Shew this will be tough because I have experience with all of these schools in one way or another. Some I considered transferring too at some point others I have friends that I grew up with go there.
First the big ones. UNC was a beautiful place (went to both UNC/Duke when I was in 8th grade as well as the science museum and the capital building and got to see the house/senate.) It was big and decent sized with Wendy's and some fast food places. I just didn't feel right there. It felt like a preppy rich place and somewhat sketchy. UNC's athletic places while finely designed they were both kind of lame imo.
Duke was gorgeous though. There athletic places were sweet (as was UNC's, but Duke wins here,) and their Football field was cool. However it got ruined by Coach K being a dick. He kicked us out because we made a tiny bit of noise we weren't even talking loud. But besides that I liked their buildings and atmosphere. It's just impossible for me to go
Tuition is ridiculous and you cannot transfer there with community college credits. Both them and Wake Forrest deny your credits and you have to stay for 4 years if you want a bachelors.
NC State I despise because of what happened with my friends that went there. They were decent sociable people when we graduated high school and now they are toolish zombies. IDK if it's just them but it's really odd they go to that place one personality type and come back another. The few people I met from there are tools, so it may be something in the water. I do cheer for them in sports though but people wise they strike out.
ECU's an awesome place it's just so far away from where I live. It's a good haul down to there and UNC Wilmington. ECU I prefer out of the two because it's own unique school. I know a few friends who went there and they loved it and never sold out. Beautiful place and fine programs. I'm considering it for my college professor license program through their online system. They get props for offering a lot of programs distance and online.
NC Central IDK much about besides their football team tried to recruit some of my buddies but they were lacking on scholarships. Campbell is an awesome school two of my best friends play football there. They get a lot of quality athletes. If they weren't so high tuition wise and so far I'd probably transfer there. It's in a swampy place too so - there. Elon is a wanna be Duke and Wake Forrest. Not a bad school location/beauty wise and they have a solid history/poly scy department but they charge too much imo and their admission policy is silly. You have to write at least two admission essays that are two pages each and maybe 1 to 2 more. I can't afford the tuition rate there.
So I'll go with ECU here just for a why not pick. It feels like a fine school if the conditions were right I'd be going there for my bachelor's but I'll wait for maybe my master's.
I know a lot more about the western NC schools though so I'm psyched for that.
