Come Explore Wolfpack Country

The best way to decide if a college is the right fit for you is to visit. This allows you to see the campus in action and get a feel for what it would be like to be a student! I always advise students to come during the week when school is in session. A campus with 35,000 students feels VERY different when students are walking around, going to class, sitting on the lawn, etc. compared to when students are on break. Take the time to spend a day on campus and go inside the academic buildings, talk to current students, try out one of the three dining halls or grab some coffee at one of the 6 Port City Java Cafes across campus. Don’t be afraid to pretend you are a student for the day and hopefully you will realize why NC State is the place for you!
