So I have applied to NC state as I know it’s the best for Computer science. If I don’t get in I will have to choose between ECU, UNCC, or UNCW. Which of these would be best?
UNCW would certainly be the best out of the other three for compsci. No question.
UNCW would be my recommendation as well. Way down on the list would be ECU but it is very easy to get into.
UNCW
UNCC
ECU
You may find that the student body at UNCC is more “computer science-y” than W, but W is still a much better choice in my mind.
I’ll also advise you to look into the atmospheres of all the schools. While you’ll get a good education at all of the schools, ECU, UNCW and UNCC all have very different feelings at their campus and you want to make sure you’ll choose a college that you would feel comfortable at.
