North Carolina A&T State University Reviews
Rating 3.75 out of 5 3,166 reviews
Rating 4 out of 5
Overall I think North Carolina A&T State University is the greatest HBCU. I love the campus, the over atmosphere. One of the best things about campus is the campus events. Aggies Fest, Fairs, Blood drives, wellness day activities and so many more.
I’ve enjoyed most of my Professors. The professors at A&T and dedicated to the success of their students. The connects made with some professors will never be broken.
I think the things to be improved on is campus safety! We recently had an active shooter on campus and it was the scariest event to ever happen on campus during my time at the University. The safety of students should be the University’s number one concern. It would be refreshing and comforting to see more campus police out and active on campus 24/7. This would make students feel safer, and help keep predators away.

My time at North Carolina A&T was truly remarkable overall. The professors, courses, and fellow students significantly enriched my college journey. While the on-campus housing didn't quite meet expectations, the off-campus apartments sufficed. What truly stood out was the vibrant spirit, energy, and deep pride that permeated the entire institution. Aggie Pride was alive and thriving!

North Carolina A&T State University is the best school in the entire nation, make no mistake! The student life, including athletics, Greek life, and other clubs/organizations all thrive at this university. North Carolina A&T also has a rich history immersed in the entire city of Greensboro. Beyond that, our education excels, as the university graduates the most black engineers of any institution in the nation. With all the positive being said, the only negatives I personally can remember of the institution is the housing. Housing could easily be described as a cutthroat situation, with MANY students not being able to receive proper housing. However, it seems they are attempting to build more housing for students which could alleviate this issue.
