NC State gave me the opportunity to go to a big school through scholarships and opportunities they give. I feel at home here and I genuinely think that this is where I belong and I have the most amazing support system. I am a student at the College of Ed and I am proud to say we are the best college in the state and one of the top 30 in the country

Beware of sending your kid to hear. If you want to go here, ensure you already have a good support network because your mental health will be challenged. Parents, be watchful for your student because the school will not be.
