Something is wrong with your education system if the brightest kids you're churning out are settling for a small state school.

agreed, although my high school wasn't really that small (around 2k kids), and like mass, the state universities in nc are decent and very cheap. it's relatively rare for nc residents to go to someplace like duke for this reason. one of my best friends went to ncsu, and then went on to stanford for his phd. he was probably the smartest dude in my graduating class.
