North Carolina State University at Raleigh Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Justin

The best thing about NC State is the location. I love being near the capital. There's job oppurtunities...you aren't too far from the beach or the mountains. There's plenty of entertainment and sports. There are a lot of other things to do other than school. NC State also has excellent extracircular activitites and clubs. I am part of the club lacrosse team. The club lacrosse team gives me the oppurtunity to enjoy the sport I love, stay in shape, and travel to other schools to play their teams.

I think the best thing about my school is the campus activities that I do other than class. They provide fun and help releive the stress of classes.

The academic competition

Erikka

From my time at NCSU, I have come to find the professors to be very involved and interested in their students. They do all in their power to help students find their path, to find suitable classes for their chosen majors, to find jobs, and to find tutors for difficult classes. The professors are always open and easy to talk to, and enthusiatic about their teaching.

Christopher

My school offers a variety of classes to take both for my major, and also for other electives needed to graduate. NC State is well known for its diversity, and I have learned to appreciate the fact they do so. State has made me a better student in the year and a half I've been there, mainly because the curriculum is so much harder than a lot of "engineering focused" colleges. However, the challenge makes every day more and more interesting and also helps make me a stronger person.

I think the best thing about NC State is the quality of education you can recieve here. There are several legacies to come out of NC State, such as John Edwards and Caterpillar CEO, Jim Owens.

Terrence

The best thing I love about my school is how helpful faculty/staff can be once you get to know them. I also believe that the help the school makes available (i.e. tutoring services) is very good and benefits all students who apply themselves. The help you can receive from all these resources here are great. It really depends on the student and how they try to get help because resources are plentiful here.

Michael

The people. In my department I find the people are generally happy, and I have spent seven semesters enjoying going to class everyday.

Ray

Location is the best thing about this school. Raliegh has been ranked one of the best places economicly to live. There are many job opportunities in the research triangle park area.
