RecommendsApproves of CEOI worked at North Carolina State University full-time for more than 5 years

Depending on the which department and research group you join, there are some research groups which are equipped and the researcher can carry out descent research. There is a modern, quite brand new library on Centennial campus and great gym on the main campus.
Cons
The university dinning place on the Centennial campus does not serve food with high variety and high quality, apposed to dinning rooms on the main campus. Moreover, some departments require the graduate students pay high fees to the Engineering school.

"work environment depends on specific situation"
Approves of CEOI have been working at North Carolina State University full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
There are a lot of smart, helpful people working at the university. The chancellor is a kind and competent leader. The libraries and librarians are great. My experience in my advisor's lab has been very positive.
Cons
The university has initiatives to support students struggling from sexual harassment or problems with their advisor, but students (especially graduate students who don't have a university academic advisor) don't really know about these services. There is an underlying misogynistic culture in some departments.
