Being a Good Neighbor
Being proud of your neighborhood and respectful of your neighbors
Living off-campus means joining the community of Raleigh. There are diverse residential neighborhoods around NC State that are occupied not only by fellow students, but families, professionals, and the elderly.
It’s important to recognize your responsibilities as a member of the Raleigh community and to be a strong representation of the Wolfpack community to your neighbors.
Raleigh’s nickname is the City of Oaks
