Luckily, Raleigh offers many great activities close to home.

Sunni Queipo, a sophomore in biochemistry, enjoys hiking the trails of Raven Rock State Park. She said, “I grew up near the park, so it’s great to go home and enjoy being outside.”

Raven Rock is located in Lillington N.C., and is less than an hour’s drive from N.C. State.

The state park offers hiking trails and an impressive view of the Cape Fear River.

Whether choosing the coast, the Piedmont or the mountains, North Carolina is full of great outdoor opportunities.

Anytime is the perfect time of year to get outside and escape the worries of a stressful class load. So, get out there and explore.

Balancing school work, clubs and a social life can be challenging, but once a balance is found, nothing compares to being a student at N.C. State University.

Many college students feel the need to be involved in anything and everything they find interesting, allowing them to get the full college experience. Quickly, one learns that school, clubs and a social life take time and

commitment.

“As a freshman, I wanted to join as many clubs as I could,” Allyson Gerst, a junior in animal science said. “I soon discovered that if I invested my time in just one or two clubs that were pertinent to my career, I still had time to excel in school and spent whatever time was left with my friends. I am able to stay active in a variety of different things and still keep my grades where they should be.”

Whether you are looking to join the club soccer team, join a hall council, or get involved in religious activities on campus, there is a club that will fit your needs. Currently, N.C. State has about 600 registered clubs.

No wonder joining clubs is easy and fun!

All of these clubs are run by students who came to N.C. State to receive an education and excel in their schoolwork.

Getting involved definitely adds to the college experience, but

everyone here is a student first and it is imperative to stay focused on your schoolwork.

“As an active member of two clubs on campus, I love to get involved in the community,” said Chandler Pearce, a junior in business administration.

“Whether it be volunteering with Habitat for Humanity on a Saturday or going to the Boys and Girls club on Wednesday nights, I love to stay involved.

However, I’ve realized that I’m a student first, and I must put

school before everything else in order to be successful. School is easy to push to the side, but then you find yourself quickly questioning what brought you to this prestigious university in the first place.”

It can be easy to become too involved in certain areas of your college experience and forget to take in all that college has to offer! Luckily, N.C. State University has students, professors, and advisors who can lead you in the right direction.

Living a healthy and active lifestyle as a college student can be challenging, but North Carolina State University makes it a little easier.

Depending on which sport you love the most, it is probably offered at N.C. State as either an intramural or club sport. The choices are endless, and staying active and meeting new people has never been easier.

“Playing intramural sports at NCSU is a great stress reliever,” Max Heavner, a junior in human biology said. “It’s also one of the best ways to meet people with similar interests.”

Since 1999, the university has been nationally recognized for its club sports. Five national championship titles belong to the club sports division at State, and intramural sports have won 23 championships since the fall of 2012. That explains the high demand of N.C. State’s sports program.

N.C. State offers 13 intramural sports and 48 club sports. The offerings range from soccer and ballroom dancing to martial

arts; they are student-run organizations that follow the rules and regulations of the University Recreation program. Tournaments and traveling to face other universities in North Carolina is how N.C. State has earned its prestigious image in intramural and club sports.

“Being a referee for intramural and club sports has given me the opportunity to grow a passion for different sports,” Stephanie Igo, a junior in human biology said. “Working at UREC has allowed me to interact with many diverse people in a stress-free environment.”

The workload in college can get overwhelming and stressful, and can prevent you from exploring the outdoors. Fortunately, the university offers a variety of ways to stop the stress and enjoy physical activity. Not only do club and intramural sports lead to a healthy life style, but they also allow both students and faculty to meet a diverse group of people with similar sports interests.

Students can participate in one-time classes at Campus Recreation or a full-semester to stay in shape and healthy.

Classes promote health and excercise Rachel Morrison

COM 316 student

Having a busy class schedule and participating in various extracurricular activities can make staying fit during college difficult for many students, but North Carolina State University makes accomplishing that feat easier through its Department of Health and Exercise Studies.

Students can choose from a wide range of physical education courses, from water aerobics to indoor group cycling to mountain biking. If their schedule does not permit physically attending a class, students also have the option to enroll online.

“N.C. State’s health and wellness classes are a great way for students to stay in shape while also fulfilling their degree requirements. We have so many fun classes to choose from so that every student can find something they like to do,” said Kaitlyn Strickland, a senior in nutrition who participates in and teaches multiple physical education classes at N.C State.

The Department of Health and Wellness was founded at N.C. State in 1923 with John Miller at its head. In 1924, N.C. State made taking two different levels of physical education a requirement for graduation, and the department has since established more than 50 health and exercise classes. Whether students are beginners or experts in the field of exercise, N.C. State has a class for everyone.

“I am so glad that N.C. State has so many PE classes to choose from. Having a yoga or swimming class a couple of times a week provides a nice break from my classes and keeps me active,” says Alyson Cockerham, a senior in language arts and social studies who enjoys exercising.

Although balancing school and fitness during college can be difficult, N.C. State offers many wonderful health and exercise classes to keep its students both physically and mentally well. Luckily for students, balancing fitness and academics is easy and enjoyable.

After a long week of exams and homework, a little retail therapy can go a long way for students.

Thousands of shoppers make the trek to Crabtree Valley Mall and the Streets at Southpoint daily, but students at N.C. State can have their own shopping experience simply by crossing Hillsborough Street.

“I like shopping on Hillsborough Street because of its proximity to my apartment,” said Erin Sigmon, a junior in international studies. “Plus I’m supporting local businesses.”

