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.

    • This thread generated more than I expected.  Hmmm.  I like a good discussion, but you are all wrong unless you agree with me and I am right.  I recall when we had Cam nut huggers on here and that was fine because he was a Panther.  Now some are hugging on Sanders.  He is a talent, but my point was, he takes a beating. His daddy has been heavy in the portal, has some great athletes, but still can't get a dominant team on the field.  His son is sacked a LOT.  In the NFL, that makes for a short career.  Starter---blue tent---IR---uber driver.
    • He took a kill shot from an unblocked free rusher who might as well have announced he was coming. He looked like Bryce young out there: Bryce in the nfl I mean 
    • Uh oh somebody must be upset about that "Panthers don't know how to run a team post of yours" where I questioned curious to know how you know so much and are qualified perhaps? Projecting or not Deon is a walking talking issue currently and in my opinion as shown by many issues in Colorado the past couple seasons. Shedur will bust and will not be the star his dad was in my opinion also but until we see it all play out, both yours and my opinion is just that; an opinion.  He is a good QB in college no doubt but when he doesn't have dad at the next level I am curious to see how it goes. I was once around Deon however briefly during the COVID era. His eldest son was with a team I was involved with in a capacity for one shortened COVID season. No problem with his boy but his father I could tell was an issue. Without going into details, Deon is something else entirely. Perhaps not a completely bad human being but one that can get extremely toxic and thinks the world should immediately bow to him and do his every bidding because of his own past accomplishments in football. That could get very tough if the right franchise is not found with leadership that will tell him to know his role, sit down and shut up.  Adversity does not define everything true but adversity on a football field during a season is minor compared to life adversity I've seen some other players face first hand who came from nothing and are still dealing with issues currently as they make their way through college. Football field adversity does not compare to the real world off the field and out of the locker room adversity some face. You speak as if you may know something on the subject other than what people see on television and read on the internet. What locker rooms have you been involved in or witnessed the everyday play out during the season once the high school level is passed? I have to admit my experience seeing the everyday lives play out at the NFL level is limited to former players who have gone beyond Div. 1 and I only know what is told to me by them when they return to me in off seasons and breaks so I can't fully get an idea at that level. I have however seen a few days at the college level play out and I base my opinion from the very limited I have seen out of Deon in person and yes probably biased a bit after a few of those very limited interactions but it's my opinion determined by what I have seen over the years with my own eyes out of many situations and players rather than my arm chair GM opinion based upon what I read on the internet and the statistics I see on TV. As I said, we shall see once next season plays out but the Panthers are not equipped to handle what will come with Shedur Sanders I personally believe. A team like the Detroit Lions with a coach like Dan Campbell who is not afraid to tell someone to back off, sit down and shut the hell up I could only guess will be needed when Shedur is drafted and that personality will not be needed for Shedur but for daddy.
