for a public school price), the University yearly sees tough competition for entry into both undergraduate and graduate courses. It boasts notable alumni such as the 11th President of the United States, James Polk, and seven Nobel Peace Prize winners. The University offers over 100 master’s programmes, and more than 70 undergraduate and doctoral courses. Like Duke, the sports life at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is as good as its academics, with teams winning 40 National championships across six different sports.


Lastly, the Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem is renowned


for its quality of teaching, with professors such as Maya Angelou thought of as amongst the best in the country. The small size of this University (over 7,000 students) means that the ratio between students and professors is 11:1, allowing for an enriched education, led by some of the best teachers. In addition, the Law School at Wake Forest University consistently ranks among the top law schools in the USA, counting the Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court among its illustrious alumni.


Many influential people have spoken at Wake Forest, such as Martin Luther King Jr., George H.W Bush and Al Gore.To add


to the prestigious nature already surrounding Wake Forest, it must be noted that it was the South’s first major private university to end segregation in 1962, thus exuding an unstifled and liberal atmosphere that will help young minds to flourish.


This highly-prestigious, but almost underrated University is yet another example of the high quality educational institutions that the state of North Carolina has to offer. From nationally recognised sports teams to liberal progressivism, this in-between state ought to be heralded as one of the go-to destinations for those looking to study in the USA.
