Tunnels

There are tunnels under the train tracks and in one you are allowed to paint and spray paint whatever you want. It is called the freedom expression tunnel. Whenever State plays UNC there is a ram roast and people stay up all night to paint the tunnel red and keep red.

Different Stereotypes

At NC State there are different cliques. It is not a positive nor negative aspect of campus. This school is big on agriculture therefore we have a lot of southern students. NC State is also big in Greek life, so we have alot of sorority girls and fraternity boys.

Campus Safety

Public safety personnel do a good job of alerting students to campus crime, etc. I do not live on campus and can say that in the one year and a half that I have bee enrolled, there has not been any major criminal activity.

Buses Are Great - and Free!

Public transportation is very useful to students at NCSU. There are many pick-up/drop-off points, usually within a 10-minute walk of all of the main buildings on campus. Buses also run all the time, so if you need to get on one you'll only have to wait 10 or 15 minutes.

A Huge Melting Pot

NCSU has a huge range of different types of people, and it doesn't just stop at race. While we have many races, we also have many religions, beliefs, sexualities, political views, and personalities at NCSU.

Very Diverse and Accepting

Every campus has that group of students who hates everyone and isn't afraid to show that, but for the most part here at State everyone is very friendly and accepting to all genders and races.

Friendly and Open

The dorms at NC State are pretty good. Main thing is applying early and getting into dorms closer to central campus. Overall housing is very open and fun.

Skip Downtown

If you arent ready to pay for gas, parking, and then high end liquors and walking then just hang around campus areas. Try to find a dorm or apartment party at the least, then if going down the street to say Sammy's then finding a chill place to meet new people or hang with friends isnt far actually. Do have many 'go-to' friends if you are ina bind and dont have a secure ride, as the taxi system is very sketchy.

Not Too Sure

Alcohol is a problem off campus but on campus, rules are enforced. I try not to involve myself personally in crowds that use alcohol or drugs illegaly- so it's hard to provide a full assessment

Think About Villages!

NC State offers a lot of Living and Learning Villages that are normally located in the nicest dorms on campus. I lived in the the Arts Village my freshman year, and we were given free admission to fine arts performances and lived in the best dorms right next to the gym. Although you spend extra time doing activities for them, the rewards are great.

Underclassmen Dorms Have Great Locations

Many dorms are centrally located. Those towards the edge of campus make up for the location by being very large.

Greek LIFE!!

Greek life can be seen all around campus. Our greek community is apart of almost every aspect of life on campus. It is a status symbol to be a part of the greek community. On the weekends most people can be found going to frat parties and the sorority girls have fun going our too.

Wolfpack in Da House

Our football team and season is amazing. The tailgating and school spirit at the games is unrivaled in the ACC. We also have possibly the top athletic facilities in the ACC and the atmosphere they provide is incredible. Our basketball team leaves a little to be desired but with a new coach coming in next year hopefully things will turn around and our team will live up to the monumental gym they play in. Our intramural and club sports offer a wide variety of sports to everyone to enjoy and a large portion of our student body participates in them.

The Free Expression Tunnel

Our Campus is split by train tracks so we have tunnels that connect the two sides. One tunnel is called the free expression tunnel that students can paint in and express themselves. It is also a great way for clubs to advertise for themselves.

The dining facilities at NCSU are really great! I am very impressed with the work that they have done to provide different options to students. I am especially impressed with the facilities that provide for the students with dietary needs that may be different.

I feel completely safe at state. We've got campus police that are always a phone call away from us in case we feel threatened. I haven't had any problems!

Parking is alright once you can get a good permit as a sophomore, but as a freshman - you have to take a bus to get to your car.

Diverse Learning Environment

For high school, I went to a small private school with a homogenous population of middle class white students. When I came to NC State, I was exposed to a very diverse population which very much represents the real world. The world is consisted of hundreds of different cultures, races, and religions. Experiencing this type of environment enriched my awareness of the beauty of having a diverse population of students who all want to obtain a higher education and a better life.

Campus Strictness at North Carolina State University

Strictness

Of course, there's strict policies on underage drinking and drug use, but that's not just a campus thing. I've never really heard anything around campus of the police getting serious due to student. Maybe a frat party getting shut down, but most students are pretty discrete with these dealings. There's only one serious incident with a student where police had to actually taser him because he was high and destroying campus property.

Off Campus Dining Near NCSU

There are tons of restaurants down Hillsborough Street, on the north side of NCSU. There is a large variety of places including Chinese and Mediterranean. Many places give out student discounts or handout coupons to campus residents. Some places are cheaper than what you would expect with excellent food and service. Others are around their normal price range such as Subway and Dunkin Donuts.
