Although I have only been to North Carolina A&T as a visitor, not as a student, if I were to describe the campus in one word, it would be spirited. The students and staff are actively engaged not only on campus but also within the surrounding community and across North Carolina. My first encounter with the university came through its outreach programs to local high schools, demonstrating A&T’s commitment to fostering connections with prospective students. During my visit, I was struck by the friendly nature of the faculty and staff, as well as the welcoming and relatable atmosphere created by the students. One of the highlights for me was experiencing the energy of the sports games, which are among the liveliest I’ve ever attended. With vibrant music, engaging entertainment, and a festive environment, these events keep people coming back again. However, A&T is far more than just a “party college,” as others may say. I’ve seen firsthand the many academic programs designed to support and challenge students, as well as numerous spaces dedicated to studying and collaborative learning. This balance between academics and social life is one of the reasons I like this university. The campus holds personal significance for me, particularly its historic landmarks. Sites such as the Dudley Building, Murphy Hall, the remains of Scott Hall, and the Reflecting Pool inspire a deep sense of respect for the university’s past and legacy. I have already applied to A&T for the fall semester, and I hope to be accepted so I can be a part of this crowd. I look forward to experiencing the Aggie Pride!

North Carolina A&T is a diverse college filled with many people that share the same inspirations as one another. Its a college filled with joy, excitement for life and parities. Its easy to make friend sand have conversations with he people that share the same opinions as you.

Kiri - 09/26/2024

When I visited North Carolina A & T, I immediately knew I wanted to attend there. First of all, the campus is beautiful and the architecture are astounding, but I want to go because of the school spirit and community. At my current high school, the school spirit is less than none and it's vocalized heavily, but at NCAT it was the complete opposite of what I was used to, with people yelling "Aggie Pride!" left and right. Not to mention the people. The people there truly love the school and are not just going to get good grades. The students not only make friends but have amazing networking opportunities and the teachers always encourage them to go out and make themselves known because "Aggies do". All in all the university is amazing and I hope to attend in the fall of 2025!

David - 06/28/2024

I believe the diverse culture extends an olive branch to people who are introverted, helping them be more active in today's society. Although the food isn't like a home cooked meal, they provide wide variety of meals and treat for the student to indulge in, which I am grateful for. The professors are available when I need them, and it benefits me to seek them out when I need proper guidance.

    If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I advise myself to buckle down and get ready for the real world simply because it came and smacked me in my face. As much as I thought I was I never fully prepared to become an adult. Another thing I would advise myself to do would be to have saved more money to bring with me to school because its difficult living on my own without my family and having to provide for myself with limitied income.

  14. What are the academics like at your school?

    All of my professors know my name. My favorite class is probably Biology just because my instructor made things incredibly easy to understand. My least favorite class is defenitly physics because it takes a ton of work in order to grab the key concepts of the class. Therefore it takes a ton of study time to get better at. Students at my school especially in the engineering department are always studying and having intellectual conversations outside of class and competiting in there school work. I'm an Architectural Engineering major and my department and advisors are very helpful and I spend a lot of time talking with them whenever I need something. I feel that the schools current academic requiremts are a fine standard. Education at North Carolina A&T is geared towards getting a job and making you efficent in the workplace.

  15. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    I love my school because it helps promote acdemic success and it prepares us thoroughly for the working world. It is just the right size not to small or too large. I spend most of my time in the student union eating or meeting with fellow classmates. The schools adminstration could be more effecient by getting us information in a timely manner. Students complain about this and tuition often but despite the complaints all students have tons of AGGIE PRIDE. The atmosphere at the school is unforgettable and something that'll be with me my entire life.
