[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]never been to NC, plan to go for 3 day weekend in November to see the colleges and do a little sightseeing
Colleges:
Duke
UNC-CH
Wake forest 
Elon
Davidson

Any other we should add,  DC is interested in the top 50-60 colleges (SAT 1550+ 
Not sure about major yet)
we are not sure about driving,  7.5 hr one way is a lot for 3 days 
If we choose to fly, which airport and where to stay?

Charlotte seems to be the most interesting for sightseeing, is that right?

OP sightseeing? Not exactly sure what you mean by that.

We have lived in Raleigh and one of mine went to NC State Engineering.

Charlotte is not really in your line of sight perse. In other words, it's kind of out of the way given what you are going for. It's closest to Davidson.

Fly into RDU see Duke and UNC and Elon. Then Wake and Davidson.  They are about an hour apart.  Or Fly into Charlotte and Reverse.

Sightseeing there isn't much. Davidson is a very small town. Lovely but small nothing to do there but eat and a farmer's market. It's a great school but again a very small town. Wake Forest is in Winston Salem I personally love the school hate the town. Then Elon middle of nowhere.  Duke and UNC again not much around. UNC has a basketball museum.

Ashville and the surrounding area in your time schedule are not really done but would have been the best for sightseeing.

Raleigh would be second. But that is east of where you will be.

Ignore the trolls about UNC all of mine got in. It's a great school, mine just wanted more engineering strong schools. And do not get me wrong it is hard to get in but one does not know til they try.

You said you lived in NC so were in state when your kids got in? No one from our NoVa public get in, do I’d echo not getting your kids heart set. One look at Naviance shit that down for mine. Love love love Chapel Hill, make sure you spend a night there, great restaurants. [/quote]

No my kids lived in MOCO when they applied to college. Public MCPS HS.[/quote]
