Any of you guys go to NC State?

Thinking about transferring there in a couple years. Is it a good college? How are the classes? social environment? females ?

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.

My brother is having a blast. I can't speak first hand, but he does seem to have plenty of ladies at his parties.

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

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.
