The best thing about my school is the vast amount of opportunities available. By joining health pack, I was exposed to so many health related volunteer and research opportunities.
Madeleine
The best thing about my school would have to be the Honors Program. It provides great opportunities for research, as well as access to special events, and the people there have become some of my best friends. There's always something exciting happening, whether it's the accordian player, sword-fight practice, a paint war, volleyball, tie-dyeing, philosophical debates, or even building sandcastles, I am never bored when I'm there.
Antoin
The atmosphere, because you can be yourself and find others like yourself, or completely differnet.
Kristin
The best thing about North Carolina State University is the love for the school. Every student shows Wolfpack pride for every sporting event. No matter if it deals with athletic events, students love to be a part of the Wolfpack. There is a T-Shirt that a student can buy that says "Peace. Love. Wolfpack." One will forever and always be a part of the Wolfpack family.

I would say the construction. There is always construction going on. However, State's campus is quite beautiful I would say. We have the wolves statue, the free-expression tunnel, and people sleeping in hammocks on beautiful days. There are so many things to offer on campus.
Sakinah
Our campus is huge. There are gazebos, huge brickyard, a lot of bricks and different shaped buildings. It is definitely an engineering building school.
Casey
Two things:
Number one, the brick. There is a TON of brick on campus! Almost all the buildings are completely brick, the sidewalks and pathways are brick, and of course, the brickyard in front of the library. It adds a special character the campus. I find it very pretty, it also makes the green of the grass and the trees really pop when everything is in full bloom.
Number two, class sizes. In my major of education and mathematics, I am in the College of Education (CED) and the College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (PAMS). CED is highly selective in who they select to be a part of their college. This allows me to be a part of small classes (15-40 students) at such a large university. Only three of may classes have been above 50 students.

Jessica
The brickyard. Lots of activities are promoted there and it also a good place to hang out and wait for class or snag some free food.
Allison
The pride that is held with each NC State student follows you for a lifetime. Once a wolfpack, always a wolfpack is completely true. There is a camaraderie between NC State graduates that is unparalleled. NC State is located in an area that is conducive to new graduates. There are jobs to be found within the Triangle that is greatly beneficial for new graduates.
Denae
The best thing about North Carolina State is the warm helpful community that we have here. There are resources all around for the students here. Everyone on campus wants you to succeed and is truly here for your sucess, all you have to do is ask for help.
Paige
The Location is the best thing about my school, it is near the country which allows opprotunities for me to practice in my major, animal science, but it is also near the city of Raleigh which helps students get involved in the local community.
Christopher
How conservative it is compared to other local schools.
Alexandria
NCSU is a place focused on getting you where you need to go. There is a constant urgency to be bigger and better to reach success. The atmosphere is one of success and determination. I know what I want to do with my life and feel that my school is behind me to help me reach my goals.
Alexandria
NCSU has a beautiful campus that is friendly to new students. The biology program is one of the best in the country with teachers who are truely dedicated to their subject matter. I graduated high school early to attend NCSU and that was the best choice I ever made because I love the experience.
Hai
The facilities and how helpful the professors are IF you are willing to put in the work to get to know them.
Brittney
The best thing about school is the independence. College is much different from high school in the sense that students are now given the responsibility of taking care of themselves and taking as much away from the experience as you can. It's a period of time where one is independent without the full responsibility of life such as bills and taxes.
Karey
The best thing about my school is the overall environment including both University staff and students. The North Carolina State University environment offers friendly staff who are always willing to help you in any way that they can. The outreach of the people at NC State makes the educational experience exceptional over other Universities because it provides a positive outlook on students' education. There is no excuss for failure at NC State with the number of people waiting to help you with any problem that may arise.
