Everybody needs a cheerleader, someone in their corner that will defend them and remind everyone why they are the best. The same can be said for North Carolina colleges and universities, most of which have actual cheerleaders, but nonetheless deserve some help in hyping themselves up. For that reason, I have created below a list of arguments for each North Carolina college on why they are the best in the state. Enjoy.
Appalachian State University: That’s right, besides having the most baja jackets in the country per capita, they also get to wake up on a mountain. East Carolina University: They are located in the best Greenville in the Carolinas, and in addition to that, Mr. Beast lives here, so odds are you will get some free stuff. Elizabeth City State University: Home to the only four-year aviation science degree program in North Carolina. Enough said. Fayetteville State University: Blueface went there, that’s about as good as you can get in terms of famous alumni. North Carolina A&T University: The university of the Greensboro Four, this school got to be a part of a historical moment in the civil rights movement. Also they were too good to stay in the MEAC. North Carolina Central University: It’s in the name. They are the center of the state, and therefore the best. If you like community service, NCCU was thefirst UNC-system school to require community service to graduate. North Carolina State University: The biggest college in the state surely has to be the best college in the state, and if the enrollment numbers aren’t big enough, their mascot is not just one wolf, but a pack of them. University of North Carolina at Asheville: The only university in the coolest city in the state, and they get to wake up to the mountains too. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: Only the G.O.A.T. basketball player Michael Jordan could go to the G.O.A.T North Carolina university, and that takes precedence over a former president going there. University of North Carolina at Charlotte: There are only five words needed: Regional Banking Capital of America. Also the fastest growing university in North Carolina. University of North Carolina at Greensboro: DaBaby spending two years at UNCG would be enough to put them at the top, but also having a tradition where the word rock is misspelled puts them even higher. University of North Carolina at Pembroke: Hail to UNCP is an absolute banger. University of North Carolina Wilmington: Oh yeah, they are only located 6 minutes away from the beach, and oh yeah, their main school color is teal. University of North Carolina School of the Arts: Without a doubt this school contains the most famous alumni list, seriously, it is a crazy list. Western Carolina University: As they say in California, West is Best, and that remains true for the only North Carolina college with Western in the name. Winston-Salem State University: The first historically black college to win the NCAA Basketball championship. Barton College: Student faculty rate of 12:1 means that a student here will be getting to know their teachers. Belmont Abbey College: Their newspaper name is the Crusader, and I call upon anyone to find a college newspaper name cooler than that. Bennett College: People may hype up the Greensboro Four, but do not forget the Bennett Belles, which is a far better name considering the alliteration. Brevard College: Since Brevard is located in Transylvania county, I would argue they are the best college out of fear that a vampire will kill me if I say otherwise. Catawba College: Their nickname the “Catawba Indians” is approved by the Catawba Indian Nation, and because of that the college stands as a visionary, doing something the Washington Football team could never accomplish. Davidson College: https://youtu.be/TGQID66agH4 Gardner-Webb University: They invented Pancake Bingo, can any other NC college say that? Greensboro College: The mascot for Greensboro College is “The Pride”, which doubles as a group of lions and one of the seven deadly sins. Pretty metal, I know. Guilford College: Alma Mater to the coolest name in the history of professional sports, World B. Free, a name that is even cooler considering the Quaker roots of the school. High Point University: The most luxurious school on this list, and it is not even close. I mean, how many colleges can say they have a steakhouse with live music on campus? Lees-Mcrae College: One of the only colleges to be named after two women, and the college used to accept livestock to pay for tuition. Lenoir-Rhyne University: They have both a male and female mascot, so the school is truly progressive. The school also has what is believed to be the largest Martin Luther statue in the world. Mars Hill University: A university you can attend and then tell people you went to Mars. Meredith College: The first female university to adopt a campus-wide laptop program. Montreat College: To quote Emilie Miller Vaughn: "I wish I could tell you of the scenery around here and at the retreat. People who have traveled say it is only equaled by Switzerland". I have no idea if that is true, but I am choosing to believe it. North Carolina Wesleyan College: The yearbook name for North Carolina Wesleyan College is The Dissenter, and for some reason that just makes the school a cut above the rest in my book. Salem College: The oldest women’s college in the United States, and everyone should respect their elders. University of Mount Olive: Have you ever eaten an olive? One of the more underrated snack foods, and I choose to believe there is correlation between that and this university. Since it is the only university located in Mount Olive, it seems no other school listed can make such claims. Warren Wilson College: Work builds character, and at Warren Wilson College, every student has to work on campus to graduate, meaning that the school is filled to the brim with character. William Peace University: A school with peace in the name deserves great recognition, even if it was just the name of the founder of the university, and he luckily made sure that the school would be located in downtown Raleigh, one of the most lively areas in the state. Campbell University: When you attend this school, it is hump day everyday, and you do not have to worry about being