[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another lax bro Greek party school?[/quote]

No way. My nephew goes there and he is as far from fratty as it gets and he absolutely loves it. He actually thinks it's more hipster than preppy. He chose it over UVA because of the different vibe. [/quote]

No, not at all.

The lacrosse team is good but sticks to themselves.  They aren’t the big men on campus.  And the Greek system isn’t very large in proportion to the size of the student body and isn’t the driving force of the social scene vs a school like UVA that has a much higher percentage of their student body pledging and being in the Greek system.

And for the person saying “I didn’t get the feeling I State students thought it was a big deal”, those in state students were UNC students, right.  So all your friends from UNC only got int their safeties? Why were they going to INC if they didn’t think it was so great?  And what exactly is the better instate school there?  ECU, NC State, UNCW, UNCG, App?  No, it’s Chapel Hill. And before you even post it, the overwhelming majority of instate college age kids do NOT want to go to Duke. I believe their instate NC rate 10% of their student body (not acceptance but percentage of students are from NC). The NC kids don’t want to go there.  I went to UNC OOS, and I have a large extended family who lives in NC. Several cousins are in high school and are either applying for college or getting ready in the next year.  I also have cousins who are teachers and administrators in high schools, including one who is a college counselor in Lee County and another who is a principal in Chatham County. We’ve had this conversation over and over.  The high schools often arrange college tours for juniors and seniors (school rents a bus and the group goes for a day or two to several NC schools, based on demand of how many kids want to see which schools) NC kids who are smart want to go to UNC, their instate safeties are ECU and State.  If they’re kind of hippie they like UNCA or App. If they aren’t too smart they like High Point, UNCG, Campbell.  If they’re super loaded and want a small private they might look at Dook or Wake.  Elon really isn’t super on their radar.  [/quote]
