Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Overall, the students’ experience with NCSU is that it provides them with a rich learning environment. Students learn to balance play and work. Some come to NC State because of family tradition, to get away from the cold, or because of the College of Engineering—but whatever the reason is for the individual, positive feedback always finds its way out. Professors at the University will go above and beyond their call of duty. You make lifelong friends, and you have a huge list of organizations to partake in. Whether you’re involved in a college sport, student government, or the Agribusiness Club, you will find your niche here among the thousands of students. Some professors will take you under their wing, and you will learn enormous amounts of information from them. These professors will also become lifelong connections who will probably end up writing letters of recommendation for you when it is time for you to find a job.

NC State wants its students to succeed not only in academics, but in life, too. Here you learn important lifelong skills that are essential to your survival in the real world. Classes can be rigorous and stressful, but students find a way to overcome hardships and get through. Professors will push you to do your best, but at the same time, they understand what it was like to be a student. NC State will help you become an expert in your subject of choice, and with the large number of students, you will come out of college ready to work in some of the most diverse settings.

I love being at NCSU. I would...

I love being at NCSU. I would probably do my freshman year over agian just so I wouldn't be fighting for my GPA now. I have tons of memories in Raleigh that I don't think I would have experienced anywhere else.

NCSU has been pretty good so far....

NCSU has been pretty good so far. The classes have been kind of easy, but at least they're challenging enough to keep me interested. Additionally, there's good study abroad opportunities offered here, which I believe are a really important part of a person's development. Another pro is the fact that it's a big school, so there's a lot of different types of people. No matter who you are, you'll find someone that you get along with.

I am grateful for my education...

I am grateful for my education here at State. As a student who originally came to State for a biochemistry degree, I have to say that the humanities department is hugely underrated. The English department is made up of really outstanding faculty. I can't say the same for all of the other departments, though. Generally, the professors here make themselves available and are always willing to help students outside of class, if necessary.
