UNC or NC State?

College Search & Selection

It is 12:19 AM on May 1st and I officially have less than 24 hours to pick a college, so pleeeease help me.

I’m going for comp-sci but I intend to start out pre-med as well. If I decide I am head over heels in love with the med route I may change my major to something easier/more medically related, or vice versa with comp-sci.

My big things for UNC are it has a better comp-sci and pre-med program. 2 extremely important factors, I know. However, my draws at NC State are that it may be easier to get into UNC medical school if I’m not coming from UNC (is this true?) and I think the dorm setup at NC State is a lot better than UNC (I really want to live in the Engineering Village - does anyone know anything about that? How hard is that to get into?).

DONE JUDGE ME, but my other major draw to NC State is the gender split - 55/45 guys to girls, while UNC is closer to 60/40 girls to guys. I’m not saying this because I’m necessarily looking to date, I was just in an all-girl friend group in high school with my guy friends scattered across other friend groups, and the girls drove me crazy. I would really prefer to be in a nice, normal, co-ed friend group in college. Any advice?

Thanks for the help in advance - god knows I need it.

My other big draws to NC State were that it may be easier to keep a high GPA (true? not true?) and it feels better to me than being on a liberal arts campus - less theory in my classes and more actual mathematics/programming/etc.

If you like hanging out with male computer science people won’t CS classes be mostly male at UNC and NC State? Outside of class there will be a big difference.
