<p>Hey all, I just started NC State this Fall as a sophomore in Civil Engineering and I really dont think I'm too satisfied. I got started at a local CC near NC State where I had to make the decision between NC State and Virginia Tech. Here is my views on both schools:</p>
<p>NC State </p>
<br>
<p>pros: GREAT engineering dept, less than an hour from family,...idk what else. cons: Too cramped, unfriendly people, homeless people everywhere, school looks like garbage, not much else to do for fun other than partying</p>
<br>
<p>Virginia Tech:</p>
<br>
<p>pros: even greater engineering dept, beautiful campus, nice town, awesome outdoor recreation, everyone from high school goes there cons: 4 hrs from home...thats it. </p>
<br>
<p>The only reason I guess I'm here at NC State is the whole family tradition and expectations story. I don't know whether or not I should pack up again and transfer to VT. Is transferring more than once too many times? Should I just stay? Is this just my A.D.D.? Any opinions would be great.</p>
