Campus Life
As you pursue a world-class education here, you’ll also discover exceptional opportunities beyond our classroom walls.
NC State has a lively, welcoming campus community where every member of our Pack can thrive and grow. Find countless extracurricular activities, plenty of future friends and — most importantly — a place you’ll forever be able to call home.
Make Yourself at Home
You’re always in the center of the action when you make your home on our campus. Live steps away from exciting activities and community events, support services and amenities. (Plus, we’ve got you covered for everything from coffee-fueled study sessions to late-night snack runs.)
600+ Student Organizations
If you’re into it, there’s a community here for you.
Find Your People
Our campus is filled with bright minds and varied perspectives, so you’re bound to meet a group of like-minded peers. And the connections you make with your wider Wolfpack will last a lifetime.
Talented artists. Skilled athletes. Keen crafters. Hardcore hobbyists. No matter your interests, there’s a place for you — and we’ll help you find it.

Today is Chancellor Kevin Howell’s first day. 👏🐺 Howell is NC State’s 15th chancellor and the third NC State alumnus to serve in the role.
“When I think about what I love most about NC State, it’s you — the people. The students, faculty and staff that keep this place and our mission moving forward day after day here in Raleigh, across the state and beyond,” Howell said in his first message as chancellor.
He comes to NC State from UNC Health. Prior to that role, he served as NC State’s vice chancellor for external affairs, partnerships and economic development. Welcome home, Chancellor Howell!
Dancing with your friends, finding your family in the crowd, turning your tassel with your bestie, swaying to the alma mater. Graduating. That is the whole point.
We’re so proud of you, class of 2025. Can’t wait to see what you Think and Do next. 🤘🐺🐾 #NCState25
Our hearts ever hold you, Wolfpack. We proudly present the class of 2025 — our newest @ncstatealumni. 🎉🎓🐺 #NCState25
“At NC State, I have not only learned what I want to do with my career, but I have found myself as a person. I have been a Student Alumni Association Ambassador for the past 3 years, where I have been able to play a huge part in keeping traditions here at NC State, and fostering the Wolfpack spirit on campus. I am so grateful for all of the memories and friends! I have been able to give so much back to the place that has given so much to me.” —Ashlin Austin ’25, @NCStateCHASS #NCState25 #HowlBack

“To be graduating with my bachelor’s of social work in just 3 years, 4.0 GPA and debt-free all are nothing short of testimony after testimony. All proof of a God who has never failed me, and a reality that He has heard every prayer — especially those whispered faithfully by my mother long before I understood the weight of them.
Looking back, I see the hand that sustained me, the goodness that followed me, and the love that kept me. Yet, beyond the grades, accolades and internships — the sweetest part of the journey has been deeper friendship with Him. Being able to do it all with Him and for His glory.
The entire journey has been a reflection of this verse [Psalms 23:6]. And still, I know He’s only just begun. Thank you, Jesus. Oh… and master’s in social work coming soon.” —Bethel Chanyalew ’25, @ncstatechass #NCState25 #HowlBack 🎓🐺

“College taught me so much about who I am and who I’m becoming. Between late nights in the library, finding my voice in Phi Psi, and the growth that came from studying abroad, I’ve changed in ways I never expected. I’m leaving with more than a degree. I’m leaving with confidence, clarity and so much gratitude for the people and moments that shaped me.” —Sarah Harte ’25, @ncstatewilson #NCState25 #HowlBack

Hats off to you, #NCState25! 🐺🎓👏
“Looking back on my five years in Raleigh, I’m grateful for, and proud of what I’ve built. Failure was an important lesson and part of my journey. I think it’s something people shy away from, but it shouldn’t be. I learned you won’t do what you’re not interested in.
With that in mind, I’ve followed what I’m interested in. It’s taken me to Omaha and Orlando to cover the College World Series and the Pop Tart Bowl as a photographer for Student Media. It’s taken me to Milan, Vienna and Prague pursuing my international studies degree. It’s taken me to observing native Venus flytraps in the Green Swamps of North Carolina and uncovering fossil plants from rock in Virginia pursuing my plant biology degree.
College is all about opportunities, and some of them won’t pan out, but others will make you the 2024 pool battleship intramural champions, and I can’t wait to see what opportunities the future holds! Go Pack!” —Griffin Bryant ‘25, @ncstatecals and @ncstatechass