Retailers such as Lucky Strike Vintage and Sugar Magnolia specialize in affordable clothing and accessories.

Lindsey Rosenbaum, a junior in international and English, said she shops at Sugar Magnolia for its alternative style.

“Sugar Magnolia has unique

clothes and other items,” Rosenbaum said. “It’s right next to Bruegger’s, so I can get breakfast and shop at once.”

Sigmon said she frequents Schoolkid’s Records, the music store across from the Bell Tower, because of its diverse stock.

“I didn’t have a record store at home, so Schoolkid’s was something new,” Sigmon said. “I can go in for hours and browse the great collection of old and new records.”

Sigmon said that while she enjoys all kinds of music, it’s Schoolkid’s contemporary collection that attracts her business.

“I like older music, but there’s something special about the way vinyl sounds with my favorite contemporary stuff,” Sigmon said.

Though only three miles long, Hillsborough Street hosts more than 60 restaurants, retail and entertainment establish-

ments. With numerous bars, clubs, and nightlife venues as well, Hillsborough Street is developing into a hospitality destination.

Rosenbaum said her favorite “Hillsborough hideaway” is Readers Corner, a used bookstore that specializes in novelty books and comics.

“I love books, and a lot of bookstores like Barnes & Noble have become commercialized,” Rosenbaum said. “It starts specializing in music and electronics and lose sight of its real purpose — to sell books.”

It can be easy to get lost twisting and turning through department stores, but with the growing Hillsborough Street shopping scene, students are able to find what they need without going the distance or breaking the bank.

Hitting the stores in Cameron Village Chelsea Gardener COM 316 student

Blissful shoppers travel swiftly up, down and across the street, seeking fulfillment from a popular and timeless village overflowing with options.

Emanating simplicity and originality, this idyllic village, unlike any other, beckons explorers to venture into an experience of all things fashion, fun and food-related. Cameron Village, located on 1900 Cameron St. in Raleigh, offers everyone an unforgettable adventure with one-of-a-kind boutiques, shops, restaurants and cafés.

Often deemed as “the place to live a little and shop a lot,” Cameron Village is committed to fulfilling the needs and wishes of its customers.

N.C. State senior Lauren Blake, a polymer and color chemistry major, has developed a fondness for one of the thrift stores.

“Bargain Box is my absolute favorite,” said Blake. “It has the best finds for college students shopping on a budget and adds to the incredible variety in Cameron Village.”

In 1949, Cameron Village was originally planned as the first shopping center between

Washington, D.C. and Atlanta, Ga. Then, it only had three stores and one restaurant.

Since its humble beginnings, Cameron Village has truly expanded into a “town within a town.”

From consignment boutiques to spa clinics to bakeries, Cameron Village has more than 100 opportunities for shopping, dining and overall pleasure. Throughout the years, the village has continued to grow and modernize its facilities. It frequently welcomes new services to further the positive, personal and communal connection to its Raleigh residents.

“It’s trendy and the prices are reasonable for the quality of goods,” said Alexandria Pitts, a junior in elementary education. “I love Cameron Village!”

Due to its convenient location, N.C. State students visit the village often and enjoy the limitless services. For frequent shoppers, it is renowned for providing an added benefit to the N.C. State experience. It strives to provide everyone, including students, with a diversity of amenities in a dynamic and appealing fashion.

How amazing is Centennial Campus?

Jessica Sadeckas COM 316 student

As a student at North Carolina State University, there are two different worlds to explore; the hustle and bustle of main campus and the relaxed open spaces of Centennial Campus.

For some, Centennial campus is the location of their classes, housing, and library but it can also serve as a getaway.

“This campus helps take away from the stress of school because of how comforting and open it is,” says Ben Meadows, a junior studying chemical engineering.

Centennial Campus is where students majoring in engineering, textiles, veterinary medicine, or attending graduate school spend most of their time.

In addition to classroom buildings, this large campus houses

more than 60 companies, government agencies and nonprofits, along with 75 N.C. State research and academic units.

From the moment you walk through the doors it is apparent that Hunt Library is a special place.

Swipe your student I.D. and gain access to one of the most technologically advanced libraries in the world. The James B. Hunt Jr. Library on N.C. State’s Centennial campus has become a beacon for people that want an immersive learning environment.

“I love coming to Hunt library,” said Kyle Salmon, a graduate student in accounting. “Even though it is a library focused on engineering and science, it is still a great place for students of other majors to come and complete school work.”

Hunt library opened its doors in January 2013 and by doing so opened an entirely new realm of learning opportunities for N.C. State students, faculty and partners. The library has become the cornerstone of Centennial campus and a place for students to further their education and socialize with their peers. Hunt is a large building that helps accommodate the growing amount of

users the N.C. State libraries serve on a daily basis.

The things that make Hunt special are advanced technology and design. The bookBot is one of the most exciting features of the library. With one click of a computer mouse multiple robots dart in and out of aisles to collect and deliver one of two million volumes held in the library. The overall design of the library encourages interaction with peers and technology. It inspires students to be creative and experiment to broaden their minds.

“Hunt is an awesome place that gives you a comfortable space to learn,” said Joseph Winker, a senior in PGA golf management. “Since it is on Centennial campus, it provides students with a convenient place to work.”

Hunt Library is an aweinspiring building that incorporates many features to create a lively and comfortable workspace. It is a technological marvel and a symbol of N.C. State’s dedication to educational advancement. Hunt is a place that everyone should visit during his or her time in Raleigh.
