Student review [#49415] for Computer Science and Engineering
at North Carolina State University - NCSU

Ncsu has one of the most welcoming atmospheres I’ve encountered, and being located in the heart of a big city makes it even better, you get to go out and take long breathes of fresh air after what could easily be a challenging mental exercise aka lectures. You’ll also meet some of the nicest people out there, eat good food, see great athletic prowess and many other things, there’s lots to do in terms of recreation, regardless of basketball being everyone’s favorite there’s lots of other activities besides lectures that you can engage in.
The campus itself is huge, but still walkable, with so many things going on, the distance usually isn’t noticed unless you’re measuring it with an app or something. Student diversity? I’ve had the opportunity to see and associate with a wide variety of people from different backgrounds from the country and from the world.
Lectures are great, you are fairly challenged in many aspects of your field of study. I’d say it’s well mixed with diversity, education, and recreation. All things one would hope for when applying.
