Question
NC State was a phenomenal college experience.Quite Bright
NC State was a phenomenal college experience. I grew as a person in terms of maturity and intellectual development. The academics in engineering were excellent, and I made a lot of friends. NC State is a well-grounded and unpretentious school. Nobody cares where you came from or how much money your family has - they're more concerned with who you are as a person. The people on campus are very friendly. You can talk to anyone. Being a large school, the student body isn't in to cliques or social groups. Instead, the student body is unified and a communal environment exists. NC State is like a large family that is always there for you as a student and an alumnus. I was highly challenged as an engineering student. The classes were competitive and interesting. Professors were approachable and did a good job bringing the technical curriculum to life. The social life at State was strong. Something is always going on in Raleigh, and you aren't far from the beaches or the mountains. The only negative I could say about State is that it is not a place for liberal arts. If you want to major in engineering, the sciences, architecture or agriculture, NC State is a great college experience. If you want to major in liberal arts, go to another school.

Question
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.
