CAMPUS SUMMARY
Before we give you all the details about NC State, we'd like to talk about the University as a whole. Since its founding in 1887, NC State has established itself as a dynamic academic community. If you choose to enter NC State this year, you will be part of an academic community of twenty-nine thousand students from fifty states and one hundred different countries who have chosen to study at one of the nation's outstanding universities. Our beautiful campus hosts a great diversity of people, programs, and excitement. But don't let our size worry you. We're sure you will feel right at home and welcome here. Students select NC State as their home for four years for a variety of reasons: its strong academics, excellent reputation, low cost, career advantages, prospering Raleigh/Triangle location, and social opportunities.
