North Carolina State Campus Life Reviews

The food is fantastic, I can't believe how great it was.

Live their campus. Easily walkable and Hillsborough street is great.

Hello, I am interested in becoming a Veterinarian in this school. I have heard it is a tremendous school, and it is one of the best school for upcoming Veterinarians. I am hoping I get in! I am 13, and can't wait any longer. I love working with animals!

I graduated from North Carolina State University with a Bachelor's degree in Microbiology, minors in Genetics and Biotechnology in 2005.
My years at NCSU were the best. I had incredible teachers. Thanks to my advisor Dr. James Brown who was are encouraging and always there when I needed advise.
I highly recommend NCSU. I was completely prepared to take my next step after graduation. Today, I am a Microbiologist. I love my career!

Great student body and great campus. More than I could have ever asked for.

Very diverse atmosphere, great learning experience.

GO PACK! Part of the UNC System! This school is awesome and such a beautiful place to visit too! The University has so many diverse Colleges there is definitely something for everyone. Of course there is also the sports!

Greetings to those interested in NCSU! I recently graduated in May, being a graduate from the College of Design. Whatever you do within the design school, DON'T do architecture as your major. Upon graduating, many of my peers could not acquire internships due to the lack of education provided by NCSU. While these firms required us having knowledge of certain programs such as Revit and Rhino, we didn't even open them within our "digital media class". Many of the studio teachers are also very bias in their critiques and will lower your grade greatly if you do not listen to every single thing they say about "your" design. If I wanted to make the same project as 18 of my classmates, I wouldn't have gone into architecture.
As for the rest of the classes, if you don't mind all of them eventually being online, you're all set. Budget cuts have heavily taken their tole on the college of design, while the Chancellor gets a $4 million dollar house. Ideal I know. The college of design has been cutting degree programs due to this cut as well as putting very important classes online instead of within a lecture hall. Finally while NCSU is "the best" design school in the area (NC) it lacks the education to make future architects viable competitors after graduation. This being due to the simple lack of digital media taught, as well as trapping students to attend their 5th year bachelors program.
I say trapped because that is precisely what they did. Your (if you continue to NCSU) senior year in architecture is a joke. The first semester you have the opportunity to travel abroad to Prague. While it is an amazing trip, you basically drink most of the time and take classes that don't really enhance your knowledge of design. Then upon returning you are able to take a swing studio, meaning take a studio that is not architecture. If you decide to do this, you have basically just taken off a full year of architecture right before entering the competitive job field.... good luck. Back to the point of being trapped, in order to attend roughly 90% of architectural masters programs, you need to take the GREs. However, these tests are only available to take when you would travel overseas! Another key note is that not once in my four years at NCSU had I heard about these GREs. Thanks NCSU. Because of this, again nearly 90% of my graduating class is attending NCSUs 5th year program, which is exactly the same as the previous 4 years.
I was lucky enough to apply to a much better masters program and get in, I hope this allows you to do the same if you attend NCSU or are currently reviewing schools. Good luck.

Very wonderful school to learn at the campus is absolutely breathtaking and amazing. The school is extremely popular and the football team is great. The school hosts wide varieties of clubs and other various activities that never leave you bored. The staff on campus is amazing and the students are even better. GO PACK

Ridiculous parking ticket prices and unusable website.

In the glorious exterior, there are bitter and unspeakable secrets. You are studying there, but you don't know that there are so many humble people who are keeping the entire campus tidy and organized. At the same time, they suffer from racial discrimination, but no one wants to stand up for justice. Those general managers and supervisors abused their power to treat you like a donkey. I worked as a Janitor there for a while, so it's purely a talk of experience.

An awesome University for Computer Networks and Biological studies and textiles.

Good University for learning, but not the best in this area!

Quality school with a beautiful campus. The sporting events are top class football, basketball, baseball etc! The academics are quality as well, with great programs in engineering, agriculture, statistics and many more. Top of the line research is done here. The campus is also beautiful. Check out the Brickyard and the Court of Carolinas. The wolf ears by the brickyard is a cool thing to try as well. You can sit in them and hear the other person whispering across the field!

Move in day, and I'm in tears. My only baby is now on her transition into the real world. I trust that these folks will take great care of my child...

I visited One of the oldest and top ranked university in the world,one of the best kind library more than lakh books operated and maintained by robot and visited soccer stadium

The Nika Bay Unga gave excellent service to me and my.coworker today. She showed outstanding patience and understanding. We need more workers like this

Beautiful campus in downtown Raleigh. Good atmosphere and clean.

your typical big state school with a big student body, big classroom sizes, and big emphasis on football and basketball.

Nice place to walk around if you're on Hillsborough St.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

I go to the arboretum the most. LOVE that place!! NCSU has so many interesting depts and activities...so glad to live on same side of town.

The best college in North Carolina hands down no debate. Amazing people, amazing professors, fantastic dining, and the prettiest bricks you'll ever see.

Had to take my dog here - Veterinary School/Dermatology. Very professional staff. Hopefully they'll a solution and help my girl get better.

Campus is pretty, faculty is pretty nice. Layout for student parking can be a massive pain at times.

I miss my classes there... hopefully we ll soon hear good news that this COVID 19 will be over soon... we wanna return to our normal life

Great Parks rec and tourism program and a beautiful campus

The Engineering school here are really excellent , and it is getting better over time

- modern new dorm next to the engineering campus.
- new high tech library that operate by robots and have very nice and relaxing atmosphere to study .
- the old Hunt library is also amazing
- very strong relationships with industry people and top companies here in USA

Great college. Amazing football team and great teachers. GO WOLFPACK!!

