North Carolina State University at Raleigh Top Questions

If you want small class sizes, for your professors to hold your hand thorugh assignments, and dont plan to put mcuh time into the material outside of class then dont bother applying. NCSU has a steep learning curve, espesially in its STEM courses. The professors are willing to help you the best they can but they will not seek you out; there are too many students to do that. Besides design and textiles, if you are more liberal arts (english, art, etc) minded I would recomend a different school as we are primarily a STEM school

You shouldn't attend this school if you don't like big colleges. You always see someone new walking to class everyday, and class sizes are usually pretty big. If you don't like being challenged in your studies and learning new things everyday, you shouldn't attend this school. Also, if you don't like football, NCSU isn't the school for you.

This school is for anyone who likes a city atomosphere.

Shouldn't attend is a wrong way of saying it any person can attend NC State as long as the person is willing to take school serious, go to class, and have the grades.

Students with majors in the college of sciences and college ofengineering will be challenged ever day in and out of class. All students planning to join NC State with a engineering or science degree should arrive ready to work hard, and even more importantly, work with other students on a regular basis. Any student that is not ready to work with other students should consider a different path for their education.

In my opinon, anyone could make NC State their own, as long as they were willing to make an effort to find their niche. NC State is a very diverse campus, and chances are that anyone could find the one group of people that they would fit in with the best. Personally, I was terrified going to college, I thought I wouldn't find any friends. However, I managed to find a group of people that have made my experience fantastic.

The kind of person who shouldn't attend this school is someone who does not want to work hard. The academics are rigorous at NCSU and it will take hard work and determination to graduate. But, much will be learned and a job after graduation is often guarunteed.

Anyone very interested in engineering and partying.

Fans of the University of North Carolina! NC State students are very passionate about their school spirit. With the University of North Carolina and Duke University so close by, there is a lot of rivalry in both academics and sports. It makes attending schools in the area a lot of fun because everyone has so much pride in their education and their athletics. The fraternity and sorority housing at NC State is kind of poor but it is getting redone in the next couple of years.

An individual that does not like large campuses or is not willing to work hard.

Honestly, I feel that anyone, no matter what race, sex, major choice, etc., would fit in perfectly at NCState. When applying for this school, one of the main points that they advocated was diversity which is what made me attracted to the school instantly. Not only is NCState diverse, it also offers a very wide range of major choices including 12 colleges within the university tending to specific majors. They help guide those who are undecided about majors and keep those who are decided on track. Its a fantastic school and I think anyone could attend and be happy.

An example of someone who should not attend NC State is someone who does not plan on going into a field requiring science or advanced mathematics (since NC State is a research university) , or someone who has trouble coping with large crowds of people. NC State is a large university numbering over 35,000 people, who have many differing world views and a variety of people, so this school may not be a good choice for someone that does not do well when faced with adversity or differing opinions than their own.

If you want small class sizes and personal attention. Do NOT GO HERE. This school is huge and therefore everything is automatic responses and your treated not like an individual.

Someone that wants to be pampered and made feel special. NCSU is big, and you don't get as much individual attention except in your major.

Someone who easily feels left out and/or does not actively try to participate in making friends or other activities may not want to attend NC State. The school is large, and although there are many programs, activities and friendly people, the general atmosphere is not conducive for daily interaction with others unless a genuine effort is made. In other words, it is essential to be open-minded and socially forward at NC State. Shy people and those who tend to feel timid in social situations will have a hard time adjusting to the agressive social life here.

Someone who does not like a big school should not attend this school. Here at NC State, you see new people everyday due to the 30,000+ student population. Classes are often held in auditorium-type rooms with around 200-300 people. The campus is large and there is quite a bit of walking to get used to.

If you don't like brick, don't come to State. This campus is built of brick. And if you need a lot of open green space, there is very little around campus. If you want small intimate classes, the majority of the time State is not for you. For example, it is not uncommon to have a 400 person economics class or a 250 person introductory chemistry class. If your focused on sports, our sports program is okay but definitely not top ranked except for gymnastics and soccer.
