“Trying to graduate from this school was aQuite BrightNutrition
Trying to graduate from this school was a nightmare. My professors were crap in this department. And they lie oh they lie about jobs. NCSU is NOT accredited by the dietitic board. You will not get a job. I was rejected by numerous public health departments who said that if I had gone to Meredith/UNC/ecu they would have hired me. Why would I spend more money to go back to retake the same courses? Some TAS also run your classes. If you want a job go through food science. This dumb school rejected my brother into engineering school after making false promises he would get in. He got into another school and is now enjoying his undergradute. I transferred here and stuck it out but never should have graduated. My undergraduate GPA suffered and professors didn't care. I had to retake a bunch of classes at a tech school to attempt to go to master's . Avoid at all cost.

“Though NC State is a very large school,Quite BrightEnglish
Though NC State is a very large school, I have never felt like I was not an individual and that its size would hinder me. The campus is also large enough that I can never get tired of it, I know where everything is but there is always somewhere to explore or hang out more. NC State has the ability to attract a large variety of people- despite being more of a math and science school by size of those programs, the humanities and social sciences college is equally as strong.

“I hate the English program here, they doAverageEnglish
I hate the English program here, they do not have enough creative writing classes or enough variety in their electives for an English major. I transferred to State this past August and I hate it here! I do not feel safe whatsoever from all the emails from the school I get from what goes on at the dorms and downtown Raleigh isn't exactly the safest area depending where you are. I can't go to any extracurricular stuff because it's always after I get off work and it's at night and I refuse to go to that area at night. Some of the staff was really nice but for the whole, one of my teachers is a total jerk and most of the people I had to talk to about stuff at the university were rude and had no idea what I was talking about. Most of the students here are also rude and I hardly hang out with anyone because no one is willing to help me with my social anxiety and stress. I am now looking to apply to transfer to another school for their online degree just to get away from the school.
