I really enjoyed attending NCSU. The only drawback was that covid hit during my freshman year, and I felt like I missed out on a lot of the college experience because of it. However, that was not the fault of my college. I enjoyed my classes, and felt pretty privileged to go to such a good school. I loved how many classes there were, and even as a graduate, I still take classes for fun. I was able to get a minor in entomology just because I love bugs. All of my professors were great and it was overall... Read More a good experience. However, I do have strong opinions about the way the university is run. I think it is frustrating that our chancellor is one of the highest paid in the United States, while our facilities employees have to have a second job to support themselves. Additionally, I don't like that so much of the tuition I paid is not contributing equally to the salaries of the most important employees, like the house and groundskeepers. These folks should not have to have a second job when the chancellor and the football coach are making millions

As I parked my car and walked across Campus, it was clear that I was one of the oldest students there. I was frequently called "Teacher" as I entered classrooms and plopped my decades old bookbag next to my desk. I was a nontraditional student, attending as a full-time employee and mother of 2 children. I was nervous about this fact and did not intend to do more than go to and from my classes. I was pleasantly surprised that the staff and students were so kind and welcoming to an "old" student like... Read More myself. I became a member of the wolf pack on day one and looked forward to spending my time at State. It was a great experience regardless of my age and life outside of campus. I attended games, study sessions and bought plenty of Alma-mater clothing. I highly recommend NSCU for those adults that decided to get a degree later in life. Most importantly, I showed my children that with grit and determination, anything is possible.

I had a great college experience at North Carolina State University. The school was big, but it still felt small. You get to know a good majority of people in your degree program, but you will not get to know everyone. Some degree programs are closer knit together than others. The friendships that you create will last a lifetime, you will earn a great degree, you will be challenged by the coursework, and manage to have fun. There were plenty of clubs and organizations to participate in and the sporting... Read More events were exciting. I really feel as though NC State prepared me for life after college and I feel confident in my degree. I highly recommend NC State. It has many amazing degree programs to chose from and is an all around respected school.
