So, Wen is a great teacher because he's serious. It really was admirable when I walked in the first day of his class how proffesional he was. He was a...

Robert Nowell

Nowell's not that bad. You just have to not expect much from him at the outset and work hard enough to pass the class in spite of him. If he likes you...

Solid campus

Nccu is the best hbcu

NCCU is okay university. It is what you make it.

Nccu is overall a good school despite what you may hear because it is a HBCU. The faulty is very supportive and helpful. They want to see the students succeed. Nccu offers many internships, jobs, and volunteering hours. The only thing bad about this school is the location. The campus does have police patrolling all day which is nice!

It's an okay university. Some of the professors care, some of the professors don't. You make the most out of the experience.

It's an okay school to start off at depending on your major, but some departments could use a little more work. College live is here is what you make it, the best bet is to get really involved on campus.

I think Central is fine for your gen eds but I don't think I could stand 4 years here. There's definitely room for improvement. Some of the professors are awesome but some are incoherent and act like they've never taught before. The heat is always on in the classrooms, even when it's hot out, the food is substandard, and parking is atrocious.

If Central focused on getting their students their Refund checks in a timely manner, and put money into the actual facilities instead of lining admins pockets, they would have a much better school. 2/3 of this school needs rebuilt and cleaned. Not being harsh just holding standards for my 4500 dollar/semester tuition.

The food is good at the very beginning of the school year, and then they just start throwing stuff together that doesnt even go together. The safety i terrible, there is always something going on or crime alert 2-3 times a the week. The location could be better. Thats why the safety is terrible.

Overall, I have enjoyed my time at NCCU. It is really about what you make it. When I first enrolled at NCCU in 2013 the reputation wasn't great but it is slowly progressing. The location sucks, especially compared to Duke and UNC. You have to be willing to seek opportunities but once you do, things will be great. NCCU is reconstructing everyday.

Your likelihood of success is based off of your own effort. Things could be easily looked over if you don't keep up with it, much like the real world. Much of the campus has been updated or soon to be updated. There is always something to do on campus, so much that its hard to choose which meeting to go to.

Safety is always a concern here. Some of the professors actually care, but the majority live by the "no one makes an A in my class" rule. It's frustrating that this place is ALWAYS filthy. There is a janitor on site 24/7, but he is always on his phone and never actually cleaning. Wish they had better clinic sites for learning.
