Been a wonderful experience with great academics and faculty.

Tips: Living in NCSU has been an adventure in a lot of senses. You will be expected to bring out the best of your potential in the classrooms while being an active part of the community as well so all in all, you will be pretty busy. The city has a lot of interesting spots to explore but avoid eating out if you are planning on saving some cash. Overall, I am very satisfied with the course, college and the country.

Learning and growing every day at North Carolina State University.

Tips: I have transitioned well since coming to North Carolina State University. Before arriving, I had visited the States a few times and was somewhat familiar with the customs. That probably helped me avoid any major culture shock. My advice to new students is to take advantage of your leaves and explore the diversity of the city and other parts of the country if possible. There are so many things to see and do, and you will be amazed at what you discover.

It's a good college to study

Tips: Know about the current job market before joining the college. The courses are very good, but internships and full time are hard to find currently. Work before you opt for MS, as work experience matters more in the job hunt and understanding the courses.

North Carolina State University has been an ideal place for me to learn and grown significantly.

Tips: What I have realised so far is that while the coursework here is challenging, it can also be rewarding. I've learnt to manage my academic commitments with extra curriculums and truly enjoy the experience offered here at NCSU. Students should use a planner or a digital calendar to help them out with their deadlines and planning. The exam patterns here are very different from those in India so it might take some time to adjust our faculty are helpful and you can reach out to them without any hesit...

Not worth it for the amount of fee we pay

Tips: Unlike India, here the college name or brand doesn't impact much. So find a good university at a reasonable fee. Also, check the course work before coming to college or connect with seniors and ask them for syllabus and study material or sources, it makes things easy after coming here.

The university provides with lots of activities and events.

Tips: I was very apprehensive and I joined campus after the orientation. Despite this, I would say that NCSU has become a second home. You will be encouraged to balance your academics with extracurriculars and there is something for everyone. Classes are competitive so take advantage of peer tutoring and office hours. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to the faculty. They are very supportive and will help you whenever they can.

North Carolina State University provides a great learning environment.

Tips: I have become much more adaptable and understanding after spending some time in this environment. I would say that people here are more independent and more private in terms of lifestyles and boundaries so you ought to keep that in mind. Aside from this, the research programs have given me opportunities to work on projects I am passionate about and with faculty who are experts in their fields.

Contagious environment and energy.

Tips: NCSU has a very happening and fulfilling campus life. Aside from academics, there is a lot of emphasis on activities outside of the classrooms as well including sports, fests and cultural events. I would recommend you to attend these events from the very beginning so it is easier to make friends and become a part of the community here.

Tips: I have been undergoing constant transformation in my personality ever since I joined NCSU and most of it has benefitted me overall. I did not get any scholarships but I feel the quality of education has made it worthwhile.

It has been a wonderful experience.

Tips: I have seen a lot of personal transformation and developments within my personality after coming here. There was a phase initially where I found things to be quite familiar but NCSU has a truly helpful student community and services to make things simpler. Explore some of the local cuisines near campus as they are comparatively more reasonable than other food options and take classes according to your preferred timings and schedule.
