<p>Just to put this in perspective- when we visit N.C., mention “Villanova” and many will give you a blank stare. Around here (N.J.), half my son’s school applied. It is all relative, folks. Except for the Ivy league schools, it all depends on where you are in the country. My son is going to Wake because it offers everything he wants in a smaller package. He does not care who in our “all-knowing” area of N.J knows of it, as a matter of fact, he relishes going somewhere different. Maybe he is a “little rebel”! The fit was right. (And he LOVES their basketball team! :)) GO DEMON DEACONS!!</p>
