If you want to attend NCSU you must be driven. You must be willing to put in the hours to practice that material to make sure you understand. Go to office hours and get to know your professor they will love you for it and your grades will show your effort. It is a large school so you must not let yourself fall thorugh the cracks because noone will notice te an independent student, take the initative to form study groups, and be willing to work hard.

If considering attending this school, a person needs to be very responsible and keep up with their schoolwork. This school offers a lot of autonomy and various places to study, and it is up to the student to follow through and study the material.

Alexis

The type of person that would thrive at NC State is the person that works hard and prides themselves on their studies. In college, it's easy to go under with all the things happening around you. This is especially prevalent on such a big campus as NC State's because there is constantly events happening. You have to be able to balance out your work, play, and have the strength to say "no" sometimes.

Anthony

Students who attend this school should be bright, free-thinking minds who not only have the desire for nearly unparalleled knowledge, but also posess the drive to constantly work hard and earn their degree and refuse to have it handed to them. A student who values professors who treat them as equal adults with responsibilities and respect will be at home here, as long as they they too respect their professor. this school truly educates the elite minds of society, and I am proud to call myself a student.

Everyone here is truly free and open to being themselves and not trying to be someone their not. That is one of the main reasons I decided to attend here.

This school is great if you want to meet a bunch of people, if you enjoy being exposed to the arts (the theater productions are wonderful), and if you are willing to work hard and stay focused. If you are looking to never be bored, this is the place for you. There is always something new and fun going on, whether it's a concert, a free movie, the farmer's market, or the state fair.

Someone should attend NCSU if they are open to very diverse activities and new opportunities. NCSU has so much going on all the time, and the campus is huge.

A person also has to be outgoing there in order to meet new people and to jump right in to new opportunities.

Erika

North Carolina State University is a top engineering school. Personally, I chose to attend for a couple of different reasons. First, they offer a great Science Education Program. Second, many of the classes in the Science Education Program are offered online or in the evening which allows me to pursue my Master's part-time. The science classes I have taken are second to none. The professors are engaged and dedicated to student learning and mastery of the content. As far as fellow students, every person I have encountered in classes or just walking across campus has been friendly.

Vicky

North Carolina State University is a school for the strong willed, determined, and self-driven student.. The students interested in attending this school should understand that it’s a very big school with lots of students and up to 300 people in a class. This means you have to know what you want to get out of your education and stay on top of your studies. In order to succeed you have to be able to drive yourself to greatness, because the instructors more than likely don’t even know your name.

Michelle

The perfect NC State student is creative, open-minded, enthusiastic, and possesses lots of school spirit. People who learn best in interactive group settings will do well at this school, as there is a strong focus on collaboration. The student community puts a strong emphasis on maintaining a healthy school to social life balance. Cut-throat and competitive students will not fit in well at this school because the rest of the student body knows that a balanced state of mind comes from integrating schoolwork with strong friendships and participation in extra-curricular activities.

Jessica

Someone who is outgoing and driven, and who likes to meet a wide variety of people. Someone who likes the outdoors would enjoy NC State, as would someone heavily interested in science or engineering.

Any one and everyone. This school is a rather large school and has many different majors for each and every student to choose from. NC State is one of the top rated engineering schools and has one of the top rated vet schools too.

Connie

NCSU is a highly selcetive school academically and a very popular social place demographically so only the the organized and well balanced survive. Isay that because it is easy to lose focus of your priorities with so many other awesome things going on all around you. State is a school for the bright and friendly.The courageous and curious. The one who isnt afraid to take things a little farther or challenge the norm. There are 30,000+ students here and if you what to stand out just being dedicated is a great way to start.

Erin

NC State is open to a variety of different people but a person who is sociable, not intimidated by a large campus, willing to focus on their academic career, and open-minded but not too liberal because unfortunately the student population leans toward the conservative side will do best here. Greek life is active but does not always define a person and this is not a huge party school, although there is definitely a good social atmosphere. Campus life could be a lot better and engaging, but there are usually things to do!

Ashley

This college best fits people who are looking at a degree in the sciences or engineering. NC State is best known for its engineering school but the sciences follow right behind. A person would need to be dedicated to their academic carereer, which includes their co-curricular activities. NC State has so many opportunities to get involved that it would be hard not to be involved. This school is a great option for people considering going to graduate school as well.

Lauren

Someone who wants the best opportunities for future employment set right infront of them and have a good time while learning. NC State has some incredible systems set up to get kids access to resources that help get them job ready. The career center is very active on campus, and the clubs are all very easy to join and get involved in. It is easy to stay active at State, weather someone's definition of active is through religion, sports, videogames, academics, or just hanging out with friends.

Martha

Someone who wants the advantages of going to a big ACC school but who also wants to work really hard while having lots of fun.

James

I feel to succeed at NC State it takes a hard working, determined student. To be successful one needs to be able to keep focus and be able to manage ones time. An NC State student must be dedicated as well as use the knowledge they have to achieve the best education possible. As a student, I have to remember that I will get out of my education what I put in it. To succeed at State one must be goal oriented and not let any obstacles get in the way.
