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 diverse 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.

Follow along with the latest happenings at NC State.
We’re passing the mic to four members of Wolfpack Nation who have played an integral role in Chancellor Woodson’s NC State career. 🎙️ The chancellor is set to retire this year after a decade and a half of service to NC State. We’re wrapping up Woodson’s time as the host of Red Chair Chats with an extended episode — and this time, he’s answering the questions.
“Because I’ve announced my retirement, everybody that I see says, ‘What will you miss?’ And honestly, it’s the interactions with everybody that’s here,” Chancellor Woodson said. “This is a special place, and it’s a special place because people love it.”

What started as a dare between students has grown into NC State’s sweetest tradition. 🍩🏃♂️💨
This weekend, thousands raced in the 21st annual @krispykremechallenge — a quest of guts, glory and glaze. Runners dash two and a half miles from the Belltower to Krispy Kreme, eat 12 doughnuts and then finish with another two-and-a-half mile run back to campus. All in one hour.
Since its inception, the nationally recognized race has raised more than $2 million for @uncchildrens. 👏

AI didn’t write this caption... or did it? Ishita Pai Raikar ’26 spearheaded the AI Ethics Panel Series to shine light on some of the biggest ethical questions surrounding artificial intelligence. Set to run through May 2026, the series has featured expert panelists from Microsoft, Future World Alliance and beyond. The next panel, scheduled for Jan. 15, will highlight the intersection of AI and art, design and music. #ThinkAndDo

Y’all have great questions. We have great answers.

A Dynamic Environment
How would we describe our campus? Gorgeous, traditional architecture meets leading-edge, futuristic structures. (It’s a combination you won’t see at any other university in the area.)
