A Day in the Life of an NC State Student
No two NC State journeys look exactly the same. But take it from our students — here, you'll find what you need to reach your goals. And you'll always have a Wolfpack behind you.
People who choose NC State are always reaching — for new opportunities, that spot in the Sweet 16, an enormous scoop of Howling Cow ice cream or solutions to the world’s greatest challenges.
When you choose NC State, you’re choosing to join the Wolfpack. Our community knows how to have fun while encouraging one another to reach new heights. And we know we’re stronger together.
If you’re thinking of joining our Pack in the fall, you might be wondering what it’s like to spend a day at NC State. The best people to show you are our students.
