I am a Biological Sciences major, and minoring in health, medicine, and human values (one minor). I am not just saying this because I am in CALS but it is the BEST. The faculty will help you get where you want to go (internships, study abroad, research) and we have sooo much funding in our department. Bio is a very difficult major at State b/c you are with so many pre-med students (such as myself) but I have learned A LOT already. The labs are VERY intensive. We usually do a few disections each lab, analyze cell samples in animal blood, DNA analysis, etc. There is also a common belief that CALS has all the money and that is why we get so much free stuff (t-shirts, bottles, food, fun events, etc.) Go State, go CALS, forget Carolina - I am glad I did.

Also, for the hall style, get on east campus if you can. They have the BEST halls. I am in Sullivan (west campus) and it looks old and dirty. My fav residence hall is avent ferry (have own bathroom, is big, and looks nice) but it is further away than most halls - BUT, there is a bus that shuttles every 5 minutes in the morning so you don’t have to walk the extra quarter of a mile each day. Also consider any of the Quads.
