call 919-515-2986. Get to Class in Style There are plenty of ways you can get to class from your home or apartment, and most are free or pretty cheap. WolfTrails Commuter Program Instead of driving yourself to campus, you can use WolfTrails, NC State’s commuter incentives program. You get commuter parking benefits if you walk, bike, carpool, or take the bus. In addition to the special parking permits, the benefits of getting to campus other than driving yourself include reducing wear and tear on your personal vehicle, saving money while commuting, and reducing your carbon footprint. Here are the parking permit details: Commuter parking permits are valid in Coliseum Deck, Dan Allen Deck, West Deck, Perimeter lots, and Varsity lots. A commuter parking pass is $348, split among all students in your carpool. Each carpooler gets 8 daily scratch-off permits for the Varsity lot. You must live at least a quarter of a mile outside the “Wolfline buffer” to qualify. To apply for the commuter incentive program, fill out the WolfTrails Commuter Benefits Application. The Wolfline The Wolfline is NC State’s public bus service, free for students and the general public. Buses run every day that classes are in session, and 11 routes operate during the academic year. You can get just about anywhere using the bus: Cameron Village, Mission Valley, Park & Ride lots, etc. These buses serve Main Campus: Route 2 Hillsborough Shuttle, Route 5 Varsity, and Route 7 Wolflink Shuttle circle around Main Campus. Route 3 Engineering, Route 8 Southeast Loop, and Route 11 Village Link connect Main Campus and Centennial Campus. Route 1 Avent Ferry and Route 9 Gorman Street Local connect Avent Ferry, Greek Village, and Main Campus. Route 6 Carter-Finley connects the Park & Ride lots with Main Campus. These routes generally operate between 7 AM and 10 PM during the fall and spring semesters. Check the transportation website for specific schedules, and check the bus map for specific stop locations. And don’t worry, there’s night service, too. Night bus services typically begin at 10 PM and run until 3 AM. During the week, these 3 bus routes serve Main Campus: The Night Wolf connects Avent Ferry with Main Campus. Centennial Night circles Centennial Campus and Main Campus. The Werewolf Shuttle loops around Main Campus. Download the free TransLoc Rider app from iTunes or Google Play. That way you don’t have to rely on paper schedules. GoPass Want to explore Downtown Raleigh or another part of the city? You don’t have to pay the public bus fare. Students can ride public GoRaleigh buses and GoTriangle buses for free with a GoPass. You can order a pass online in the summer for just $5, and it’s good for a year. These 4 GoRaleigh bus routes stop at NC State: Route 4 Rex Hospital travels between Moore Square Station downtown and Towne North Shopping Center in North Raleigh. It’s in service from 4:30 AM to midnight during the week. Route 11 Avent Ferry travels between Moore Square Station and Trailwood Hills Drive. It runs from 5:45 AM to 11:30 PM during the week. Route 12 Method travels from Moore Square to Meredith College. It runs from 5:45 AM to 11 PM during the week. Check the NC State transportation website for more information. Where to Park At NC State NC State has parking decks, pay lots, Park & Ride lots, and other on- campus parking options to make your life easier. You can park for free if you know where to go. Free Parking: Park & Ride Lots NC State’s Park & Ride lots are free for commuter students. These lots are further from campus, but have regular Wolfline bus service between the lots and Main Campus: The Carter-Finley Park & Ride lot is at Carter-Finley Stadium, accessible through Gate B on Trinity Road or Gate F on Westchase Boulevard. Route 6 Carter-Finley travels to this lot and stops on the main road through the stadium parking lot. If there’s a game or concert at Carter-Finley or PNC Arena, the Wolfline bus will take a detour to the lot through Gate A on Trinity Road. The last bus leaves at 9:54 PM from Scott Hall. The Food Lion Park & Ride lot is located at the intersection of Avent Ferry Road and Gorman Street. Parking is only available along the perimeter wall for this lot, near Greek Way and Avent Ferry Road in the Food Lion end of the shopping center. Pay attention to towing signs! Route 9 Gorman Street Local and Route 1 Avent Ferry both travel to this lot. The last Route 9 bus leaves at 9:52 PM from Greek Way, and the last Route 1 bus leaves at 9:55 PM from Greek Way. Free Parking: After Hours If you have an evening class, you can park for free on campus. Some parking lots have time restrictions that end at 5 PM on weekdays. Heads up! Resident parking areas are enforced until midnight Monday through Thursday and until 5 PM on Friday.

