<p>I highly and I do mean highly recommend looking at NCA&T. It is an HBCU located in Greensboro, NC. It has a long and honorable history of educating some great engineers and leaders. It is a state school with a definite private school approach to education. It has a little over 4000 students and close knit campus.</p>

<p>They have a school of engineering and one of the BEST marching bands in the US…their drum line is fantastic. Their Mech E program is also a very close group and the professors are extremely accesible spending many “office hours” with their students. Any where from 15-20 students per class, no 700 students for a “weed-out” class.</p>

<p>They have a new program/building for those wanting to specialize in nanoscience and nanoengineering, one of the 1st in the country, starts this fall. </p>

<p>Out of all my kiddos attending various schools in the US, NCA&T has the BEST dining hall and meal plan. The BEST, for taste, value, cost, quality…you name it the best.</p>

<p>If you can’t tell, I love, love this school. Best kept secret for engineering schools…and yes this is coming from a mom whose other son was accepted to MIT and Cal tech.</p>

<p>Again, can you tell I love this school? It feels like an small private LAC with the school spirit of a big-time sports school and school pride rivaling an ivy. It is a school laced with tradition and has played an integral part in shaping US history.</p>
