The school is great, and I would neverQuite BrightEngineering Department
The school is great, and I would never choose another. The campus may have the most bricks of any campus in all the US, but its something that grows on you and you learn to love it. Many of the staff members are super helpful and try to help you succeed. Their office hours are the most helpful to get a 1 on 1 with the teacher. There are tons of new people to meet and we are all friendly if you just carry on a normal conversation.

Question
I grew up loving the Wolfpack, so choosingQuite BrightNutrition
I grew up loving the Wolfpack, so choosing to attend NC State was a no brainer for me. I graduated in May of 2009 with a degree in Nutrition Science, and I am now in nursing school and UNC-Charlotte. I feel that my classes at NCSU prepared me extremely well for my nursing school course load, and have absolutely no regrets about getting my Bachelor's degree prior to my nursing degree. I miss this university and the passionate fan base (I still rock my Wolfpack gear around UNCC!), and would highly recommend choosing NC State for your college experience.

Question
Going to NCSU was the best decision IBrightOther
Going to NCSU was the best decision I ever made. It was the best time of my life, and I'm back there for my MS degree.

I felt at home immediately and in no time I was in the Wolfpack Club seating screaming my head off at games. I made great friends, both inside and outside of the Greek system, which is present but not overwhelming as on other campuses.

Parts of the campus are absolutely beautiful, while others not so much. Lounging on the hill on the Court of NC in between classes with tons of friends on a nice spring day is one of my favorite memories. That and Brent Road parties, which died after 1999 unfortunately.

I never felt like I needed a car to get anywhere since everything was pretty easy to get to, and I had plenty of friends offering rides when I needed them. Glenwood bars in downtown Raleigh have been improved since I graduated and came back, and now the night life is a million times better than it was in the 90s.

I only had a few really large classes, like physics, biology, and calc. But I always thought my TAs were helpful, if really dorky. :)

I have gotten great jobs and alumni ties are strong. NCSU is an awesome place and I can't think of too many people who didn't love it.
