Considering a transfer (2+2 Engineering) to NCSU, and had a few questions about the campus!

Hey, everyone. I am going to UNCW and considering the 2+2 Engineering program agreement with NCSU. I would be going for Civil Engineering. I just had a few questions for some current/past NCSU students, and even better yet, transfer students or past/current Civil Engineering students.

  1. What is it like making friends and getting involved socially/on-campus after transferring? This is my biggest worry with transferring, having to leave my friends at UNCW and starting over halfway through college at a totally new campus. In your experience, have transfer students done OK socially after coming to NCSU? Are there good opportunities to be involved on-campus?
  2. What is the campus like, specifically Centennial campus, since that’s probably where I’ll be often as an engineering student? I’ve heard Centennial is less active/provides less opportunities to be involved on-campus, mostly socially. Is this true? Being able to make friends and be active socially/engaged with the school is important to me. How is it getting between campuses, if I have classes at both, for example. What if the classes are in the same day, how do you get from campus-to-campus? At UNCW it’s all just one campus lol.
  3. Did anyone do Civil Engineering, or just engineering in general, here? I’ve heard it’s a great school for engineering, but was just hoping to get a feel for it. I know it’s got a great Nuke Engineering program, but haven’t heard as much about Civil here, so I’d love to get some perspectives.

Thanks so much in advance! If you did a 2+2 program, or even just transferred to NCSU in general, please let me know about your experience.

Were you not admitted to any of the three NC publics with civil engineering (NC A&T, NCSU, UNC Charlotte)?

I didn’t apply to any of those three, because I initially was not considering Civil Engineering when applying to colleges.

NC A&T and UNC Charlotte are still accepting applications, contingent on space being available. You may want to contact them to see if they have space available in the civil engineering major.