    Appendix A: Charge to the Special Transit Advisory Commission Joint MPO STAC Charge to the Commission The Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO) and the N.C. Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) have concluded that providing well- planned and timely major regional transit investments is a very important part of maintaining the Triangle region’s current levels of transportation mobility, high quality of life and economic prosperity. Therefore, the MPOs have agreed to pursue the joint development of a Regional Transit Vision Plan for a regional transit system to serve as the foundation for making comprehensive, cooperative, and well- coordinated decisions on future major transit investments. The development of this plan should include a robust public outreach/community engagement effort and a process for establishing priorities for regional transit investments. The two MPOs have also agreed to appoint a Joint MPO Special Transit Advisory Commission to assist them in the development of the Regional Transit Vision Plan (RTVP). This commission will deliver to the region’s two MPOs a set of recommended major transit investments to serve the Triangle based on: Guiding principles for transit investments The Transit Infrastructure Blueprint Project analysis Priorities for transit investments A community engagement process Tasks To accomplish its overall mission, the commission may engage in any and all of the following focus areas. MPO and other staff will provide technical assistance to the commission for these tasks. 1. Review existing transit plans and relevant sections of the 2030 Long Range Transportation Plans, including the goals and objectives stated in those plans.

  • Raleigh, North Carolina
    Coordinates: 35°46′N 78°38′W Raleigh, North Carolina Raleigh (/ˈrɑːli/; RAH-lee)[6] is the capital of the state of North Carolina and the seat of Wake County in the United States. Raleigh is known as the "City of Oaks" for its many Raleigh, North Carolina [7] oak trees, which line the streets in the heart of the city. The city covers a land area of State capital city 147.6 square miles (382 km2). The U.S. Census Bureau estimated the city's population as City of Raleigh 474,069 as of July 1, 2019.[4] It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country.[8][9] The city of Raleigh is named after Walter Raleigh, who established the lost Roanoke Colony in present-day Dare County. Raleigh is home to North Carolina State University (NC State) and is part of the Research Triangle together with Durham (home of Duke University and North Carolina Central University) and Chapel Hill (home of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). The name of the Research Triangle (often shortened to the "Triangle") originated after the 1959 creation of Research Triangle Park (RTP), located in Durham and Wake counties, among the three cities and their universities. The Triangle encompasses the U.S. Census Bureau's Raleigh-Durham-Cary Combined Statistical Area (CSA), which had an estimated population of 2,037,430 in 2013.[10] The Raleigh metropolitan statistical area had an estimated population of 1,390,785 in 2019.[11] Most of Raleigh is located within Wake County, with a very small portion extending into Durham County.[12] The towns of Cary, Morrisville, Garner, Clayton, Wake Forest, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Knightdale, Wendell, Zebulon, and Rolesville are some of Raleigh's primary nearby suburbs and satellite towns.

Sharing the distinctive character of Land Grant universities nationwide, NC State has broad academic offerings, national and international linkages, and large-scale outreach, extension, and research activities. NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY HISTORICAL SKETCH On March 7, 1887, the North Carolina General Assembly passed the act which authorized the establishment of the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. The Watauga Club of Raleigh and the statewide farmers’ movement had convinced the legislature of the need to transfer the funds received by the state under the provisions of the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862 from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill to a new land grant college in Raleigh. The cornerstone of A. and M. College was laid in August 1888, and its doors were officially opened on October 3, 1889. Alexander Q. Holladay, the college’s first president (1889-1899), and a faculty of five offered courses in agriculture, horticulture, pure and agri- cultural chemistry, English, bookkeeping, history, mathematics, physics, practical mechanics, and military science.
