<p>My nephew went to NCA&T for engineering. It took him 5 or so years to graduate; maybe more, and he ended up with a math degree rather than engineering. I believe he said it was because they changed some requirements. He graduated about three years ago and is managing to live on his own in Brooklyn.Not sure if it’s considered a "commuter’ school, but he lives in Durham, came home often, then finally moved out of the dorm, and back home in sophmore year. He wasn’t a “dorm kind of kid”. I AM a fan of NCA&T. </p>
<p>My son asked about 3+2 programs at Willamette and Whitworth and was also told by at least the admissions counselor at Willamette, and maybe at both Willamette and Whitworth, that it is rarely completed as planned. Willamette has a 4+2 program, I believe for a BS in Physics, and a Masters in engineering.</p>
