North Carolina State University at Raleigh Top Questions

What are the academics like at North Carolina State University at Raleigh?

Shelby

My classes are small for the most part even though the school is really big. The professors take the time to make sure you succeed and the advisors are really helpful. NCSU prepares students for the real world while getting an education.

some of my professors know me by name, but i am in a lot of big classes where they only know me by student number. my favorite class was biology because the teacher was very lively and excited about the subject. students are very competitive but they also help each other out. i do not spend time with my professors outside of class or know them very personally.

In most of my clases the professor knows the students. The only classes I have had this wear where the professor does not know my name have been my science classes. The classrooms have been large lecture rooms and too many students for the teachers to know by name. However, in any situation the professors could have known my name. It is the student's responsibility at that point to take initiative.

Andy

I enjoy my large classes at NCSU because it takes the pressure off of you in the classroom when you just can't focus as well.

Sarah

Big Classes in biology, small classes in spanish

You can get as involved or uninvolved in your classes as you want to. Generally professors dont know you name. I am in textiles and I know a lot of the students in all of my classes, but the relationship with professors is not as close.

Carrie

I know all of my professors names. My favorite classes are PE related class and of course communication class which are my major.

Emily

The classes that relate to my major are always relatively small. The elective classes are larger sometimes, but I like that because I'm obviously not as interested in those subjects and don't want to be extremely active.

Emily

My favorite kinds of classes are the ones where the professor teaches without a bias. They present an idea but present both sides of it, which develops an atmosphere in the classroom that welcomes discussion. I recently had a professor that was so biased in his opinion on an issue that he was offensive and rude, making it uncomfortable to sit through the rest of his lecture.

If you do not work your ass off and attend the many worshipers in worship then you will certainly die.
