I love the environment! Students and alumni are extremely prideful and it shows everywhere! The school itself is also very nice. The campus is huge and spacious with nice buildings. This school is perfect for me, and felt like home right off the bat!

Leelia - 08/25/2022

As a freshman, there is a lot I have yet to learn about my university. I love it without a doubt and once my time is up and I graduated I look forward to becoming an Alum because they all have great school spirit (#AGGIEPRIDE) that they take out into the world and it lives within them forever. Academic and social life are reasonable and live up to what I expected it to be.

Another thing I would advise myself to do would be to have saved more money to bring with me to school because its difficult living on my own without my family and having to provide for myself with limitied income.

  14. What are the academics like at your school?

    All of my professors know my name. My favorite class is probably Biology just because my instructor made things incredibly easy to understand. My least favorite class is defenitly physics because it takes a ton of work in order to grab the key concepts of the class. Therefore it takes a ton of study time to get better at. Students at my school especially in the engineering department are always studying and having intellectual conversations outside of class and competiting in there school work. I'm an Architectural Engineering major and my department and advisors are very helpful and I spend a lot of time talking with them whenever I need something. I feel that the schools current academic requiremts are a fine standard. Education at North Carolina A&T is geared towards getting a job and making you efficent in the workplace.

  15. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    I love my school because it helps promote acdemic success and it prepares us thoroughly for the working world. It is just the right size not to small or too large. I spend most of my time in the student union eating or meeting with fellow classmates. The schools adminstration could be more effecient by getting us information in a timely manner. Students complain about this and tuition often but despite the complaints all students have tons of AGGIE PRIDE. The atmosphere at the school is unforgettable and something that'll be with me my entire life.
