Students who lived both on-and off-campus had to traverse icy conditions Thursday to attend classes, as N.C. State decided to not cancel its classes for Raleigh’s second day of snow.

Administrators from the University, including Campus Police and Student Health, did not respond in time to comment on the reasons for their decision.

But many students were upset with the decision.

Student forums, such as the Wolfpack Students Facebook page, were filled with students who couldn’t believe that they were forced to attend class considering the conditions.

Off-campus students were faced with the most obvious risk, as many had to drive in the slick conditions. Several students posted pictures and videos of roads in Raleigh that were still covered in ice and snow. 

Several drivers were involved in accidents on Wednesday and Thursday.

According to @Raleigh911, the Raleigh-Wake County 911 Incident Data Twitter Account, more than 100 car-related incidents were reported since Wednesday night.

One poster on Facebook stated that he had to pull a car out of a ditch near the N.C. State-owned buildings on Lake Wheeler Rd. 

Many students were at risk for such accidents, as students who live off-campus make up more than 70 percent of N.C. State’s population, according to US News and World Report. 

However, the danger was not only for those students who had to drive.

Students who live on-campus were faced with dangerous conditions as well, with several students reporting that they slipped while attempting to walk on the ice, which still covered a large portion of the sidewalks and roads on campus.

One Facebook poster said that she twisted her ankle while falling on campus Thursday. 

While N.C. State officials decided not to cancel classes, Wake County Public Schools, Duke University and ECU all decided to shut down on Thursday. East Carolina University and Wake County closed today as well.
