School is great. I transferred in my Sophomore year and have been very pleased with the quality of professors and the level of education. Raleigh is a great place to go to school. Raleigh offers a good balance of an urban environment and the beauty of nature a little bit beyond.

Words of advice: Get in close with at least a few people at the school. The size of the student body is overwhelming and the school tends to push you through as a number but in the end, your education is what you make of it.Secondly, look out for the HOUSING DEPARTMENT. Everyone there is nice but they will try to throw random fees at you. Be careful and back up anything they say on the phone with the website because there is a good chance that they will conflict.
Education Quality: A, Individual Value: D

NC State was a phenomenal college experience. I grew as a person in terms of maturity and intellectual development. The academics in engineering were excellent, and I made a lot of friends. NC State is a well-grounded and unpretentious school. Nobody cares where you came from or how much money your family has - they're more concerned with who you are as a person. The people on campus are very friendly. You can talk to anyone. Being a large school, the student body isn't in to cliques or social groups. Instead, the student body is unified and a communal environment exists. NC State is like a large family that is always there for you as a student and an alumnus. I was highly challenged as an engineering student. The classes were competitive and interesting. Professors were approachable and did a good job bringing the technical curriculum to life. The social life at State was strong. Something is always going on in Raleigh, and you aren't far from the beaches or the mountains. The only negative I could say about State is that it is not a place for liberal arts. If you want to major in engineering, the sciences, architecture or agriculture, NC State is a great college experience. If you want to major in liberal arts, go to another school.

NC State prepared me for a successful professional career. Since graduating I have returned to another school to get my MBA. In NC, NC State has a strong reputation. Outside NC, people only know it as the state school in NC. If you need some self validation by the university you attend, go else where. If you are looking for a excellent education for a good price, go to NC State.
Scholastic Success: A+, Faculty Accessibility: B