surrounded by people not from North Carolina, because Campbell enrolls more North Carolinians than any other private institution in the country. Carolina University: Carolina University did not feel the need to subcategorize itself by having its name contain the location of the school. No, Carolina University is so confident in their abilities as an academic institution, that they define themselves as THE Carolina University. Chowan University: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed only attended the school for one semester, so it's safe to say that his values and the university’s values did not align. Duke University: The only school in the state that people across the country believe is an Ivy League member. Elon University: The school’s colors are maroon, and gold? That is just too exquisite and fancy to not make this a premier university. Not to mention their mascot is a phoenix, and real or not, those things are powerful. Johnson C. Smith University: Not one, but two Harlem Globetrotters attended Johnson C. Smith, and their nicknames were great to boot, that being Twiggy and Curly. Johnson and Wales University: This university is the only college in North Carolina to have its main campus be in Rhode Island. Livingstone College: There has never been a “living stone”, but Livingstone College gives me hope that one day there may be one, and if there is one, odds are it will be at this campus. In terms of real arguments, the school has produced three firsts: First African-American neurosurgeon, first African-American President of the National Education Association, and the first African-American mayor of Salisbury. Methodist University: A man by the name Chip Dicks attended Methodist University; that is simply breathtaking. Mid-Atlantic Christian University: North Carolina is not even in the Mid-Atlantic, but the effort is greatly appreciated and noted. Pfeiffer University: The nickname of the school is the Falcons, which might not be an alliteration, but ingeniously utilizes the “f” sounding Pfeiffer to make you think it is alliterated. And if that isn’t enough, the mascot is named Freddie, which boosts points in the alliteration department. Queens University of Charlotte: Since no Kings University exists in North Carolina, by default the Queen is the highest authority. St. Andrews University: The university could have easily made a mistake and called it St. Andrew’s University, but they smartly avoided that pitfall, showcasing some great insight and critical-thinking. St. Augustine’s University: This university could have easily made a mistake and called it St. Augustine University, but they smartly avoided that pitfall, showcasing some great insight and critical-thinking. Shaw University: One of Shaw University’s school colors is garnet, and that distinction they chose instead of settling with maroon or dark red is impressive. Wake Forest University: A test-optional school, which makes up for their participation in the National athletic scandal in 2019. Wingate University: Mascots are important, and respecting them is even more important. That is why Wingate University is the best college in North Carolina, because they gave their mascot a full, christian name: Victor E. Bulldog. What the E stands for, we may never know. Every school listed clearly has a well-defined and thought out argument for why they are the best college in North Carolina. Every argument is equal in terms of weight and importance, and at no point are the claims made sarcastic, intentionally witty, or humorous. In all seriousness, North Carolina houses an incredibly diverse college education system with some of the best schools in the world, and you cannot go wrong with these appreciable options. ● The Recommended Content Widget will appear here on the published site.

The Weekly Roundup Podcast | Episode 4: The Biggest Stories of This Year and What's to Come5/2/2021 Featuring Thomas Gessner, Lucas Thomae and Owen Sizemore
NC College Beat has revamped the weekly roundup from the fall, providing regular updates on happenings within the universities and colleges of North Carolina through our new podcast hosted by Staff Writer Thomas Gessner. Listen to our episode using the audio player above or check out the episode notes below.
1. Fall return-to-campus plans across the UNC System. Schools like UNC Charlotte have already outlined specific goals and guidelines for what life will look like on their campus this fall, including full-capacity facilities and a majority of classes held in-person. Other schools, like UNC Chapel Hill, NC State, and East Carolina University share these sentiments but have yet to unveil their full plans for next semester. 2. Governor Roy Cooper lifts the mask mandate for socially-distant vaccinated people outdoors. The announcement made last Wednesday will now allow those who are fully vaccinated to go maskless at outdoor public spaces and events provided that they still maintain social distancing guidelines. This change is likely the first of many restrictions to be eased in advance of the summer and the start of a new academic year around the corner. (Further reading from WWAY3) 3. Where are students living in the fall? Many first-year college students, with either limited or no experience living on their respective campuses, are compelled to search for off-campus living that may be cheaper or offer more amenities than the standard dorms. It is up to universities and colleges across the state to create strong incentive packages to convince more students to make their way back to on-campus living. 4. College sports of the past and future. The North Carolina college basketball scene has seen some dramatic changes over recent months, including the departure of UNC Chapel Hill's Roy Williams and UNCG's Wes Miller. This fall, sporting events are expected to welcome back significantly more fans through expanded capacity in indoor and outdoor stadiums and arenas. ● The Recommended Content Widget will appear here on the published site.

With teams finally playing in their respective conference tournaments, the regular season has come to an end as March Madness begins. Some teams will rise to the occasion and others will see their seasons fizzle out as they fight to earn limited spots in the big dance.
