[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would you compare these schools? Looking in Carolinas for DD who is interested in marine biology but also wants a fun sort of rah-rah school that's not gigantic. Also looking in New England and Florida (California is too far) but our first stop is a trip to the Carolinas. I know College of Charleston has a strong program but the female ratio and lack of bigger sports is not as appealing to her. TIA![/quote]

I'm an NC native.

Also an MC native, and UNCW is tough to get into for Marine Bio and draws kids from across the country for that program specifically. For Marine Bio it is heads and tails above State.
Is NC State in Raleigh is too large? (The undergrad enrollment is around 29K.) They have a great Marine Sciences program. A friend (in the DMV)  has a senior there. Last year, he did a semester in Morehead City, NC (which is on the coast if you are not aware) through NC State's CMAST program. They will be a more difficult admission compared to ECU, UNC-W and I assume Coastal.

UNC-W will be largely in-state students. It doesn't have huge sports. My friends from HS who went there really loved it.

ECU is pretty large, quite honestly.  I'd really hesitate to send my kid there. It is a very high party scene.

I can't comment much on Coastal, other than it is near Myrtle Beach.
