“I am in love with NC State.Not so brightZoology
I am in love with NC State. If you are an engineering or biological sciences major, then I highly recommend it. A lot of my friends are in Humanities and Social Science programs, and for half of them they have said they would like to transfer to a school with better Humanities programs. However, the rest of them seem to have positive experiences despite our "lack" of a good Humanities program. So if you are going into something other than engineering, agriculture, or biological sciences, I would make sure you visit the school and really get connected to your future school of study before you decide whether or not to come to NCSU to avoid program disappointment. The social life is amazing here, and there are so many people that it is really easy to find friends. There is always something to do on or off campus. The best thing about NCSU is the school spirit. Whether we win or not we always support our team and have fun.

“My first two years I was an engineeringBrightElectrical Engineering
My first two years I was an engineering major. The culture was competitive and challenging, but I could see that life in front of a computer screen was not what I wanted. However, my parents are engineers and they really pressed me all my life to be an engineer and State has very high ranking for the quality of its engineering program, but I could see that I wasn’t going to be happy. I want to save the world and I don’t see engineering helping. One of my dorm friends is a forestry major. He had lots of good stories about what was going on, on the other side of the tracks (ugly railroad tracks split the campus into north and south). After a lot of thought I transferred into forestry. I cannot believe all the opportunities that forestry offers. It is like an hidden oasis in the middle of the desert that only the lucky find.

“I think that NC State is a greatBrightUndecided
I think that NC State is a great university. It provides a quality education. Some people think the campus isn't that great or hate the bricks, but honestly I chose this school over Virginia Tech which is renowned for its beauty. I love NC State because it gives you a sense of purpose because you are going to a school that is such highly ranked in everything science and technology based including math, textiles, design, and business. There are so many opportunities here for a great value.
