[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk to people in NC.

It is not as well regarded there for top STEM. For Chem, Bio, math , UNCCH is much better. For Engineering, as UNC does not really have it, NCstate is better. However, the top engineering talent in NC HSs usually leave the state and go to T20 unis /GaTech / Mich, and if they have any amount of financial need, they usually pay same or LESS than instate at NC state, for a much better education.

Try again.

NC State has a fabulous Eng campus and program and internships and job access. I would not send a kid for Math either to UNC absolutely not. Yes UNC for Bio and Chem if going to medical school not engineering based.

And no top talent does not flee the state ridiculous. Why because NC students are not well regarded at other top schools. NC has a huge homeschool and religious private population they are not going to top schools out of state. Charlotte Publics possibly but that is it. Wake County schools are atrocious.

NC has a great public college system the cost for instate can not be beat. Most people with a brain who live there know this.

[b]NC State's campus sucks with the football stadium a car ride away,[/b] food sucks as well. However engineering and STEM way better at State than UNC. Intermural programs are fabulous at State if a student likes that. Lot's of students participate in Take 8 at State which is a program that a student takes 8 activity courses while being there they get a water bottle  & T shirt LOL. It's very fun. Purpose is to keep students minds & bodies well. Decrease stress.

NC State also has a fabulous Textile school with a Master's program that is amazing. One of mine did undergraduate at NC State Electrical Engineering then did a Masters in Textiles they are now a CTO at a start up in Colorado a job they got directly from their experience and internships through NC State.

Would I recommend state to an OOS student for anything but Engineering no. And it can be slightly harder to make friends as student body is only about 12% OOS. Most kids come from the Charlotte area.

Are you saying the campus sucks because the football stadium is a car ride away...or for other reasons?

My kid played a baseball tournament at NC State (baseball field is nice and right on campus) and I really enjoyed the campus and the area of Raleigh.  Not sure why folks say the campus sucks.

The Wake Forest football stadium is a car ride away...the UCLA stadium is a pretty big car ride away...I still think those are nice campuses.[/quote]
