Any of you guys go to NC State?

Depends on what you want to go for. There are a lot of professors who are just here for the research money, especially in the college of engineering, so they don't give a fug about their students. All of my roommates are engineers and I hear the horror stories. I've found most of the professors outside the CoE generally care about their students and want them to succeed. As with any college you'll have some classes of 200 and some of 20 so you have to be able to deal with both kinds of environments.

The social environment is pretty good, but it's a school mainly comprised of nerdy white kids and rednecks so it can be hit or miss. Same with the females.

I visited before I chose charlotte and was thoroughly unimpressed

Everybody's different, why don't you make the trip up there to see it yourself.

Because I'm in VA and am busy with classes at community college :D

How's Charlotte? I'm considering there as well because both my parents went to UNC Charlotte, I'm just going through the list of schools I could get into. I would prefer NC over VA simply because most of my family is in NC, if ya'll are wondering why I'm not considering JMU/UVA/etc.

Thanks for the info though guys, I appreciate it!

Charlotte's fine as long as you're not expecting a classic college town feel. There is plenty to do in regards to parties and bars, but you can't really walk to many of them. I've never been to State, so I can't really comment on how it's set up, but I've heard it doesn't really have a college town feel either. That's something you'd have to check out for yourself if that even matters to you.

Charlotte>Raleigh

Engineering school is good. Doesn't have as many programs as State for engineering overall, but the ones they share are pretty comparable from what I've been told. They just broke ground on the EPIC (Electrical Production and Infrastructure Center) Building a few days ago which has long been anticipated by local engineering firms like Duke, Areva, Shaw, and others. This will bring a lot more research money into the school.

Charlotte women>State women. State is like 65% male. Enough said in that regard

State has football, Charlotte does not until 2013 (and even then won't be nearly at the same level as what you get at State.

Basketball over the last 15 years or so has been pretty equal between the schools with State having a slight advantage.

I know plenty of people that have transferred from State to Charlotte and vice versa. From what I've heard they're not much different from one another except the whole football thing.

    • Arm strength has always been overrated. But Bryce's arm was also not as bad as it looked last year - he just had terrible mechanics / footwork. He's come a LONG way. Actually, his raw arm strength isn't bad at all, as we see when he's throwing balls on the move. But prior to his benching, he didn't seem to have his mechanics down consistently enough to really drive the ball. As to eating crow, plenty of fans thought the KC game was an anomaly. With a second good game, I'm interested to see if he can make it three in a row - especially against a MUCH tougher opponent. Here's hoping!
    • And that's not even getting to the discussion of that this kid has finally shown some sort of consistency after almost 2 years of being in the league. We dedicated an entire off season of team construction and money spent on him just so we could get to this point or you might as well say sample size of what he can actually give us after a full season of let down and the stans are already marching around wanting crow...I would do yourself a favor and put that crow on the shelf sit back and continue to observe bryces progress for now because it's not out the woodwork you wont be the one eating it. Lol
    • That doesn't concern me as much with how few of those big bodies WRs there are in the NFL these days, at least of the elite WRs, most of them are more fast/quick than big. It's also why I want T-Mac so bad, he'd be a unicorn in this league right now with his size and skill combo. I actually think Hunter would make for a nice pairing with Horn because of that.  Horn would be matched with the bigger/stronger WR of a team while Hunter would take on the speedier WRs. I see a lot of positives to drafting Hunter here, as a CB, but I see way too many downsides to want to take that risk with a pick we have to hit a home run with.  I'm taking T-Mac and Burden over Hunter as a WR and I'm taking Johnson over him as a CB, 100 out of 100 times. Hunter is a legitimate generational collegiate talent, but the fact is that he's not the best prospect at either of his positions in this year's draft, combine that with other issues that come with him, and I'm just going a different way if he's on the board, let someone else deal with that headache that will follow him.
