Individual & Family Visits
Before you make a decision about attending NC State, you'll want to visit our campus. After all, it's the best way to picture yourself as a student here. Information sessions are designed to help you learn about the application process, admissions requirements and campus life. These sessions are held in the E. Caroll Joyner Visitor Center. Bus tours of Centennial Campus showcase NC State's research park. The bus tours fit between the information sessions and walking tours of main campus providing a shuttle from the Joyner Visitor Center through Centennial Campus and ending at Talley for the walking tour. Hour-long campus walking tours are offered following each freshman information session and begin at the Talley Student Center. All visits require registration through your WolfPAW account.
Please refer to our Parking & Directions page or Accommodations page for more details.
