<p>I applied as a junior year transfer student to North Carolina State University and University of North Carolina at Charlotte for their Mechanical Engineering program as a first choice and Chemical Engineering as a second. My problem is I got accepted at both schools, but for different majors. I got accepted to UNCC into their Mechanical Engineering program and NCSU into their Chemical Engineering program. I am torn between the two. Obviously I enjoy both major materials very much. I think my biggest concern would be what school is going to provide the most hands on and in depth education for either major. I am also torn between which major to go with, I know that ChemE make a bit higher salary than mechanical, but I also contemplate the wide field I can go into with MechE. I would like to focus on energy or oil and petroleum, so either major makes sense. The salary is not a huge deal I just want something that I will enjoy doing. </p>
<p>I have also heard many horror stories coming out of NCSU's chemistry department that worries me a bit. Any stories from either University would be greatly appreciated. I feel that UNCC will be more personable and have smaller classes than NCSU, But that NCSU carries more weight on a resume.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the help in advance!</p>
