If you live in NC it is the best choice hands down. Unc is an awful school unless you are a liberal.

Question
I hate this place!!! I fell in loveBrightBiology
I hate this place!!! I fell in love with State, I spent a day at State they seemed to have a great program in Environmental Science. I started early in the summer of 07, and it was horrible I began to learn very quickly why so many people hate this place. 1st off the housing, I stayed in Bragaw located on West Campus, the building looked nice from the housing website, but once I got their it looked like shit!!! The room had 2 different types of brick walls, the ceiling was falling apart and 3 different types of tiling, and the place was pretty nasty! For the price it was not wroth it.. Dining sucked also, they had their own time, most of the food you couldn't even say the name, it was either over cooked or under cooked, and the staff was mean ass hell, ghetto, PMS, or going through menopause. Academics, ooo boy talk about waste in money!!! my chem teacher confused me, she had the highest rate of failing students, my math teacher was MIA the class was on DVD, and she was always at the beach!!! BIO most of the students are failing because the teacher came to state to do research and didn't want to teach the class in the first place. The campus is just plain ugly, too many bricks, I feel like I am up north some ware with all of the construction, u will get sick of things breaking down, my new dorm has 9 floors and the evaluator is always broke, the AC broke 2 days before exams, and the most fun of all fire alarms!!! All the dorms on campus have problems with fire alarms, in Carroll hall we had 5 alarms within 24 hours one at 4:30am and another at 10:00am in freezing rain. State has about 15 different types of engineering majors and they cant fix this problem ?? The staff @ state I must say I love the people in Harris Hall NOTT,,, Everyone I know has problems with these people, each on can tell you a million things just to get you out of their face. The cost of everything is not wroth it... college is suppose to be the best years of your life but not here welcome to the gates of hell!! look at other schools like UNC (that is were i am transferring go heels!!, Duke, Wake Forest, Elon
