Next week, I start my senior year at NC State. In the spirit of heading back to the Pack, I wanted to leave our readers with some of my favorite spots on campus to Think and Do.

Park Shops is my favorite place to grab snacks and coffee on campus. The smell of coffee from Port City Java is impossible to ignore. Pro tip: Take your coffee with you to one of the building’s study spots while you wait for class to start.

The Bookstacks in D. H. Hill Library is the best for group meetings. Students can reserve rooms with conference tables + dry erase walls. Plus, the views are unbeatable.

Court of North Carolina is the perfect spot to relax after a long day of lectures. This green space is decorated with lawn chairs + tables which are great for hanging out with friends, reading a book, or eating lunch.
