Junior: NC State is not just a school with great academics, campus, and people, but instead a wildly diverse cosmopolitan community. At State there is truly something for everyone. For those who don’t know or have never visited campus, State is located close to Downtown Raleigh. Students enjoy its busy commercial areas as well as the abundance of tech companies, government departments, and awesome parks. On the weekends, friends and myself enjoy the nightlife of Raleigh and the rest of the Triangle. Besides the sense of place that NC State provides, the faculty is remarkable. They retain a sense of intellectual prowess without that air of elitism that other public and private universities might have. Every faculty member I have interacted with has been down to earth and actually cares about student success. I have made so many great connections and friendships since being here. Even though the campus is huge and our student body is large, State feels like a close knit community. Go pack!... Read 3,399 reviews

Freshman: I decided to choose Blue Ridge Community College, specifically as a pre-transfer school so that I may transfer into a four year after obtaining my associate's degree. As a high school senior, I greatly appreciated the ability to take online college courses while working full time, attending high school, and in the pursuit of my degree. Nearly all of my professors were incredibly passionate, diligent, and were genuinely dedicated to both teaching and helping their students succeed in their professional future. Also during my time there, due to an anonymous and generous sponsor that allowed for all of the students to attend tuition free for nearly two years! I have been very impressed with Blue Ridge Community College in Flat Rock North Carolina, and will continue finishing out my associate's degree after high school.... Read 128 reviews

Niche User: Hello, my name’s Josey! My current experience at Nash Community has been more than incredible! I’ve familiarized myself through the online systems I’ve been operating with for over 8 months now and have been pleased with absolutely everything on how functional the work and staff align on a general element. The staff have ensured that us students are taught properly and understanding the overall material without making us over stress or feel burnt out in an instant. I recommend this community college to many and have been enjoying the Career & College Promise Program I’ve been in through Southern Nash High School by which I’m very grateful to have been offered and given the opportunity surely! Thank you and happy studying to you all! :)... Read 204 reviews

Freshman: Surry Community College has gone above and beyond to help me do my absolute best in college. I have taken college classes since I was a sophomore in high school, and my father was terminally ill. When he passed away my junior year, all of my professors were extremely kind and understanding, and helped me adjust to the schoolwork when I was ready. Since then, I have not had a single bad encounter with a professor or anyone at SCC. I highly recommend the school.... Read 150 reviews

Freshman: My advisors have been so helpful in my registration and enrollment process, and I feel supported in a process that can be overwhelming. After years of being on-the-fence about what was the right decision as far as continuing my education, seeing the various programs and opportunities offered by Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College gave me confidence that this was the place to achieve my goals. Their trainings in New Student Orientation and easy-to-navigate Student Self-Service portal have started my college journey off on the right foot, and the communication between staff and students is always quick and informative, even going so far as to schedule appointments via Zoom to maintain their focus on public safety and health. Of the 25,000 students that attend this college, I am more than grateful to be one of them.... Read 321 reviews
