Yes, Davidson is another to see, near Lake Norman, so there must be rowing ( check as I don’t know much about rowing). Excellent academics, great school, close the Charlotte for access to a major city ( and airport)
Lbad96- I don’t want to disappoint you, but once you have had NY bagels, anything near UNCW is not going to be even close. However, if you like BBQ, you can find some of the best in NC.
