“Walking through campus on a crisp Raleigh day, how easy it is to get pulled into research or startup projects, that the workload can feel relentless and the campus size can get overwhelming, and that the Wolfpack hype can sometimes feel more intense than the support, yet the mix of big‑school resources and tight‑knit class friendships still makes it feel like the right place to be stretched.”
