Incoming exchange student @ NCSU | What are your tips to enjoy the Varsity Life ?

Dear WSO,

French BS student here and finishing my Off-cycle internship in december, I will be joining NCSU for spring 2023 for a semester as an exchange student.

I am actually really thrilled about joining an american university (Y'all really have soft power on this one) and I am looking forward  to enjoy this experience as much as possible. Since I have been blasting a full year of internships (gap-year) It's my come back to student life and I wanna get the best of it.

What are your tips/things you wish you knew when you first joined university ? I am looking for general information on campus life, partying culture, etc. big plus if you studied in Europe so you can highlights the differences.

Thank you in advance,

Yours,

NTS
