what's happening on campus?
At NC State University, we are fully aware that life exists outside the classroom. And we want you to find it.
No doubt you’re here to focus on academics, but after class, homework and studying is done, you’ll want to make some time for fun. Finding the right balance between work and play will likely take some adjusting. But at the end of your freshman year, you’ll have mastered the perfect mix of social and extracurricular activities that’s right for you.
From choosing a residence hall to joining a club, getting involved in student government, to playing (or watching) varsity or intramural sports, conducting research, or just hanging out with friends, you’ll find there’s more to college life than just attending class.
