Announcement r/UNC Mod Recruitment

45 Upvotes

Hi everyone! It's come to my attention that I'm the last remaining (somewhat) active mod on r/UNC. I graduated in 2024 and have since been busy with medical school (not at UNC), so I would love some help with the sub.

I'll be accepting applications for mods on a rolling basis. You'd be volunteering some time and energy, but the job itself is rather low commitment since we are quite hands-off.

Anyone who is an active member of the sub is encouraged to apply, but I'd prefer students (undergrad and grad) or faculty since they can speak more to the academic experience.

Here's the link if you are interested in applying: https://www.reddit.com/r/UNC/application/

It shouldn't take you more than 10-15 minutes to complete.

Discussion interview opportunity

Hi! I’m a UNC student currently taking a Sociology summer course, and I’m looking for a few students who receive financial aid to participate in a short interview about their experiences with financial aid and college expenses.

The interview will be audio-only, confidential, and about 15-20 minutes. As a thank-you, I’d be happy to send a gift card for coffee!

Hi so I’m an incoming freshman at unc and I took intermediate Spanish at the community college I was enrolled in. The global language requirement shows it has been fulfilled on my Tar Heel tracker. Do I still have to take the placement test? I have no intention of continuing Spanish while at UNC.

Question Looking for Housing

Hey Tar Heels,

I just got off the waitlist as a transfer student to UNC, and I need somewhere to live. Me and my roommate both got in, so we are looking to see if anyone would like to live together for an apartment or if anyone needs their lease taken over. We would love any other suggestions and advice as well. Thank you!

Question Resources and tips for students with Long Covid?

1 Upvotes

I got Covid earlier this year and I developed long covid :( I’ve been really struggling with brain fog and chronic fatigue, so reading is physically painful and strenuous and I nap multiple times throughout the day. I was wondering what resources and tips yall might have for UNC students struggling with long covid. I’ve never struggled with classes or school work before, but I’m so nervous that I won’t be able to keep up next year, especially since it’s my senior year.

Question Lease takeover available, how do I reach people?

0 Upvotes

I have a lease for an apartment in Chapel Hill for August 1st. Plans changed and I won’t be moving in. What is best way to get this in front of those looking last minute? Facebook groups are charging, which I will pay if needed. Also I can offer $1k as an incentive. I don’t want to turn this into an add but I have the details if needed. More interested in thoughts and strategies since AI’s advice seems pretty generic in this case.

Question Storage Unit Recs?

2 Upvotes

I'm an out of state student looking for a cheaper storage unit for the semester since I'm studying abroad. I've used prime storage before but they always find a way to jack up the price while my items are in storage (which I'm not sure if that's even legal). I'm okay with it being a bit of a farther drive from main campus as well!
