Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Being a transfer student I learned quickly that you may get a lot of negative reviews from people when you tell them you're applying to NC A&T (FROM PEOPLE WHO DIDNT EVEN GO THERE!) They usually imply that it's a party school or something of that nature. I must admit that we are known for the greatest homecoming on earth but we are wayyyyyy more than that one week! It's a experience like no other and I encourage you to join the aggie experience, you're destined for success.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
NC A&T is well known for engineering because the program is great and many prosper after graduating. There are other programs/schools flourish as well. Ones that stood out to me during my first semester was JOMC, Engineering, Business, and Education. Nursing is the only program that I would not recommend (the accreditation is currently under review).
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I recommend dorm life because of the convience being that there is always something happening on-campus and it's walking distance to classroom buildings. There are two sides of dorm life (northside and southside). The north side of campus consist of nicer, more expensive dorms. The south side are cheaper, and not as nice however it provides an atmosphere that allows you to meet more people because there is less single room suites which forces you to have suite mates and roommates.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is great, (for the first week)! After that it's not up to par and It's far from a homecooked meal. However there are other alternatives such as fast food places and food trucks.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is ALWAYS something to do for fun. It truly depends on the individual interest. There are various clubs that host programs that appeal to different interest from forums, to dating games, to spoken word, modeling, etc. Usually the programs are advertised a week or two in advance so as long as you prioritize, you should never have to worry about not having something fun to do on campus.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Utilize all resources that you pay for! We have a lot of great resources such as the student health center, student union, campus rec, as well as free transportation that take you to different universities, downtown, the mall, Walmart and other locations.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
We have statues of the Greensboro Four on our campus. These statutes are only a glimpse of our rich history that NC A&T aggies stand on as a foundation to be great. These four men were freshman who played a role in the civil rights movement encouraging many to make a difference and take a stand.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for intelligent, hard working students willing to be a leader, make a change and climb towards greatness.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are clubs for Everyone! The official website displays a list of them and at the beginning of the year there is a huge event called the org fair that displays all organizations. I encourage students to join clubs within and outside of their majors.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
What's college without Greek Life? Greek life is a discrete matter on campus but one thing that is evident is that every org represents their org well through community service and leadership.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus safety is superb! We have well trained officers that genuinely care about the well being of the students and staff on campus. There have been minor incidents here and there but that's on every campus. Campus police take the initiative to inform students through forums, handbooks, and programs. Also there is many initiatives NC A&T offers to promote safety such as blue emergency pole, multiple offices on campus, a campus safety number, as well as aggie alerts.
