North Carolina State University at Raleigh Top Questions

When my friends ask me about NC state, I'll brag about how the library was open twenty-four hours per day, how it was nine stories tall. You could find anything in that library -- read every major newspaper, every literary journal, novels, text-books...It was all there, and seemed to represent the center of knowledge, a towering, prestigious reminder of the value of an academic lifestyle.

The school nicely combines urban settings with a quaint, personable atmosphere. The school is reputable in many disciplines, and is well enough endowed to meet the interests of nearly any prospective student. In the Humanities college where I have spent my time, the classes are engaging, but absolutely managable, research opportunities and internships are available to the dedicated seeker, and my greatest endorsement is the quality of the faculty. Extra-curricular activities are diverse and welcoming, and the amenities available on campus are leading edge.

I love how organized and professional the staff and faculty is towards incoming, current, and former students. I also really appreciate how technologically advanced NC State is. I love the way online classes work and the accessibility to the library through the internet. The community at NC State is just great and I enjoy being here.

I have not yet attended the school, I am a transfer student heading to NC State for the spring semester, but I couldn't be more excited! Most of my friends have gone on to community colleges, or universities in the vacinity of my native Rochester, NY. Although heading many states away is nerve wracking, I accept the challenge head on and love knowing i will be getting a unique college experience as opposed to that of my friends, one of which they will be excited to hear about; and I will be ready to share.

The awesome ways that I get to be involved in campus and show my support!

The diversity and atmosphere are the most fantastic aspects of NC State! When you walk around the campus, you are bound to meet people from all over the county, state, country, and even other countries! This diversity creates a warm and friendly atmosphere that cannot be surpassed by any other university. THIS, is what makes NC State the perfect place to be!

How well organized programs and resources are. And the vast amount of resources and oportunities that aren't avalible else where.

When I go home and talk to my friends about NC State, the main thing I brag about are the people here. I'm from Maryland, which some people consider to be "the north", and I've discovered that southern hospitality isn't just a myth. The majority of students here are genuinely nice people, constantly saying ma'am/ sir, holding doors open, picking up dropped items, and even friendly "hello's" from peers in class. It was definitely a welcome change from what I was used to, after growing up right outside of DC.

There are many chances to meet new people and make more friends. Such events as football games, career fairs, and seminars are a great place to meet people.

North Carolina State University is a fun-loving campus, in which someone can feel at home. There are many organizations to get involved in and feel like you are a part of the university. There are always club meetings, sporting events, or social events happening on campus. Any where you go, you will find something to do. It is a diverse campus and anyone will find some way to fit in. Go Wolfpack!
