<p>you can graduate once you reach 120 hours. that’s non-negotiable. i know several people who have graduated a semester early. i also know one person who had enough hours to graduate a year early, but chose not to.</p>
<p>pinkcupcake- you said that you were from nj. Has the distance been a challange, or did you always want to go somewhere far away?</p>
<p>Do you know if the athletes all stay in a dorm with other athletes, or do the students also intermingle with other athletes?</p>
<p>Do you know of anybody that has ever been an intern in the athletic department or was a manager for the basketball team or football team?</p>
<p>Has there been any update on the possible renovation of the fitness center?</p>
<p>I think thats it for now… Thanks a lot to everyone who helps answering questions on this thread, I know it has helped a lot of kids find what wake is really like</p>
<p>Athletes aren’t allowed to live in their own separate dorm - Palmer and Piccolo were originally built for that purpose, but the NCAA doesn’t allow separate dormitories for athletes anymore. Usually, the freshman athletes are roomed together, however, probably so if they have an early practice, they’re not waking up a non-athlete roommate (2 girls from the soccer team were roommates on my frosh hall).</p>
<p>There’s definitely opportunities for being a manager for basketball/football. I knew someone that was originally a manager for baseball (I think that was actually her work study job), then her sophomore year, she got moved to football.</p>
<p>There are plans to build a whole new student fitness complex - not sure when that will happen (supposedly sometime in the next few years), but it’s likely that a new facility will be built instead of a revamping of the existing facilities.</p>

<p>Hi 
Well, I actually applied to 15 schools … most of them were closer than Wake is, but none of them were super close to home (I applied to Rutgers, Lehigh, & NYU, but I think everything else was at least a couple of hours away). The distance HAS been a bit of a challenge … carting everything down to school is hard, booking flights home isn’t fun … the worst thing is being sick and away from home! I’m not the type of person who gets super home sick, but there are definitely positive things to be said about going to school closer to home (I was aiming for a 4-5 hour car ride). </p>
<p>There are good things about being far, too. You definitely feel very independent, and, for me at least (being from NJ), you feel like you’re a part of a completely different culture. The South is different from the North. I’m glad I’m far, but going this far isn’t for everyone (and going FURTHER is definitely for some people, too).</p>
<p>Is it hard balancing clubs, school work, and possible greek life? How many clubs do people normally handle with out a problem? Does the Screamin Deamons require a lot of time and work?</p>
<p>Hi there, currently WFU is my number one but I’m seriously scared to do Early Decision because of some students review I’ve read. I hope that this question would be answered honestly for 4 years of my life depends on it (to an extent). How does the culture at WFU differs for students who take part in Greek Life compare to those who don’t? Does racism or racial tension exists greatly at the University? For students who do take part in Greek Life (Frat) does hazing exists and how diificult are these activities?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
