North Carolina State University Reviews

"great professors and course offerings. Many research options. Good experience overall."

"I really feel like the faculty wants me to succeed. It makes dealing with the intense workload much easier."

"Great school but stipends are on the low end and have not increased in years (even though cost of living has pretty much doubled)."

"Pros: there are multiple disciplines in our department so there is the potential to work with other scientists in different fields and collaborate. The location of the university within the research triangle is good. Cons: the dept. is spread out in such a way that feeling like a cohesive dept. isn't always easy, but we try. ."

"Wonderful facilities and research opportunities. Centennial campus is a partnership between industry and academia which exposes students to job opportunities without leaving campus. Additionally, RTP is only a few miles away and is a major job market."

"The program has a nice blend of practical skills and theory, something that is beneficial to training public historians. I have also found that for the most part, the professors are very approachable and will do their best to assist you."

"Basicaly, the program have a clear and much direct guidance toward graduation. I hope we have provide more career help."

"Overall, I have loved my time at NC State. The environment is great and I am being challenged everyday."

"One of the finest engineering schools in the country particularly in IE, ME, Nuclear and Civil."

"The faculty are top-notch and are very willing to open up their doors and talk with whomever asks. The graduate students are also a fairly tight-knit group. The location is very good (minutes from downtown Raleigh) and I really like the degree to which the university collaborates with industry leaders to support and promote research."

"Pros: faculty, cohort, location Con's: low-ish stipend"

"The expectations are reasonable. The faculty are great."

"NCSU Chemical Engineering is a great program and you can see all the hard work and effort that goes into making it that way!"

"It is a small program compared with those traditional majors like Chemical engineering, Chemistry, etc. But the students are competitive in the job market. I really like what I'm doing now!"

"Pros: large department with many approachable professors Cons: low gender diversity"

"Overall the program is okay. It's more focused toward finding a job than doing research. Hence, the department rank is low."

"I would said that the Agricultural Eng. program at NC State is diverse and oriented to "real world applications"."

"Many faculty are very helpful. The technology resources that is available is amazing."

"Great study/work environment. Faculty is very resourceful, flexible, open to new ideas, and knowledgeable in their respective fields. Students pursuing PhD in Chemical engineering get tuition, fees, and stipend paid by department. Low cost-of living. Access to multiple characterization facilities."

"Pros Good balance of courses, research and overall doctoral program evaluation. Supportive Graduate Program, director and everyone else to help, encourage graduate students to perform well, overcoming problems. Cons Lack of sufficient grad students in a specific area which can create a more stimulating research ecosystem. Lack of more diverse courses and instructors offering courses, which can excite students to dive into the subject."
