North Carolina State University Reviews

"Great program for future leaders. A little costly."

"Pros are all classes work and teachers support. Cons are regarding with the software used; I'm looking to used more structural software."

"I think it's a solid program with great resources to help produce valuable candidates to the work force. That said, courses and faculty should be expanded. The specific program is interdisciplinary and doesn't facilitate a marine, earth, and atmospheric sciences degree as much as it does one of the three. Therefore, there either needs to be a push for more crossover or for three solid disciplines within the program. As it is now, I would say the program is well above average and these comments are meant to take it to the next level."

"The school is a great value, as it has the lowest tuition of any vet school in the country and is ranked in the top 5."

"This program is a newer one with younger faculty. The advantage is that they are very invested in their graduate students to make them successful. The downside is that they are little less known in their fields, but are on the cutting edge of interesting new work."

"I believe I took a completely different step from my undergraduate to graduate career. NC State has helped round me out as an artist, really focusing on Design oriented techniques (much different from a Fine Arts background from Savannah College of Art and Design, but not too far off from the animation and multi-media education I received there). The biggest set back in the program I believe is organization of the curriculum and funding for the Design department. Overall, I think it's an excellent program that would benefit with a boost financially."

"My graduate program is very close to actual industry related activities and involves practical applications on theories learnt in class in the real world. On the down side , less financial aid is available to international students making it difficult to manage the college expenses."

"One of the highest rated veterinary programs in the world! The curriculum is being changed though so we are going through the kinks of a transition process. But all the professors are AWESOME!"

"An excellent value, amazing surrounding area, top 3rd vet school in the country, beautiful campus, outstanding curriculum."

"Incredible education for the price! I'm saving thousands of dollars by going here rather than my in-state vet school. One year of out of state tuition and every other year as an in state student saves me about $80,000 total (not including interest) rather than going to my home state school!! I love this school, the location halfway between the beach and mountains, the incredible weather and the people here. I will probably settle in NC."

"The vet school is rank 3rd in the nation with state of art facilities. We participate in surgeries during our second years, where most vet schools start surgery during their third year. The facility is really invested in our success! Scholarships are limited but the percentage available to students increases from first year to second year."

"Challenging & stimulating without being overwhelming."

"Tell us about your college experience.I enjoyed it. It was in my home state and many people of my background attended. I had plenty of friends who provided a support system to me.Would you get the same degree if you could start over?Yes. Psychology is a wonderful field. I enjoyed studying it and for the insights it gives me.What advice can you offer other students?Study hard, save your money, think ahead."

"Tell us about your college experience.It was the largest school in North Carolina and the experience was overwhelming. There were so many different opportunities, clubs, and classes and I loved the immense variety.Would you get the same degree if you could start over?I would switch to a computer science degree. I feel like it may have been a better fit, although I really did enjoy accounting. In retrospect computer science would have been more informative and more helpful.What advice can you offer other students?Take careful time in choosing a college and major. By choosing my college I was offered a substantial financial aid package that my school had a program for. Also, I was able to study abroad through my school and if I had went to 90% + other schools I probably would not have the financial opportunities to travel abroad."

"So far no cons and the university has been very helpful in my transition from being an undergrad to a grad student at NCSU."

"This graduate program, though newer, is one of the best programs that I looked into. It takes an entire masters program and pushed you to graduate in 10 months. This program is up to date and is part of one of the largest growing field - analytics. People with the skills that this program provides are hard to find, so the NCSU Analytics department now accepts 80 students for the year and creates 80 excellent analysts. The Harvard Business Review recently identified the Institute as one of only a few sources of talent with proven strengths in data science alongside Stanford, MIT, Berkeley, Harvard, and Carnegie Mellon. This is the nations first institute to offer an analytics degree."

"Individual instructors are supportive and accessible but their individual positions on the use and application of technology mires the whole program from fully implementing the available technologies."

"This program is great. The professors really care about the graduate students. The biggest downfall is that the first year of the program is not covered financially at all."

"I love NCSU and I feel like I will be very well prepared to enter the work force upon graduation."

"Courses are rigorous and challenging. Professors extremely accessible."
