With SGA Elections coming up, which issues should the leaders of next year address?— Samuel Torain

Housing issues should be addressed and also the motivation of students as far as grades improving and having better involvement in our university”  

briana_bennett

Briana Bennett

“As a freshman here at NCCU, I would like to see SGA connect more with people outside of SGA.”  

william_hopkins

William Hopkins

“They should address the issue of community service and making these opportunities more available to students, and advertising programs better.”

What would you like to see Campus Echo do differently?— Ryan Stowe

“More awareness. A mass e-mail from Campus Echo letting students know when the latest issue is be published”  

casi_johnson

Casi Johnson

“More entertainment and gossip. As much as people try to deny it, students love gossip. Placing some controversial topics in the Echo would increase reader ratings.”  

joshua_timberlake

Joshua Timberlake

“Campus Echo should be placed in other buildings and local stores in the community. So others can be more aware of what is going on at NCCU.”

What's your opinion of the proposed tuition increase next year?~Cameron I. James

I see no use in raising tuition especially if no new or upgraded changes will be made to better our education here at NCCU.

Shemika Roberts

Shemika Roberts

I think an increase in tuition will push students away and they will chose bigger universities over NCCU.

Michael Coley Jr.

Michael Coley Jr.

The increase in tuition is resulting in increased stress among students and possibly less productivity.

Quante Manuel

Do you think juniors and seniors should have to live off campus next year?~Quante Manuel

It should be an option for juniors and mandatory for seniors. Seniors should feel obligated to experience the outside of campus and prepare for the real world.

Samantha Kennedy

Samantha Kennedy

As a rising senior, I’m very disturbed about this situation. I believe the majority of students would have made the decision to move off campus. So therefore I feel that upperclassmen should have been given an option instead of a demand.

Tierra Burns

Tierra Burns

I believe that they should have the option to stay on campus if they desire to, because everyone is not fortunate to stay off campus.

Jahiem Boyd

How do you think President Obama is doing a year after the election?~ Jahiem Boyd

In contrast to the negative comments thrown at Barack, I feel he has done well in obliterating non-sense and justifying his position as head of state.

Brandon Johnson

Brandon Johnson

I believe that President Obama has done the best he could have so far. He still has a great amount of time to flourish ... change does not come overnight.

Jeron Hayes

Jeron Hayes

I feel President Obama is doing a great job in office, especially since he was left with such a workload, like the recession and the war going on in Iraq.

Chervae_Garner

How long would you wait for a late teacher and why? ~ Chervae Garner

Ten minutes, because I feel that if we should be able to come within 5-10 minutes of starting time, then why should they come later than that?

Daniel_Harrison

Daniel Harrison

Fifteen minutes and no longer. If we can be on time, the teacher should be too. We shouldn’t have to wait.  

joey_squire

Joey Squire

Depends on the teacher. No more than 10-15 minutes, just to be polite.

SOUND OFF, Sept. 1: How do you feel about living in the Millennium Hotel?

It's not so bad once you get used to it. It's very comfortable.Everything is pretty much like a normal hotel, house keeping and everything.  

charius_mclaughlin

Charius McLaughlin

It's good but they took advantage of us. It could be better. More stuff to do, give us a microwave, at least a pool and exercise machine.  

shaquana_townsend

I feel isolated and I might be missing out on different campus activities like interests groups, sororities, and lyceums because we have to come all the way back here.
