size of some classes

Walking to class in the rain! You can't use board bucks in the C Store.

atmosphere (brick, brick, brick!!) everything is very close together not enough "green space" my FYC advisor (Chris Chafin) was probably the worst one there. he constantly missed one-on-one appointments and always seemed to be very scattered and disorganized

Academics are only challenging for those who choose to make them so.

The professors in my department are more research focused than teaching focused, and that makes them unavailable to students.

Our sports teams haven't been doing very well lately.

The worst thing about my school is that there are bricks everywhere and, when it rains, they become very slippery. Needless to say, there have been many wipeouts on rainy days when students are in too much of a hurry.

The worst thing about NCSU is the construction. Many times you have to take different paths because your usual one is blocked for construction. This can make you late very frequently. Also, the dining hall food isn't very good. We do have a Chik-Fil-A, Taco Bell, and Lil Dinos, but more choices would be great!

At first, I thought that NCSU had a heinous campus. After one semester, I realized that I simply had to know where to go to find the truly beautiful spots. Another disadvantage is the railroad tracks that bisect the campus. There are three tunnels that make it easy to get to either side, and since I know nothing different I don't see them as too much of a problem, but sometimes I think it must be great not to have to go out of the way to a tunnel!
