Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

I just graduated from A&T in May, and I feel more than ready to begin my Master's of Accounting program at The Ohio State University. Not only am I prepared, but I also managed to get a scholarship for my Master's and for the CPA Exam (which I am already studying for). The classes are challenging, but it is fun to take some of the electives (not all majors have room for electives, so be careful about that).
Winnie from Greensboro, NC
NC A&T SU is a HBCU that has allowed me to understand more about culture and history. I have learned more about myself as well as my field of study. I am an engineering major here and the curriculum is tough! I have no doubt in my mind that all the hard work is worth it. I am only a Sophmore and have been taking engineering classes since my Freshman year here. NC A&T SU believes in starting you with your core curriculum courses soon. This way you understand what your major is truley about and can adjust if need be. My mind has been opened and enhanced since my enrollment at NC A&T SU.
Rayelle from Orlando, FL
We get hands on experience with the teachers. The classes are small enough to interact with your peers in a group discussions or class room discourse. There are also computer labs in almost every building and residential hall so that everyone can learn and be able to complete homework.
Jayla from Beltsville, MD
I am an engineering major and i am learning a lot here. All of my teachers are willing to work with you and help you to get the best grade in the class. Every teacher that I have come in contact with have been this way. And you learn a lot in each class.
Angelique from Norfolk, VA
Being a current Laboratory Animal Science major, I have learned an immense amount of new material that is just so fascinating to me in this major. I have always desired to be a Veterinarian, but I didn't have that much experience before I came to A&T. My family was hesitant about a city girl (Las Vegas born & bred) going to the 'country'. But I was provided with hands on experiences with animals in the lab AND at the farm, and I cannot stress how much it has increased my love for this field. The professors are very experienced and are nurturing, and have increased my wanting to try more and learn more. I also learned more about myself. I wasn't raised around many African Americans, or places that were rich in history and culture. But being at A&T has provided me with knowledge about my ancestry, the struggle behind the advantages that black students have today, and have helped me realize how fortunate I am to have an education because of those before me that fought and died for my chance to live freely without oppression. I've learned so much about the history of A&T and my culture, and it's so interesting. I just want to know more and more, and I love that A&T is providing me with such.
Tatiana from Las Vegas, NV
I am a freshman, just arriving at A&T. I would say im learning everything possibly needed for my freshman year. Im currently enrolled in University courses to prepare me for the difficult courses and enhance my learning skills. Im learning all about the university, its history, and of course the campus. You will be well prepared for your career once you finish at NC A&T SU!
Kimberly from Greensboro, NC
The teachers here are very informative, some of them make sure you understand before they move on to another topic. The Business program here is one of the best just not that known for it.
bianca from APO, AE, NY
North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University is the number 1 public HBCU that will change your life. The experience is like no other, creating numerous opportunities and displaying the true essence of aggie pride through school spirit and success. NC A&T is a great place that will offer various resources to take your education, career, character, as well as community to the next level of greatness.
Jasmine from Raleigh, NC
North Carolina A&T, is a great school, and has outstanding engineering programs. I am a current Mechanical Engineer major, that plans to graduate in 2016, and i have absolutely no complaints at all about the school; the people here are great and welcoming. North Carolina A&T is a great place to pursue your college career, and you will not regret it; theres always something to do.
Jonathan from Durham, NC
A&T is a wonderful institution! They provide lots of scholarship, and internship opportunities, and provide other services to their students to ensure success after graduation. I also found out at A&T that as long as I asked for help, I received help!
