"I love our graduate department; however, from a financial stand point it is a drain. I think our program is wonderful. They come from a social justice perspective and every teacher has worked in the field. In addition to this we have great networking, no other school in the state offers a list of internships to choose from. Many schools throw you to the wind and ask you to find your own. Their network is large and almost any area you can think of they know someone who can help. I love it."

"Great for textile industry or academia. Good location with many apartments within walking distance. Coming from a larger city with much more active community made transition harder. Not bike-friendly at all, good grocery stores nearby but have to drive to."

  • Degree: Chemistry
"The Chemistry Department graduate school at NCSU is extremely challenging with a very heavy workload, especially for 1st and 2nd year students. A student is tested on his/her ability to think and learn quickly, and to prove their understanding of the material that ranges across all of chemistry and even biology and medicine. Those who are not able to perform to this standard are usually unable to achieve the level of Ph.D. These challenges generate extremely competent professionals who are all positioned to make great advances in the field of chemistry."

"I absolutely love NC State! NC state makes you feel like a part of a big diverse family! They also allow you to make your college experience your own with the multiple varieties of clubs available and the option to make your own if it's not already a running organization! There are a vast majority of majors and minors to entertain any mind!"
