I am from NYC I visited Charlotte (Mecklenburg) and I loved it. Is it a good place to raise a family?
I was in Charlotte, NC (Mecklenburg) for a week and I loved it. The homes were in sub communities at a reasonable price. In comparison to NYC the pace was much slower and the people just seem genuine. I work in the financial services industry and I feel confidant that finding a job in my field would not be a problem. My wife is in the process of finishing her LPN program. However, before making any hasty moves I would like to know what am I to expect if I decide to move there. After all I have three kids (ages 5, 8, 10) and would like some feed back on how are the schools in Mecklenburg? What area would be a good place to live? How are the race relations (I am Haitian-American)? And what are the drawbacks of leaving a city like New York to go to North Carolina? Thanks for your response!

As a North Carolina native, I can tell you that your first impression was correct. Charlotte is a great town. There is another city nearby that I would suggest, however. Cary, NC. Cary ranks 5th on Money Magazine's 10 best cities in The USA.

I like the are myself and I use to live in Newton,NC that's 50 miles away from Charlotte and from all I know, have seen and heard, Charlotte area is good place to find work and to raise a family...like many Southern towns racial problems do arise just like in other big cities. The city doesn't rank well in the crime area(http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bplive/2006/snapshots/PL3712000.html) --- high crime record. The city ranked Number 5. of the best places to live isn't too far away... the city of Cary,NC scored very well as a great place to live, work, raise family and has nice schools too.

You could get the stats about anything you want to know about any city in the world online and base your move on that information but to know first-hand from the people who actually live(d) in the area would probably be worth much more to you in the end. Like any other place you choose to investigate, you will find each has its good and bad points. You will find that when you are in NC visiting, what you see REALLY is what you get. We aren't a people who "pretend" too much about anything. When we tell you and your family to "come see us sometime", we really mean it (and expect it). People in NC generally are genuinely accepting of others no matter where they are from or what their cultures may be. Once you are moved into the area, don't be surprised if you are invited to a backyard BBQ or a pig-picking. NC moves at a slower pace than NYC but it's not in a bad way. We don't rush through this life because most of us have had to go through hardships and have learned to appreciate life more. We take the time to smell the flowers, speak to and get to know the people around us, life is way too short to speed through it and not enjoy God's wonders around us. In the state you can find almost anything you would like to do within just a few hours driving. I always liked being within 4 hours or less from the beaches or the mountains. I am originally from Winston Salem, NC. I moved away about 3 years ago to a very small town in TN and am planning to be back in NC within the next 2 years. The old saying "there's no place like home" rings true with me. I miss the people, the places and everything about NC. I left but until then, I took it all for granted. It is where my heart is and will always be.

What do you think Too Many 'Non-Criminal' Illegals Deported, Leftists Say?
What do you think Too Many 'Non-Criminal' Illegals Deported, Leftists Say?
Left-wing activists are upset that the U.S. Government is deporting too many illegal immigrants who don’t have “serious†criminal records, the Miami Herald reports. “Few deported aliens have serious criminal records, activists say,†ran the headline in the paper. Question is, what do the activists and the Herald consider a “few� The number apparently hovers at about 40,000. According to the paper, the Secure Communities program of Immigration and Custom Enforcement “has identified more than 262,900 foreign nationals in jails and prisons who have been charged with or convicted of criminal offenses, including more than 39,000 charged with or convicted of major violent or drug offenses.… [T]he program led to the deportation of more than 34,600 convicted criminal foreigners, including more than 9,800 convicted of major violent or drug offenses.†Secure Communities, via ICE's 287(g) program, permits local police agencies to check a suspect’s fingerprints against a federal database containing those of criminal aliens, and the leftist Center for Constitutional Rights isn’t happy about it. With the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York, it analyzed ICE documents. The group, the Herald reports, “says that the majority or 79 percent of people deported in connection to Secure Communities were non-criminals or had been picked up by local police for relatively minor offenses including traffic violations or petty juvenile mischief.†It cited the tearful case of “a mother of two beautiful young U.S. citizen children who was deported last year. She was stopped by a ... police officer returning from taking her children to school and charged with no valid driver license. As a result of Secure Communities, an immigration hold was placed on her and she was deported, leaving her two young children, without their mother, in the care of relatives.'' She was, of course, breaking the law by driving without a driver’s license. As The New American has reported before, unlicensed illegal alien drivers are a terrifying menace on American roads. As well, the program is catching dangerous criminals. Just days ago, North Carolina's Charlotte Observer reported, thanks to Secure Communities police learned that a suspect who raped two children was an illegal Ecuadoran. According to McClatchy News Service, Secure Communities is now working with nearly 500 jails in 27 states and expects to be operating across the country in 2013. The program is important because illegal alien criminals use aliases and fake identification to escape the law after they have been arrested, deported and re-entered the country. One example is Jose Lopez Madrigal, who was deported nine times before the authorities collared him on a rape charge. In May, KING5 TV in Edmonds Wash., reported the shocking details of Mexican illegal‘s criminal career: [L]earning his identity took much longer because of some 30 aliases. It was only through fingerprints that they identified him as Madrigal, a Mexican citizen. Madrigal's arrest and immigration record includes a staggering number of contacts with law enforcement since 1989. That's the year he was convicted of theft using a firearm in California. He was deported a couple of times after that. Then in 1999, he was arrested for drug sales in both San Diego and San Francisco. Records show that he was deported three times that year between April and August. He was arrested for drugs again in Stockton, Calif. in 2000. In 2002, he pleaded to third degree sexual assault in Denver. Later that year, he was deported again. And in 2003, records show he was deported three more times. Others like Madrigal, of course, are still at large, waiting to rape and kill. http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/immigration/4326-too-many-non-criminal-illegals-deported-leftists-say

