• The campus spans over 1,500 acres of land and is a land-grant university with more than 30 campuses. We have some of the best libraries in the world, including the Hunt Library, which ranks in the top 10 globally.
• For sports, students have free access to the impressive Carmichael Gym. In terms of medical facilities, there is a clinic located on campus that is easily accessible to students. Additionally, there are numerous clubs, both technical and non-technical, that students can join. There are also many volunteering opportunities available.

• There are WhatsApp groups where you can connect with others, and there is also Maitri, an Indian graduate student association. Maitri helps link newcomers with existing groups and provides roommate finder sheets that match roommates based on preferences. Additionally, some online agents can help with this as well. Joining the Maitri student association is a great way to get started!

• Students are kept engaged through various activities and events on the campus. The faculties and the career guidance department do their best to help students get placed through events with a lot of tech companies.
• There are open events in the campus with food trucks, movie nights, runs and other sports events and much more
• The library facilities are great!

• Found online accommodation through an online portal – costs close to $550 a month, including utilities.

• 5- North campus, South Campus, Main Campus, Centennial Campus, Central Campus
• Facilities: 3 libraries (2 super huge). 5-storey gymnasium. 2 campus health centres (medical).
• Major clubs – Maitri (Indian student organisation), Hindu YUVA, Bhakti Yoga Club, ACM, IEEE, SWE, etc. Festivals – all (Ganpati, Diwali, Dussehra, Holi, etc.). Sports – you can participate, learn, practise and train for any and every sport that you like and represent NC State.

• Off-campus. Used whatsapp groups and communities. Maitri – the Indian Student Organization – circulates a roommate finder form through which people connect. For shared rooms, monthly rent is $350-450. For private, it is $600-750.
• Challenges – get your lease checked by NC State Legal Services.
• 10-15 mins walk from campus where most Indian students stay.

• Campus life is amazing; it's a really big campus (3000 sq meters) with a 5-floor independent library building and easy to get on-campus jobs

• Reach out to the MAITRI indian Student association. Average rent in 2019 was ~$300

• Main campus, centennial campus, north campus (the rest I don't know; available online)
• 2 libraries, AMAZING gym, health center, cafes, legal services office, mental health support.
• GSA Social, Midnight howl run, Maitri indian student association, masquerade ball, diwali celebrations. Many sports clubs are available: boating, fencing, martial arts, boxing, etc. kayaks and camping gear are also available for rent.

• Real estate agent called wilson. $625, washer/dryer, microwave, oven, fridge, private bath and private bedroom, near to bus stops.
• Have to pay an application fee first to even apply for housing through wilson, cannot select the flat we want in the building; floor assigned randomly; house was infested with cockroaches when we arrived.
• I would say join the whatsapp groups and connect with other students; many are subleasing. they will get a good deal and also go through the real estate agent companies like wilson and trinity.
• About 10 to 15 mins by car/bike. Most indian students stay at the same place i do, it's called University Commons.

• Campus is beautiful with lots of clubs and extracurricular activities. World-class gym and library.
• Outdoor activities like kayaking , trekking etc are conducted by clubs.

• Plenty off campus accomodation avalable. Around $650 for private room and $350 for a shared room.

• Pretty amazing campus life 

• 3 libraries with all imaginable gear/devices/ books ,Multiple research facilities 

• Annual events mostly in Fall semester.

• State of art gym facility ,1 Lake trail ,Golf course ,Ice cream shop everything basic available.

• There’s honestly a lot to explore but at the same time it makes the campus huge to do so. 

• Researched available off campus housing websites and applied on them.
• I pay $337.5/month for a shared room in a 2b2b apartment

• We have 4 campuses for my college. The main ones are the main campus and centennial for engineering students.
• Both of these have library, main campus has sports, medical, music services. The gym is one of the biggest I have ever seen across USA.
• The college provides good awareness of wellness and recreation. The main campus festivals are packapalooza, which is a shopping fest, moonlight howl and run, which is a midnight running fest, and a lot more are there.

• I searched on facebook for accommodation. The monthly rent was 500$ and the utilities costed around 300$ including food for one month.
• This was for a private room and bathroom, which I consider to be very cheap comparatively. I encountered no challenges while securing accommodation.
• The house is pretty far from college (30 minutes by bus, but 10 minutes by car, but I don't own a car). Most indian students stay in Avery Close, which is still 10 minutes by bus, but the rents there are higher.

• NC State University is spread across a massive 2,000-acre area. Undergraduate classes are mostly on the main campus, while master’s students attend classes on the Centennial Campus. Campus is 4 miles from downtown Raleigh. The university has large libraries, great sports facilities with gyms, fields, and courts, and a student health centre offering medical care, counselling, and free primary care.
• Big events happen a lot. Packapalooza is fun, with food, music, and free goodies like T-shirts. Football games are crazy exciting; everyone loves them. Moonlight Run is a night run event with a really cool vibe. Hillsborough Street is where most fun stuff happens, like fireworks and music nights.
• Clubs and groups are everywhere. Sports, tech, or cultural activities—you'll find something. Events bring people together, and it’s easy to join in and make friends. Life here isn’t just about studying; it’s got something for everyone.

• I opted for off-campus accommodation and found it through a WhatsApp forum. Each university has an Indian student community office called Maitri, where students share accommodation ads.
• My monthly rent was $600, which included electricity, water, and Wi-Fi. The accommodation came fully furnished with a sofa, kitchen, washer, and dryer, all set up by the property owner.
• The main challenge I faced was the initial search, but joining the university’s community groups on platforms like Reddit and Maitri made the process easier.
• For future students, I recommend joining the college's official groups, such as Maitri, and checking platforms like Reddit to find accommodation options.
• My accommodation was about 1 mile from the bus stop, which was convenient for commuting. Most Indian students tend to stay off-campus in nearby apartments or rental homes.

The campus and infrastructure are very big and amazing! There are lot of extracurricular activities and networking events in order to make social as well as work network.

Stayed in off-campus housing - the cost of 290$ for a shared room. 4 students in a 2-bed apartment. pretty reasonable and affordable. Rentals can be paid easily via part-time jobs.