Great environment, great atmosphere, great people, great times and great in general. You should apply here if you want a great time.

The Hunt Library and Engineering buildings on Centennial Campus are amazing.

I live in this area. Wolfline and GoRaleigh transportation is great.

The real people's University of North Carolina with a rich history of helping the working folks in the state, unlike some other places I won't name. It's a great place to be a student or work. It is a must that you visit Talley Student center and get some Howling Cow ice cream. Also keep an eye out for the arts performances.

great education, great environment to learn. incredible leadership. NCSU is truly the best bang for your buck when it comes to education in the eastern US.

12 college's with in this university. You can study everything from accounting to nuclear engineering. This is a science focused university. So get ready for some long nights studying.

Quality University. I spent 4 years here getting a Bachelors in Engineering. If you are here visiting, just make sure to check that where you are parking is not permitted since the meter maids are pretty ruthless. Beautiful campus to visit though!

Go WOLFPACK!! Love the beautiful campus. Superb University.

I feel really disappointed and disrespected by your school s admission office especially on Jenkins Professional evening MBA program.

It took me almost 5 months to prepare and apply to this program, and yes, I took an interview on Jun 9th, then got a rejection letter by June 16th. It took literally 4 days for the admission office to review my 5 months application and then rejected me with nonsense of reasons, and online it says it normally takes 30 days after the interview. What a joke!

And I think now I got it, maybe because I m Asian, to be Political right, you only need one Asian in your class and you might already have one. Or maybe you ready had a finalized list for your next enroll students, and the rest students are just going through the process and another way of profit??? Disgusting!

I will never apply NCSU any programs again and I will tell all my friends and colleagues of this ridiculous 4 days MBA decision . This is a school full of conspiracies. You should be ashamed. I am not angry, but feel pity of your school. No wonder Jenkins never go over 50 on MBA rankings. You will never do.

Fantastic higher learning location. Looking forward to the experience.

Great Visit today. Ran into some cool students that showed us around their Design Studio. Campus was busy and parking was tight. But there's always somewhere to park. The weekend makes it a little easier!

Amazing, the Student Staffers are very professional and highly knowledgeable. My sophomore daughters move in was a lot easier this year. NC States strategy for move-ins during COVID, perfection.

Amazing campus and college. It was my first choice when it came to picking colleges and I have no regrets. The campus is beautiful and well laid out, and once you know the layout it's very nice to walk around. Even as a graduate it's nice to visit once in a while, for nostalgia's sake.

Great professors. Clean. Awesome environment. Miss this place so much.

A lively campus with many resources that can be found. Great food places as well as good study places.

Large land grant university and bricks. So many bricks.

In my opinion, the best part about NCSU is the campus. The architecture is great and there is plenty of greenery. The worst part about NCSU is that it's a modern day university which means a lot of money and emphasis goes into sports, a lot of encouragement goes into (for most people) unnecessary degrees, and a lot of class requirements for majors that make very little sense.

UNC was my #1 choice, but I didn't get in. I was pleasantly surprised with NC State though. Me and my friends have all found jobs.

If you search up cheats this will come up bc they cheated

Moving out already, after moving in less than a month ago. Dang pandemic.

I work here I am responsible for all the controls for 5 power plants that generate electricity, steam, heating hot water, domestic hot water. and chillers which produce cold water for air conditioning as well as pump stations for city water. This University is a city in itself.

Amazing school! I lived in Wolf Village the rooms are small but overall not so bad. The school has wonderful resources all around. Plenty of opportunities to get involved not only on campus but in the surrounding community. Can't beat buses that are FREE to the public. That's a cool way for the school to give to the community. One of my most favorite places would be the library. The library there is way different than the traditional library where the main concern is whether you have food in your purse or not and the librarian seems to hate life. At this library you're actually allowed to eat because you're a grown up that can handle food. Everyone I've ever met working on the library was beyond helpful and amazingly nice. I won't even get started on how the library is set up . Anyway, I could go on and on about the school but you get it. OK ONE MORE THING... I loved being able to go to the final aid office and acutely hey help in a timely and non-stressful manner. That's very important. Also the health center is an amazing resource ( ok that was 2 more things).

Great school, friendly staff, modern amenities, well equipped research facilities and some outstanding faculty.

While I had very great experiences, I also had trouble getting in contact with the faculty there. When I was searching for a biology adviser, I often did not get any response through email. Although the professors that did answer were helpful, there were some that did not respond at all and made the whole process frustrating. I really suggest they make more time for answering emails from prospective students or at least sending a denial. I emailed AND called one professor with no response. I know that they get a lot of requests, but I also called the office and did not get any advice other than to keep trying and that the professors are busy. I sent multiple emails to the professors, however. While the office was helpful and the professors that did answer were helpful, the ones that did not respond after being reached multiple times reflect badly on the ones that were trying to be helpful. I have decided to move on to a different school, although the program is really good and I love the city. I am tired of being frustrated. This is not to discourage someone who wants to apply. I would say go for it. This is just my experience, and I would say to the faculty that did not respond: they should have the courtesy to at least send a decline. To the faculty that did help, thank you for your advice and time. Hopefully, someone else has a better experience

It's a great place to work! Twenty two years to be exact.

Just graduated in May and I miss this place already. Excellent school to attend

Great atmosphere, but the dessert menu could use a few more options. Harrelson hall was above average.

BEST SCHOOL EVER!!!!!!!! LITERALLY! Could not picture myself anywhere else.

Have been here multiple times for service and daily activities! Is a beautiful campus with lots of great opportunity and places.