Which degree is worth more?
Which degree is worth more?
i want to major in International Business and im looking at going to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) or University of NC at Wilmington (UNCW). out of the two schools, which one's degree is worth more?

Neither. If both are bachelors degrees, they weigh the same. If you are asking which university would get you the most attention, then it really depends on you. Regardless of what university you attend, what you get out of the education and the degree ultimately depends on you. If you got your degree at one university and only went to and from class and added nothing to the university while someone else was involved in student government and started a recycling program for the university, then an employeer would look at the two of you very differently. Hope that helps!

Am I aiming too high with the colleges I am applying to?
Am I aiming too high with the colleges I am applying to?
Alright so I am a junior in high school, and I am in the International Baccalaureate (International Honors Program) program at my high school, and I have always been in honors courses. Currently my GPA is 3.14 and my weighted GPA is 3.86. SAT scores are not determined yet but I will probably get someone around 1900 - 2100. (Hopefully) I am very active in my school community and have many leadership roles. I am My Class Vice President and next in line for School President I am an editor of my school newspaper I have done Student Government on a county level and participated on the county level Executive Board I have been in all of my schools plays and musicals and I am founder and president of my schools Community and Service Club. (Those are only my leadership role, I participate in many more clubs and activities along with that) I am also African American Many of the colleges that I am aiming for are known at top universities, and I am not sure if my GPA is so bad that it would prevent me from getting into these schools regardless of my Extra Curricular Activities. What do you think? Should I aim lower? Colleges I am applying to: - University of Maryland - Georgetown University - University of Virginia - Penn State University - Tulane University - University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill - University of North Caroline at Wilmington - University of North Carolina at Charlotte - University of North Carolina at Greensboro - University of California- Berkeley - University of Southern California - Northeastern University - Boston University - Princeton University - Cornell University - University of Chicago - Duke University - University of Michigan

Your not aiming to high, no!

I dont think you can ever aim too high, especially as an african american. Never aim lower.
3 :
IMO, you've got a good selection of schools on your list. Some that are reaches, but not impossible - Georgetown is an example. Some, IMO, that are perhaps very good fits - Tulane, Northeastern. And some that could be potential backups - UNC Wilmington as example. Once you take the SAT, continue to look at schools in that way. Make sure you have some reaches - where you love the school, but your SAT/GPA is perhaps low for them. Some fits, where your SAT/GPA are right in their ranges. And some backups, where your SAT/GPA is maybe a bit high for them.
4 :
You have amazing extracurriculars; if you get that SAT score that's great. Your GPA is decent. Some of those schools are definitely stretches--namely Princeton, Cornell, Chicago,Berkeley and Duke. You have a really good list of safeties, reaches and matches, though (the UNC schools, except for Chapel Hill, are all good safeties)
5 :
Like my mom always used to say (though to be fair, she was quoting someone!), "make THEM tell you no"... i.e throw your hat in the ring and don't assume failure. You're a great student, with super activities, and I'd be willing to bet you get into at least half of these schools. It won't be just because you're African American - my kid is Mexican and she was concerned that her acceptances might be due to that, but the truth is, no school can afford to accept students who they don't think can do the work. You will get into a great school, because you earned it. Aim high.
6 :
You can never aim too high. You miss all of the shots you don't take. I think you could narrow down your list though. What are you going to be studying specifically. Take this into consideration for the school you choose. For instance if you were to study to become a doctor I might say go with University of Michigan. If you were studying Engineering I woulds say go with MIT (though its not on your list).
7 :
The schools you listed of are a wide enough range, that there will be some that you get in. But your odds of Georgetown, UNC-Chapel Hill, Berkeley, USC, Princeton, Cornell, Chicago and Duke are very very limited given you stats. For those schools, a higher SAT score is necessary and higher GPA. The other schools you probably have a decent shot at though.
8 :
On behalf of Admissions Offices everywhere, thank you for your generous donations. I love seeing students waste money on places that won't admit them. Seriously, instead of this 'shotgun' approach to a bunch of name schools, why don't you apply a little finesse? There are several free online services that help you find a school that is already accepting students with your credentials. My favorite is College Matchmaker, from the College Board company. Go to that website, enter your personal information and SAT or ACT scores, tell them where [State or area or even by zip code] you want to go to college and what majors you may be interested in, and see what comes up. Then, make sure that you apply to at least three of the schools likely to accept you. College admissions can be cruel at times, and you definitely want to have some choice Here is the web address: http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/adv_typeofschool.jsp Also, it is a good idea to read what other students say about the colleges you are investigating. The best free site for that feedback is run by The Princeton Review. Here is their web address: http://www.princetonreview.com/com.aspx

