A challenging yet very supportive university; good opportunities for future.
Tips: The university is academically rigorous but it helped me a lot to learn new things. There are many resources and mentors for you every step whenever you need help. My transition was smooth, I had even got my finances sorted and even secured a part-time job before arriving in the States. Most international students work part-time jobs here. The university offers scholarships and funding to various departments.
Likes (Public transportation): The university has its own public transportation which is well-connected to all campuses and the housing location that students prefer on or off-campus. The frequency is amazing year around. The public transportation is completely free and very convenient.
Dislikes (Value for money): The fee structure is very manageable compared to most of the Universities. And the university being a public university, has various facilities and resources for international students. The departments have funding and scholarships, even if you want to do a the university funds you for it.

Great value-for-money program.
Tips: One of the best courses with a strong curriculum and excellent career support. The Financial Mathematics programme at NC State offers a well-structured and rigorous curriculum. The career services are outstanding and very supportive with good industry exposure and guidance. Tuition is reasonable compared to similar programs and there are multiple scholarship opportunities available. Additionally, there are plenty of on-campus part-time jobs available for students. A great value-for-money programme.
Likes (Value for money): It is one of the best courses with a strong curriculum, excellent career services and reasonable tuition. Being rigorous academically and having excellent career guidance along with great industry exposure with hands-on projects makes this a great value-for-money programme.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Mostly American food options are available at a reasonable price. Indian grocery and food options are not very accessible. I prefer cooking for myself which reduces living expenses by a considerable amount. There is a Feed the Pack free grocery service which you can avail for basic groceries.

Great university for aerospace and Indian students.
Tips: Cultural shock might initially be challenging but the large Indian student population at NC State makes it easy to make friends, which can help ease homesickness. Securing Resident Assistant (RA) or Teaching Assistant (TA) positions is quite competitive so plan accordingly. Finding part-time work is relatively easy; dining jobs offer $10 per hour with a maximum of 20 hours per week, which can cover living expenses if you share a room and budget carefully. Over time you may be able to move into a higher grade or departmental position which is less demanding and offers better pay. Scholarships for Indian nationals are scarce. The university is excellent with a good faculty, well structured coursework and strong research opportunities. Be prepared to dedicate yourself to your studies. The academic approach here differs significantly from Indian universities; cramming won't suffice for good grades. Plan your studies thoroughly

Been a wonderful experience with great academics and faculty.
Tips: Living in NCSU has been an adventure in a lot of senses. You will be expected to bring out the best of your potential in the classrooms while being an active part of the community as well so all in all, you will be pretty busy. The city has a lot of interesting spots to explore but avoid eating out if you are planning on saving some cash. Overall, I am very satisfied with the course, college and the country.

Learning and growing every day at North Carolina State University.
Tips: I have transitioned well since coming to North Carolina State University. Before arriving I had visited the States a few times and was somewhat familiar with the customs. That probably helped me avoid any major culture shock. Take advantage of your leaves and explore the diversity of the city and other parts of the country if possible. There are so many things to see and do and you will be amazed at what you discover.

North Carolina State University has been an ideal place for me to learn and grown significantly.
Tips: What I have realised so far is that while the coursework here is challenging, it can also be rewarding. I've learnt to manage my academic commitments with extra curriculums and truly enjoy the experience offered here at NCSU. Students should use a planner or a digital calendar to help them out with their deadlines and planning. The exam patterns here are very different from those in India so it might take some time to adjust our faculty are helpful and you can reach out to them without any hesitation. There are numerous events and seminars held to help students so you should participate in them.
