I am an Alum. Gragiated in 1980. Things have changed alot since I was there. Not much to do in Buies Creek. Always had to go to Raleighwood for drinking and cavoorting....Fighting Camels even have a footbal team now...
have a few friends with kids that are currently enrolled and seem to be really
happy. Both are involved in Golf, one on scholarship and one in the PGM program. (Professional Golf Management). Oh, I almost forgot my dentist has a son in the School of Pharmacy and the fellow who built my house has a son in the law school. Shucks, I guess I do know alot of people there. If I can be of assistance in any way, let me know. Congrats John on the scholarship!!!!

Thanks for the input. I had heard about their Pharm and Law programs, neither of which she is interested in (at least this week).....

The part about Buies Creek being boring doesn't bother me at all.....

It's a dry campus... Town... Or whatever.

That may be a good thing.

The only thing I have to offer is an old joke told to me by a Campbell law grad:

Me: Where did you get your law degree?
Him: UCLA.
Me: Really? You don't seem like a west coast guy.
Him: UCLA - University of Campbell between La Grange and Angier.
Me: OK, that makes more sense!

Actually Jim its ....Lillington and Angier.....

haaahaa! I like that...


actually, I think that's the policy with most all schools these days.. we know how that story ends....

You'll have to argue that with the UCLA grad!

The only reason I'm 100% sure he said La Grange was the fact that I happened to be learning the guitar part from the song by a little bar band from Texas at the time.

ranked 37th in the USNWR rating of Southeastern regional Schools. Baptist, likely explains the dry campus situation.

Moved the Law School to Raleigh, which is a good thing. My neighbor and golfing buddy is general counsel for a regional commercial real estate company, and tried to make overtures to them regarding forming law student internships for Campbell students. He walks in, introduces himself and was politely rebuffed and asked to return when he has an appointment. Obviously, this is not a good way to introduce a new law school to the business/law community, as he has had the opportunity to tell this story to every attorney he knows (a lot, including his wife who is a partner in one of the bigger law firms in town.)

Congrats on the scholarship, though. That's a big win!

BTW, pharmacy may seem boring but it pays well and is very interesting.

okay, here's why I ask:
She is likely going to need a PhD. for her field (if she stays with it, which I know is not a certainty), which means a lot of school, which means a lot of $$$. How important is where you got your BS in the larger picture?

Obviously, if you know me, you also know I have no experience or knowledge in the PhD area, but plenty in the BS dept......

Congrats on your daughter getting the scholarship - I hope she does very well there!

Hopefully she won't run afoul of any McDonalds down there. My ancestors farmed the land where the school stands from about 1812 to about 1850
