North Carolina Central University
Phone: (919) 530-6100
With undergraduate degrees in dozens of disciplines, master’s programs in more than 40 areas and a Ph.D. in Integrated Biosciences, graduates from the university’s seven colleges and schools share their impact globally. And since NCCU was the first state-supported university in North Carolina to require community service as a graduation requirement, its historical ties to the surrounding neighborhood and the City of Durham remain strong.

Move-in day for students. I was a volunteer through my church, which we have been doing for some years. We helped to facilitate a smooth move-in on a sunny day. We assisted in moving things to one of the halls, served water to ease the stress of climbing up to go to the halls. Breakfast and pizzas for lunch. We also shared care packs, which contained lip balm, cup, foot and hand cream to students. -
Great college. Had an amazing time at graduation. When you think HBCU, you think NCCU. Looking forward to good things and the bright futures that they have produced.

Let's get into this review!!
If your wondering if this is a good university, its better than good, IT'S GREAT!!
The campus is small and friendly. There's lots of activities and events that students can attend. These activities promote education, professional growth and development and socialization.
I was especially pleased to see they had a Wellness Center where students can get physicals, medication refills and triage appointments. Let's not forget to mention they also encouage scholars to address mental health and mindfulness.
If you're on the fence, book a tour! We did and our tour guides were the best. I cant recall names but one is/was on the cheer team and the other did A/V or photography for the university. They both were awesome and braved the cold weather to give us the best tour in December 2025. Honestly, they helped win me over.
So I'll end this review with this birds fly but Eagles soar!!

Beautiful stadium 🏟. Work there three times and I love it. The best part of my job was watching the defeat between Raymond (14) by NC State (24). I have so much fun
