North Carolina State University - Raleigh

NC State is a good school that offers some good programs. The only problems I have with State is that the school is located in Raleigh, which there is almost nothing to do besides going to the mall and attending athletic events.

Social life at State is not as good as other schools, but there are a few bars on Hillsborough Street and in downtown Raleigh.

Athletics makes State fun to attend, going to games is a great way for students to interact and express theirselves and get things off their chest.

Students really stick with their own ethnic groups and there are some problems with out-of-state students especially yankees.

We are not hicks like some would suggest, but we perfer to keep everything within our own culture.
It will take you at least 5 years to graduate depending on your degree.
You can meet friends on the wolfweb.
Parking on campus really sux.
We need to fire Herb and maybe fire Amato.Our athletic department seems to accept the fact that our athletics mediocre.

NC State is well, NC State. You will either like it or hate it. Overall, the educational quality is good, but there are many professors and TA's that do not deserve to teach on a college campus. State has the rep of being a redneck and farmer school. There are many different majors besides ag... but I will say there are many racist people on campus. In the classroom, it is what ever you make it. If you study and just go to class and pay attention, you will get a good grade. Then you have your ball players that don't go to a single class and still pass, but I would not say that State is an easy school, but some get special treatment. Going to basketball games and other athletic events is one thing that makes NC State fun. Raleigh and the social life at State is one of the thing that make State suck. Raleigh is just boring for me and the cops are like nazis and break up every single off campus party there is. There are good and bad with attending State. Just make sure you do your research and find out where to stay on campus because some of the dorms suck.

Worst vet school in the country IMO. Professors are so out of touch with the reality of vet med that it is pathetic. Hours spent on pointless rote memorization of facts that could easily be looked up and have no pertinence to real life vet med. Do yourself a favor. Don't waste money on this vet school if you actually want to graduate competently enough to practice vet med and without a head full of mindless gibberish.
