North Carolina State University - Raleigh

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.

Campus Maintenance: B-, Faculty Accessibility: F

NC State is a university focused more on athletics than education. Additionally NC State has cost creep that continues to rise each academic year, yet nothing improves. There are many hidden costs attending NC State because of ridiculous student fees. The education quality is not very challenging or collaborative. In fact there is a division in campus culture between liberal arts and sciences. Many classes are divided to meet the needs of engineers or liberal arts majors. As for transfer credits you will find that those hard earned credits do not go far in out of state colleges. Nearly 70% of my NC State credits were accepted as low level credits at Texas Tech, UCLA, Arizona State and other colleges. The advantage of attending NC State is appropriate for a student seeking a degree that wishes to stay in North Carolina.

Alumnus Male -- Class 2000

Close-minded and conservative university. There are rarely people of color visible, homophobia is out of control, prejudice looms over any student not from the united states. I finally left to seek another university. The engineering department is way behind the national average when it comes to up-to-date education and technology.