Punched Their Ticket UNC Greensboro (SoCon Tournament Champions) On Monday, UNCG pulled off the rare sweep in three meetings against a hungry Mercer team to win the SoCon tournament and cement a spot in the NCAA tournament. The Spartans will not be a particularly high seed, but the squad led by senior guard Isaiah Miller -- a two-time SoCon Player of the Year -- certainly has upset potential and should not be underrated. Appalachian State (Sun Belt Tournament Champions) Seemingly out of nowhere, the 4-seed Appalachian State took home the Sun Belt Championship on Monday, beating top-seeded Georgia State. With that victory, the Mountaineers secured a bid to participate in the NCAA tournament, their first appearance in over twenty years. The team was not expected to make it this far, and while they will surely be a very low seed, they’ve already proved that anything can happen. Still In The Hunt UNC Chapel Hill (6th Seed, ACC Tournament) The Tar Heels won handily on Wednesday night against the lower seeded Notre Dame in the second round of the ACC tournament. While UNC finished the season strong and are in good position for a March Madness placement, every win in the ACC tournament helps, and now they look forward to a matchup against the three-seed Virginia Tech. North Carolina A&T (1st Seed, MEAC Tournament) North Carolina A&T holds a top-seed in the MEAC, with their first game on Friday against the winner of Norfolk State vs. NC Central. The Aggies have a solid chance to win it all and punch a ticket to March Madness, which would be their first appearance since 2013, an accomplishment on its own. North Carolina Central (3rd Seed, MEAC Tournament) NC Central is a three-seed in a weak MEAC, and they will get to play Norfolk State in the second round of the tournament on Thursday. If they win that game, they will have to face fellow North Carolina team NC A&T, who defeated the Eagles in both of their regular season matchups. Duke (10th Seed, ACC Tournament) Duke would need to win the ACC tournament to get into the NCAA tournament, and while that seemed highly unlikely, especially after the crushing loss to UNC to close the season, they’ve had very impressive victories against Boston College and Louisville. Their postseason run could run into a wall when the Blue Devils play the Florida State Seminoles on Thursday, however. East Carolina (11th Seed, AAC Tournament) On Thursday, East Carolina will be facing six-seed Central Florida, who they previously lost to by just four points. ECU no stranger to pulling off upsets, after defeating then-No. 5 Houston in February, but the Pirates aren’t playing for much other than being a spoiler team. Season’s All But Over North Carolina State (Second Round Exit, ACC Tournament) The Wolf Pack was utterly destroyed by Syracuse on Wednesday in an unexpectedly lopsided 31-point defeat. This is a sad way for NC State’s season to end, but an ending nonetheless. Campbell (Big South Tournament Runner-Ups) Campbell was not able to take home gold in the Big South tournament, losing in the championship to Winthrop by 27 points. The Fighting Camels upset higher-seeded Radford to make the final round, and that is an impressive feat in itself considering their slower start to the season and the competitive conference. Wake Forest (First Round Exit, ACC Tournament) Wake Forest lost in one of the worst ways on Tuesday, falling to a buzzer-beating three-pointer from Notre Dame in the first round of the ACC tournament, marking a frustrating but poetic end to the Demon Deacons’ season. Gardner-Webb (Second Round Exit, Big South Tournament) Gardner-Webb’s season ended their season on Monday with a six-point loss to a superior Campbell team in what was an expected outcome, but it was still a close enough game to keep Bulldog fans excited up until the end. Western Carolina (First Round Exit, SoCon Tournament) Western Carolina and the Citadel decided not to play defense in their first round matchup last Friday, with WCU losing by 14 points in a 100-86 game. That lack of defensive effort, combined with the inability to outscore opponents, sums up the Catamount’s season. Davidson (Semi-Finalists, Atlantic 10 Tournament) Davidson’s season came to a close in the second round against the talented VCU Rams on Saturday, marking the end of the team’s up and down season. However, Wildcat senior Kellan Grady being named to the All-Conference First Team is something to be proud of. UNC Asheville (Second Round Exit, Big South Tournament) Asheville disappointed in the first round of the Big South tournament, losing to the lower seeded Longwood by 16 points, marking an end to an inconsistent season. UNC Wilmington (First Round Exit, CAA Tournament) Wilmington lost to William and Mary, another unimpressive team, in the first round of the CAA Tournament on Saturday. High Point (Second Round Exit, Big South Tournament) While High Point was able to make it to the second round of the Big South Tournament, they had to face a dominant Winthrop team that would eventually win it all and punch their tickets to the NCAA Tournament. Elon (CAA Tournament Runner-Ups) Elon almost pulled off a Cinderella moment in the CAA Tournament, winning three straight games as the eight-seed to make it all the way to the finals, where they fell to another unlikely team, the Drexel Dragons. It is a fun way to end the season for the Phoenix, after a dismal regular season lagged by COVID-19 cancellations. UNC Charlotte (5th Seed, CUSA Tournament) Charlotte lost by ten points to UTSA on Wednesday, bringing their disappointing season to an end after going just 9-16. ● The Recommended Content Widget will appear here on the published site.
