Hey, how are you ? I am an international student applying for spring semester.In addition, I would like to major in Mechanical Engineering. I just wanted to ask which would you suggest more ; NCSU OR PENN STATE. Academic wise and socially. How is the people there ? Is the education level hard ? Is the social life fun? which is the best place to live in campus, I don't care about the price. And most importantly are there extracurricular activities involving the mechanical engineering major?as i got accepted in both universities. I would highly appreciate if you would reply to my response as soon as possible. your comment would impact a huge contribution to which university I am going to attend. Thank you very much! Thank you for your time. |
Major: Mechanical Engineering (This Major's Salary over time)
I love this school. I grew up dying to go to PennState, then when I applied for colleges, applied to here, Virginia Tech, RIT, Perdue, and PennState. I got in to all, and visited them… and found I loved NCSU instantly. The campus is pretty, there is a lot available, you can actually approach teachers and faculty. Even the maintenance people are nice, they always smile and nod. This school has been worth it, even while paying for out of state. For engineering the best thing to do, is go straight to the co-op program. There's a building right on campus that specializes in it, and helps you get one. Its not very well advertised, but they do a very good job, and are with you all the way. The career fairs here are one of the largest in the nation, so you have a lot of opportunities, and the school has a very good reputation with a lot of companies, so that will help.However, as others have mentioned, it is more of an engineering school. There are some other specialties, but technology and engineering is NCSU's forte, so if you're considering a humanity it might not be the best (unless you're undecided, there are plenty of classes for you to test different classes in until you decide.)
