fflmaster, I hope I did not sound to overly negative in the last post. It is simply my observations regarding security over the past few years.

I would add that the rest of your observations during the Open House were spot-on. NC State has fantastic facilities, even the older buildings serve there purpose well…with the exception of horrible Harrelson Hall, which is thankfully coming down this next year . Your best insight was that NCSU is a low-key campus. And you are right, we found the same to be true. The student body is less up-tight, more relaxed than many other selective schools, of which I would put NC State today. After Freshman year, alot of students are studying Friday and Saturday. Decades ago it may have been a “safety” school, but not any more. From personal experience, I can say that the Colleges of Design and Engineering are some the hardest to get in, and stay in, in the Southeast.
