The Division of Student Affairs supports all NC State students with hundreds of extracurricular learning, recreational and cultural activities. Campus life at NC State offers more than 40 different intramural and Division I varsity sports, a thriving Greek community, more than 400 student organizations, and a variety of student publications and media outlets. Study-abroad opportunities are available in most any country imaginable. If you are ready to grow your experience, skills and resume, job internships and co-ops are great ways to learn and have fun—beginning your freshmen year.
