Review of North Carolina Central University

from Camden, NC

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The classes at Central are great. The teachers really care about their topic and they want all their students to succeed. The difficulty level and workload of the classes are exactly what one would expect from college. If you want to be challenged academically, Central is a good fit for you.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms on campus have everything you would need inside. Each room comes with a micro-fridge, wardrobe, dresser, and desk (of course). There's quite a bit of living space so you won't feel cramped or trapped in the room, and you and your roommate (if you have one) can move around comfortably. Bathrooms are well kept and cleaned every morning. And, there are multipurpose rooms in most dorm buildings and game rooms in a few others.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the food in the cafeteria and I avoid eating there when I can. But that's not to say all the food is bad, there are choices that are good. The salad bar has fresh fruits and deli sandwiches every day and that's all I really eat when in the cafeteria. Also, there's Chicken Wednesday and Fish Friday for fans of chicken and fish.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

It's difficult not to feel safe on campus. Campus security has a noticeable presence and they strive to make sure students feel safe at all times. There are emergency posts everywhere on campus and security regularly patrols all around. If anything is ever recognized as a potential threat on or near campus, security immediately sends out an alert to notify students and sends another when the situation is resolved.
