Review of North Carolina Central University

from Pineville, NC

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Being a student here, it is required to take a Dimensions of Learning class that teaches you about the history of NCCU and you begin working on a portfolio of your resume and practice cover letters. The first year you get most of your core classes out of the way, and it gets easier as you go along. The teachers are doing a great job and are very helpful outside of class.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Like most people say College is what you make it. I personally don't like to go to parties, but if that's your scene then there are parties almost every week and weekend. If you're like me, there's still other things to do on campus like play cards, pool, and just hanging out in the multipurpose rooms, along with a lot of programs about different topics.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

I think the in-state tuition is very affordable and there are a lot of resources for any issues you may have or incur so it's all worth it.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Don't procrastinate and there is no excuse to not have your homework in on time because you are given a syllabus of all of your assignments on the first day. The only thing is unlike in high school, teachers don't remind you when assignments are due so you have to be very responsible and on top of your work.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Students who have great school spirit and are very involved in extra curricular activities.
