Great sports facilities, large (but old) libraries, decent Wi-Fi around campus, lots of student run organizations because it is a big school, great research facilities.

Good on campus housing, around $7,400 / year for dorm living. My rent in a house off campus now is $825 a month.

Beautiful school, well known for high academics. Always been a fan of athletics. Diverse campus and high achieving faculty. Great location and a great college town. I have wanted to go here since I was four.

Close to home, a great reputation, hard to get into, really good public policy program, in-state tuition, my friends all went there, unc basketball!!!!, it?s absolutely beautiful, good academics and social stuff.

I lived in a dorm and share a room with one other student in my class. We each pay our portion of the costs and often share amenities. Other students also live in the building with similar dorm rooms to us.

It had a strong reputation for my major and was well known throughout the state. The name is very recognizable throughout the country and has held it?s reputation for a very long time period. The college was also close to home making it easy to visit family often and commute.

It's an in-state school, so it was within my price range, and it's a very prestigious school. It gave me the best value for my education, and it's close to home. I looked at out of state schools, and the quality of education was about the same for double the price.
