Incoming freshman after acceptation into NC State are then required to decide on where they may want to live. They are asked to pick their top 3 picks and then the school decides for them, based on the students top picks. So how should an incoming student decide on what their top 3 should be; well there are a lot of things that influence them. Common influences are: a lot of friends may want to live together, they have heard good things about a certain dorm, or location on campus. But the whole point of this blog is to tell you where you should not live if you are an incoming freshman.
First freshman are at a disadvantage because sophomores or upperclassman have first choice on where they want to live. And this is the main reason why Bragaw should be the last choice for incoming freshman. Why is this the main reason? Bragaw only has one alcohol free floor, so students that are 21 and still wish to live on campus can have alcohol or alcohol paraphernalia in their room. Bragaw is also the most requested place to live on campus because of its location right in the middle of everything.
Another dorm that freshman should stay away from is Avent Ferry. Avent Ferry houses many of the athletes that compete for NC State. This is because the rooms in Avent Ferry are a lot bigger and a little nicer than most, so they give a majority of the rooms to the athletes. Most freshman would also not enjoy living here because its located so far from the campus. So its hard to be involved in all the fun stuff located on campus for freshman when you live at Avent Ferry.
So if you are an incoming freshman and you are not sure what to put as your three choices I hope this helps you a little in knowing what not to pick. So what ever your reasons for where you want to live do not waste one of your top three picks on Bragaw or Avent Ferry.
