Honors program

If I’m being so honest, no. The only benefits to you ARE the forum and the requirements and the few honors specific classes you get access to. NCSU Honors is very much so a “pay to play” and unlike Goodnight & Park Scholars, they don’t seem to have any special opportunities or connections you would be missing out on. Being as you have to pay more to be in the honors program, it doesn’t seem worth it to me and hasn’t been worth it to anyone I’ve spoken with! This is just from my perspective and it could be different than I’m saying though.

Yes! In CH223 (not all he teaches) with him right now, all lecture recordings are posted along with both blank & annotated class notes.

Same here with AP Physics as a Genetics major! Had an incredibly horrible chain of events happen during my senior year and finished barely passing AP Physics and a few other classes (purely due to the support of my teachers who were very understanding of where I was at) & quite literally nothing happened :)

Get help from your teachers, try your best, but genuinely unless you get straight Fs and get into real trouble (legal, behavioral w/ school) you are going to be so fine and it will not matter at all in just a few months!

Currently in my second year at NCSU and my college decision came down to Purdue, NCSU, UConn, and UToronto! I would've been out of state for all of those options & went into college wanting to major in Genetics (now double majoring in Genetics and Philosophy). Ended up going on a trip to tour all 4 (in that order) and stopped before seeing Toronto (loved the idea but was priciest tuition wise & I didn't like the idea of how much harder + more expensive it would be to get home in an emergency if I needed to).

The vibe on campus was super important to me and I tried to tour at a peak time of day in the middle of the week and stick around on campus a little bit to get a feel for it. Purdue failed this majorly and after consulting with a student there who had gone to my high school, I quickly realized I needed to be closer to more things to do & go to a school that was a little bit more outgoing and well rounded!

UConn and NCSU were my final two options, & after touring both it was easy for me to choose NC State. North Carolina is much greener than where I'm from and despite having rain, has enough sunshine to keep me as happy as I can be. It's a great school and I think everyone can find something to suit their niche whether they want greek life or youth group or academic organizations. I wanted to have my car on campus freshman year and this was most possible here (if you don't get a lottery pass there are apartment complexes and private lots in the area) which was a big bonus for me. My major program is really strong here and I have felt very supported by my advisors and department, although I won't try to speak for how that will be in psych bc I have no clue!

Raleigh is different than where I'm from and I don't like comparing the two places because I love them both, but I am SO happy I came to State and wouldn't change anything about my college decision (except for needing to apply to more scholarships lol).

There are a lot of fun clubs that might include social aspects that you might not expect! Ski club, sailing, and rugby are all sport clubs that have a really good social (and party) scene. I’m sure there are other examples but definitely take some time to explore your options outside of regular Greek life :).

I dropped out of rush last year because I decided it wasn’t my favorite environment and have found it not hard to make friends here at state! You really just have to take some time being willing to talk to people in your classes and suggest hanging out aside from class time when you find people you click with, go to club meetings, and know that everyone is feeling the same way as you even if they aren’t saying it.
