This is true - but this isn’t really the question - but I don’t think for the majors, the schools on the list don’t matter.
All get you to the same place - but obviously Wofford is far different than the others.
And I’d say Bama, Auburn, and App State meet the sports parts, etc. best (yes, App above NC State).
PS - OP might want to see - do the schools have, for example, a Washington DC semester study program, etc. Raleigh’s advantage would be - being in the state capital - which may…or may not…provide extra opportunity.
Good luck to OP.
