Interesting, as Wake and UNC were basically tied in the rankings for YEARS. I'm not going to get into Duke - I never even considered it and I have no interest in starting a fight over it.

I would imagine Wake is probably more conservative now as the tuition has gone up. Kids were mostly apolitical when I was there. My sorority was a pretty good mix of views. Many of my friends who were on the R side then have come more towards the middle. I don't think any of them are boosters of the current potus.[/quote]

Just correcting a few errors in the prior two posts:

Wake is less conservative than a few decades ago because the percentage of kids not from the south has greatly increased.

Nor is it in the shadow of UNC.  In state kids see UNC differently than oos because it just isn’t that hard to get in, especially with kids coming from the more rural parts of the state.  Duke, different story.[/quote]
