Student review [#10245] for Chemical Engineering
at North Carolina State University - NCSU

North Carolina State University is a large university, with alot of opportunities as well. Most academic programs imaginable are there, with everything from Crop Science to Nuclear Engineering to Political Science to Textile Management, you’re interests could be satisfied there. Additionally, the University has an exploratory studies program that sets up course in your first year to help you determine which path you wish to take. It is top tier and well known for it’s STEM programs with a newly build campus to support these ventures.

Student life is well balanced. If you care for sports, we have great atmospheres at the games, with a football team that never fails to drop the ball halfway into the season. The night life is balanced with clubs, bars, and house parties; but there is also good respect for focusing on studies when they’re most important. Dining facilities are well distributed across campus and have their glory day as well as a few stinkers, but there is always something to eat for everyone, dietary needs are catered for.

Supporting facilities help round out your university experience all with good individuals leading them: a leadership department, cultural experiences, study abroad and career services. The study abroad program is an unsung hero, helping you to find funding and the best fit programs.

I study in the Paper Science department (specialized chemical engineering) which supports me with professors that know me by name and care about my development. True skill learning and career readiness is the focus, with our classes having real world hands on components. Coordination with companies to provide internships is well managed; I worked in industry after my freshman year. The department is a family that will always help you out.
