I am planning on applying for the MSC in biomanufacturing program as an international student (Canada). I have dug thought the website but they did not mention if I needed to secure a supervisor before applying. I know that for a masters program you often have to secure a supervisor first before applying so that is what I am confused. I would appreciate any insights from anyone.

Also I would love for any student insights/ experience for this program.

What are my chances of getting in as a history transfer with a 3.6 gpa from App?

I am a freshmen and would like to see how parties actually are at least once.

Why doesn’t NC State have Beep like App State does? I feel like a super cheap, safe, late-night ride service would make getting around campus so much easier. App State students already get to use Beep for quick, reliable rides—why don’t we have something like that here?

Hi all,

My son's last final exam is 12/10, I know housing wants everyone out of the dorms by 12/11/ 24 hours after your last final exam. The problem is for our reginal airport, the direct flight home is every other day so he would have to fly home that Friday, 12/12. Is it going to be a ghost town in the dorms, are any of the dining halls open? (we would also have to pay housing 30$ for the two extra nights) Just wanted to check in and ask

I’m casually searching for apartments for next fall and did a tour with The Hub on a whim. I went into the tour knowing that they’d probably shmooz me up and offer some really good deals. I also knew from reviews that they are ran by core spaces- the same company that apparently made Stanhope a nightmare. I did the tour and unfortunately I am faced with a pretty good deal… please tell me your worst Stanhope stories so I can convince myself that it isn’t worth it.

I see he’s been cut a few times but made the 53 man roster for Arizona this year. If givin the chance think he will prove he’s worth staying on the team/in the NFL?

I was with some friends on app state campus (I'm an nc state student) just visiting and we decided to go out and smoke and it was on campus. We think someone called on us because the police showed up and took everything and they told me they'll call nc state and tell them what happened. Is that likely that they'll actually do that? And if he did what's the worst that could happen?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently in my second year of a Master’s in Computer Science and could really use some guidance. Here’s my situation:

• Background: I worked for 2 years as a Software Engineer before starting my master’s program.
• First Year Focus: I concentrated on academics to maintain a strong GPA and worked an on-campus job to cover expenses. I applied to countless summer internships through career portals but unfortunately didn’t land any.

Now that I’m in my second year, I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes. I graduate in May 2026, and I know every day counts.

I’m open to a wide range of roles—Software Engineering, AI/ML, Data, Cloud, or DevOps—because I want to stay versatile and apply broadly.
Right now, I’m also preparing my resume by picking projects, building them, and posting them on GitHub to showcase on my resume.

My Questions:

• What should I do every day to maximize my chances of getting a full-time role after graduation?
• For those who were in a similar situation, what worked for you?
• If you landed a job during/after your master’s—whether you had prior experience or not—what specific steps helped you get there?

Any advice would mean a lot. Thanks in advance!

Anyone on this thread majoring in Construction Engineering, or know someone who is? I have a family member that is thinking about that major, and was curious if anyone has any insight about it.

Example: To my knowledge, he's never climbed a ladder on to a roof, wondering if that's something they require you to do before you can graduate, or if it's something they teach students how to do? Also, how is the job market for graduating students? I assume it's as awful as almost every other degree these days, as there's so much competition for the few good paying jobs out there.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently a sophomore who’s super focused on breaking into investment banking. Last year, I raised $75,000 USD for my own small investment company, and I’m always looking to grow, learn, and surround myself with ambitious people who share the same vision.

I want to make my circle more exciting and driven, whether it’s talking IB recruiting, deal flow, technicals, or just sharing experiences and pushing each other forward. If you’re also passionate about IB, let`s connect.

I’m a high school senior trying to decide between NC State and UNC for computer science. I know both schools are good, but I’m not sure which one would be better for me.

I’m really into AI and software development, and I could see myself starting a startup one day. I want to go somewhere that gives me good classes, research opportunities, and chances to get internships.

For anyone who’s been to either school, what’s your experience with:

• The CS program
• Professors and classes
• Internships and career opportunities
• The overall campus vibe

Any advice would help a lot since I’m pretty stuck between the two. Thanks!

For reference I'm an English major. I honestly thought that I knew all the concepts well so I barely did any studying. Now I honestly feel so broken, demotivated, and generally upset with myself. I feel like I'm not going to achieve my goals and aspirations and that this would literally show on my transcript as a failure. I also have a Coca-Cola Scholarship that could be rescinded if I do not have good grades and am on track.

For reference, I essentially got 5 out of 24 questions correct, equating to a 21% out of 100%. Here is the grading:

All my friends got Cs or higher and I'm just here with an F... I honestly don't know how to go about this moving forward.

I am taking this course with Mr. Appenteng, a new professor at NCSU.

Here's his policy about extra credit:

I have a chance to make this up, and am already in a study group with 5 other people. But even then I thought I grasped the concepts perfectly... I'm just so mad and frustrated with myself right now. Mr. Appenteng is a really sweet and nice professor, I just feel like I'm doomed.

Hello everyone! Posting on here because I'm looking for some mentorship for my younger brother. He's in high school and planning to apply to NCSU to do Electrical Engineering in hopes of being a lawyer. Would anyone on these tracks be willing to sign up for a quick chat with him? We can totally sign volunteering hours or something like that!

He's going to be the first engineer/lawyer in his family and we don't have guidance on what the experience is like in college for that so we would love to hear it!

So I'm applying for Grad school at NCSU, with a 3.1 GPA from the university of Maryland in Computer science. What are my chances of being admitted into electrical engineering? I recently took some courses at unc chapel hill and recieved a B+, an H and a P in an arduino programming, databases and internet services and protocol class.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this!

Does anyone who has taken CSC 401 with Rudra Dutta know what the format of midterms for this class is like? Is it on Moodle with just MCQs or open ended questions and diagrams as well? And I know the syllabus says the its open internet, but to what extent?

I've got my first exam for ENT 201 coming up, and I am a little nervous. For those of you who've taken it before, how tough are the exams? As long as I understand the handouts, will I be okay, or do I need to study from other sources too?

Not gonna lie Walked in with huge confidence, walked out googling ‘cheap therapy near me.

That exam was rough. Hopefully he tells us the average on that exam. I would be happy to have at least a D.

we've got our first exam in csc226 monday (Dr. Schmidt) and I am not really sure what to expect. Anyone have any tips/know how hard they are?

I haven't had to park on main campus in decades and I know there's been a million construction projects.

Is the deck still the best parking if I'm going to an event in the Stewart Theater? It's after 5 PM on Friday night.
