Traditions
  • Hillsborough Hike: Graduating seniors start drinking at Player's Retreat and try to hike their way up Hillsborough Street, going from bar to bar.
  • Homecoming: Each year there is a homecoming football game with a parade down Hillsborough Street. This is a time where students, alumni, and family get together for the tailgating, music, and the game.
  • Krispy Kreme Challenge: Conceived in 2004 by sophomore Chris McCoy, the Krispy Kreme Challenge involves a two-mile run from the Memorial Bell Tower to the Raleigh Krispy Kreme Bakery down the hill. Once there, the participants must each consume a dozen hot glazed doughnuts and race back up to the Bell Tower to finish. All proceeds go to support the North Carolina Children's Hospital, too-as if anyone needed more incentive to fill up on Krispy Kremes!
Urban Legends
Harrelson Hall was supposedly originally designed as an architecture student's senior project. The student received a failing grade on the project and was told that the design was inviable. Many years later, the University was taking bids on a new building, and the student-now a successful architect-proposed his original design, which became Harrelson Hall.
Favorite Things To Do
Exercise on the fields or in the gym, skateboard, rock climb, walk the scenic campus, sun bathe, throw a football or baseball, venture out and meet new people. There are always people hanging out and playing video games in the library. Some students enjoy the gym for working out or pick-up games while many go to chill at the Talley Student Center and grab a bite to eat. Another popular spot is the Brickyard, where students can also eat or hang with friends.
