It’s a love hate relationship

You stress… a lot

Engineering is really hard. When you are in 15+ credits of straight engineering class (or in some cases 12-15), you have a lot of difficult work to do. Nothing is worse than a week when you have multiple tests, homework assignments, and projects. During the year you can't ever seem to catch a break, except during dead week, but that just means you should start studying for finals.

You like the quiet of Centennial Campus

Stereotypically, engineering students are considered quiet nerds. Yeah we might be a little nerdy, but the quietness and smaller at-home feel of Centennial campus is nice when you are drowning in homework and need to avoid distraction. It never seems to get too loud in the buildings (unless EB3 is your home and you hear the wind tunnel).

You always use the 3 bus

There are other routes that go between both campuses, but the 3 bus is literally called "Engineering" for a reason and it is arguably the quickest link between Main Campus and Centennial Campus.

No Friday classes

Majority of the engineering professors do not like Friday classes because they like that day for research, conferences, etc. The university also typically will not schedule engineering classes on Fridays so majority of your semesters here you get three day weekends every weekend.

You live in Hunt Library

If you are and engineering major then you have definitely been in Hunt Library before. Group study rooms, silent reading spaces, data space, etc. all make it a great place to do homework and study for tests. During big test weeks or finals, many engineering students pull all-nighters in hunt several times throughout the week, making it another home.

When you are not in Hunt you are in your EB

EB *insert number here* is like your second home. You are loyal to your major's engineering building and like to tell people how your building is best.

You understand the struggle of PCJ and the Oval closing so early in the day

Like why are the hours so strange? Engineers have to eat too. I understand that they don't make as much money during the off hours though, but it's still a slightly strange schedule.

Going to the Engineering Career Fair

NC State has the second largest career fair in the nation and the first largest on the east coast. So many other schools come to get recruited from our career fair. This just goes to show how much companies really want NC State engineers.

The EB2 holiday decorations

Why is EB2 the only EB that gets decorations during the holiday season? They are pretty, but where's the holiday spirit in the other EBs?
