<p>My daughter is a junior in college, and I was sure that she picked the wrong school, but she proved me wrong. We live in Raleigh, where NC State is located. I wanted her to experience life outside the city where she grew up, so I was totally disappointed that she turned down Villanova in PA. Three years later, she is doing fantastically well, is a TA for engineering 101, and loves her school and sorority. I thought we see her all the time, but she only comes home for Thanksgiving, Christmas and summer vacation. And think of the money we saved by going to a state school!</p>
