UNC Charlotte

UNC Charlotte does not feel like a satellite campus. With about 20,000 undergraduates, it offers seventy seven undergraduate majors, including Graphic Design, Mathematics, Computer Science, Business, and Fire Services Administration. It is relatively easy to gain admission to UNC Charlotte, which admits about 80% of applicants. UNC Charlotte reminded me of James Madison in Virginia. It's a large accessible state school that provides an affordable education in a lovely setting.  In-state students pay only @ $22,000, and out-of-state COA is a very reasonable $36,000. UNC Charlotte is primarily a regional university, with only 2% international and 7% out-of-state students.
