I don't think it's possible to accurately stereotype NCSU. It's a large university with plenty of diversity. There are a few more fundamentalist Christians here than at most public universities, but they don't really define the social atmosphere.

the first two yes, last one not entirely

Not completely, we do have a great agriculture school and there are some rednecks, but there is a lot more of just regular normal college kids that you would find at every school.

Although NC State does have phenomenal agricultural and engineering programs, our College of Management, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, and College of Education are also exceptional. Since these programs are smaller, students receive more personal attention and opportunities to get know their professors. They are also often taught by professionals from the "real world" who are teaching part time or have retired from their profession and offer tremendous insight for students on career paths.

This stereotype is inaccurate. While NCSU does have a strong agricultural department, it is not the only prominent academic program. NCSU also has a high ranked engineering program, textiles, and diverse liberal arts programs to choose from.
