<p>UNC doesn’t have a lot of merit aid available for OOS except for those that are the best of the best. It is a pretty good engineering school but you might learn more about Environmental Science than you will engineering. Check out NC State, they have the best engineering school in the state. Both schools have awesome social lives and UNC athletics are top notch.</p>
<p>I noticed you want to go to grad school. I Know William and Mary isn’t on your list and while the college doesn’t have an engineering major, we have a 3+2 and a 4+2 program with Columbia University where you can get a bachelors in engineering or a masters of engineering at Columbia as long as you maintain a certain GPA. It’s a smaller school (6,000 undergrads), and social life is more similar to Bucknell or Lehigh kind of quirky, parties on weekends, and athletics aren’t as big (However our football team is phenomenal at the FCS level). Finally, Scholarships to OOS are reserved for the best of the best.</p>
<p>Try Virginia Tech They’re the best Engineering school in VA and one of the best in the nation. They give more aid to OOS and they’re nestled in the mountains. Tech has a vibrant social scene and everyone there loves the school. Also, Tech practically worships football.</p>
<p>Sorry I don’t know enough about the others to say much about them! I do know Bucknell and Lehigh are very generous with financial aid</p>
