If you cant wait to get out ofQuite Bright
If you cant wait to get out of high school to be even more miserable than you were while you were in, stop searching because you have found your university. If you are a high school boy ready to find the awesome college girls coupled with the wild college sexual experiences, look elsewhere because you are basically looking at an all boys school. The girls who do go to this college on generally a 5 out of 10, and because they are surrounded by thousands desperate guys they believe they are nothing short of a 10 out of 10. Everyone on campus is a direct descendent of John Deere himself. If you like and support George Bush simply because mom and dad told you to with out any other justification, you will have lots of friends. The groups of friends you find here are the kind that last for at most a semester at a time (sometimes weeks). Expect nothing more or less, no one really gives a shit about any one else here. The only diversity on campus is in the classes taught by T.A.'s, where you must be logged on to "freetranslation.com" to understand anything going on in class. I have litterally spent full class periods with my peers teaching "teachers" how to speak English. I came into NCSU as a FYC (first year college) student, basically someone with no idea what they wanted to major in. My advisor "hawkins-morton" may have been the most uneducated individual I have ever met. She was incapable of spelling and pronouncing basic words a 4th grader could grasp. In her defense she was very creative with the English language, and often created her own words by combining two words she had not quite grasped yet. She had no idea what she was ever doing, and I would rather go to the nearby primate center for academic advising then visit her office ever again. This is the biggest joke of an institution you could ever imagine. Save your tuition money, and get a library card. You will pay your tuition to NCSU to be told what books to then go buy at the book store, and then learn the material on your own from there. I can not express how much I regret wasting any of my life at this institution, and wish I was in a position to shut it down for the advancement of the human race.

Question
North Carolina State is an excellent university thatQuite BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
North Carolina State is an excellent university that deserves praise for its helpful faculty, friendly student body, fun athletic events, and superb resources and facilities. I had a great experience while attending NC State and have trouble understanding why several other reviewers have left negative comments. While it is true that NC State's campus' aesthetics are not its strongest point, the city of Raleigh (which is ranked in the top 5 best cities to live in both overall and for singles by several magazines like Fortune, and is also ranked as "the #1 city for jobs" by Fortune) more than compensates for that weakness. Although the engineering and textiles schools are arguably NC State's most reputable programs, every college within the university has top-notch faculty and does a wonderful job preparing students for the work force in whichever field they may be pursuing after graduation.

Question
I cant begin to tell you how muchBrightJournalism
I cant begin to tell you how much this school sucks! The academics are the easiest thing on earth and the social life is horrible. The city of Raleigh is the most boring place in the universe. The one bright spot of the school is getting drunk at the athletic events, the pack never wins buts its fun to dream!! The campus is alright, there are some decent parts but the majority of the campus is extremely ugly... Try wake forest or UNC
