    Proud place for every wolf from the pack.... Go pack🐺.. It is the place to remember veterans. Everytime when NCState is proud of something, let it be a win in basketball or anything that NCstate is proud of, the Bell tower is lit red to celebrate victory of red and white(color of ncstate)

    The Bell Tower Tour by Dr Tom Stafford was great, full of history, little know facts and even a look inside to see the memorial room. The tour started at the arched entrance to Holiday Hall where the university began. If you get the opportunity, take the tour.

    Great landmark. Lots of space to sit and take it all in. Good great areas all around to hang out, play or just relax. Lots of good food and other shops in the vicinity.

    Similar to UNC, this location also offers a great opportunity for graduate students to capture memorable photos of their academic achievements. However, finding a parking spot can be challenging, especially during peak hours. On the bright side, there are many restaurants nearby that serve delicious food and cater to different tastes and preferences. This location has more dining options than Chapel Hill, which makes it more appealing for visitors and locals alike.

    This tall, fully erect structure has been standing for several decades. In recent years it underwent preservation work to ensure that it continues to stand hard and erect for many decades to come. Come check it out if you need inspiration, or a reminder of what it was like to be a young man.... standing tall and proud in the face of adversity, a symbol of your fleeting potency.

    As a student to NC State, I always love driving by the Bell Tower. It's a symbol of NC State and makes me proud to see it almost every day. Can't wait to graduate and take pictures in front of it.

    Beautiful place to visit at NC State. It is very open and has the history right of the Belltower located on site. The flowers and landscape around the tower is beautiful. Take a nice walk around NC State and see the Belltower.

    This was a nice stop while we were in the area. The tower is beautiful and hearing the bells is definitely amazing. Plus the area around it has tons of grass which us great for kids to run and play. The area is perfect to park and walk the street as there are some cute little restaurants and shops nearby. Great monument at the gateway to North Carolina State University. Hope you get a nice sunny day to take good photos

    I got a tour of the Bell Tower from inside, guided by Dr. Thomas H. Stafford Jr. The newly created green space on the north side of the Talley Student Union is named the Stafford Commons in recognition of Thomas H. Stafford, Jr’s years of service to the university. Dr. Stafford briefly narrated the history of the Bell Tower, it's significance and the timeline of its construction. After narrating the history, he asks us a question based on the names of the fallen heroes carved on the granite inside the Bell Tower. When no one is able to answer the question, the answer leaves us amazed!

    This iconic bell tower is a must see and a great place for pictures. If you get the chance, visit inside.

    I took the 1st and last photos of my son here, freshman to graduation. Im so proud to be a wolfpack mama, and this bell tower signifies all the bright futures to our family. Love it!

    When entering part of NC State you are welcomed by the Memorial Bell Tower. The tower is worth a stop to stand back and appreciate the architecture of the campus monument. The tower marks the entrance to part of the Campus. You are able to walk around and enjoy a nice green tree lined campus. You cannot go up in the tower.
