NC State freshman wants to transfer after 1st semester...any ideas?

<p>Hi! I am the mom of an NC STate freshman who wants to transfer after his first semester. He is not homesick and is doing well academically. He is from out of state and says that many kids go home on weekends and that there is not much, on campus, for kids to do. Talley closes early on weekends as do the food places in Talley. Hillsborough Street really doesn't have many eating places the kids would congregate to meet at. The bowling alley is fun but kids more or less go there in their groups of friends not really to meet other people. He is not interested in Greek life. He is athletic and has joined some of the intramural sports.</p>

<p>He is looking to transfer to University of South Carolina or the University of Maryland. He is interested in engineering.</p>

<p>First, any NC State students who can say what underaged kids do on the weekends?</p>

<p>Second, any comments on the other two campuses?</p>

<p>Any suggestions, ideas would be helpful. Thanks!</p>
