Choosing that ideal college is easier said than done. Some folks follow in the footsteps of their mothers and fathers by attending the University they once graduated from. Maybe there's some sort of family tradition going on or a passion for the school athletic team. Either way, you'd better make certain the college has the particular major you're interested in. Clearly without the preferred degree, you'll be wasting a lot of time, money, and effort. On the other hand, it's very understandable to want to attend a college in-state. The tuition is much lower if you actually live there. Keep this in mind when you're applying. If I had to make a recommendation, I'd say check out the southern colleges of North Carolina.
You'll gasp as you step onto the gorgeous green campus of the University of North Carolina. UNC is like home to me. Since I spent most of my life in Chapel Hill, I was able to see this college campus inside and out. I watched it grow, change and empty out for the summers. I saw this school flood with students at the start of each fall semester. Now days I don't get over there as often, but my brother works there full-time. He tells me that he never tires of the rich atmosphere and incomparable scenery. This is one of the finest southern colleges known to man. Michael Jordan didn't go there for nothing.

Of course we women gossip on occasion. But our appetite for it is not as avid as a man’s. It is in the boys’ gyms, the college fraternity houses, the club locker rooms, the paneled offices of business that gossip reaches its luxuriant flower.

As with many Universities, some southern colleges will be difficult to get into. Duke is a private school with a stellar reputation. Maybe you're seeking southern colleges that offer outstanding medical programs. Let me tell you, Duke University is the one for you. I'm not going to sugar-coat it; this is one of the more expensive southern colleges, no doubt. So if you do yearn for an education at this reputable University, I suggest you seek scholarships and financial aid. A common route of many students is to transfer. Start with two years at a community college and later transfer into one of the southern colleges of your choice. Just remember to get a great GPA those first two years. Grades are always an issue. Even after you graduate with that degree.