Your 3.14 GPA will keep you out of most of these schools, even if you're black. Aim more realistically.
10 :
You can never aim too high; the worst a college can say is "no".
11 :
The fact that you even listed a weighted GPA makes me think you believe it matters. No, you have a 3.14 GPA, and that is all that matters, universities do their own assessment of your grades. This is a much too low GPA to get into many of these schools (georgetown, berkeley, boston, princeton, cornell, chicago, duke, michigan, maybe the others too) You have some schools in there that could be possible for you to get admitted, but ultimately, most of those schools will easily (sorry) reject you. If you just have to know you tried all you could in order to get into the schools that you wanted, then go ahead and apply. Ultimately though, you will be wasting hundreds of dollars on application fees. It cannot be too friendly to the ego either, to be greeted by 12 rejection letters/deferrals. I have never known someone who wanted to apply to that many colleges. People apply to five sometimes, and even that is excessive. Apply to a few schools, not freaking 18. Again, you will be spending a lot of money here. Even if you have it, it is foolish to be so wasteful. I do not know how much application fees cost at all these universities, but at Michigan it costs $55. Assuming this is typical, you will be spending close to $1000 on applications that will just get you rejected. Your extracurriculars are fine, but they do not at all make up for your GPA, and do not think for a moment they do. IB does not make up for anything either. If you bother to even take IB, then you should be able to get As in them. If not, then take lower level classes. This is hard to hear, but you do not stand out so much right now. You have to realize how big this country is. Tens of thousands of people apply to these schools each year for only thousands of spots (e.g. michigan gets ~ 30000 apps per year). There are tens of thousands of applicants who have better records than you do, so there is essentially a zero chance of getting into a lot of these schools, especially the ivy league ones. That was a mean way to say it, but i was just being frank and not spending extra effort to sugar coat it/delicately phrase it. In all, what you propose is extremely unrealistic, you should aim much lower. And, if your heart insists, then apply to some of these schools too. My question is, why are no state schools listed? Those are a better bet for you, and they are fine educations.

No. From the colleges I see above be prepared to see some acceptance letters! I went to penn state with a lowerv HS GPA and lower SAT's. If you stay in state the cost will be lower. I see you have universities from diffrent states. GOOD LUCK!

My SAT scores were C-600 W-590 M-620. I am going to retake them and am enrolled in a Kaplan SAT prep course which should hopefully help. What are my chances of getting into: University of South Carolina University of Tennessee North Carolina State University of North Carolina Wilmington University of North Carolina Charlotte Appalachian State University Ohio State University Coastal Carolina East Carolina Thanks! I know that there are websites such as princetonreview.com and such but they aren't always accurate in terms of the statitics they give, so I was just wondering what everyones personal opinions were. Some people are able to tell me my chances by experiences then what princetonreview has to offer.

Which state would you move to?
Which state would you move to?
If you had the choice...& for what reason? Here are the options- 1) North Carolina-Charlotte, Triangle area (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) 2) Oklahoma-OK City, Tulsa area 3) Rhode Island-Providence area 4) Massachusetts-Boston area I know these are some pretty extreme areas but I'm looking @ graduate schools/future home locations in the areas. I'm a pretty laid-back, reserved person so this is one reason why...

Depends on what you want. If I were picking, I would take the Triangle. Still a low cost of living (unlike the Northeast), but also becoming a best-of-both-worlds kind of place with Duke, UNC, and Wake Forest all in that area.

1 or 2 if you are basing your decision on your personality

Definitely North Carolina Triangle areas. The reasons are: 1. Best all year around climate than Tulsa, Providence, and Boston area. 2. And most importantly, the employment rate in Triange area is very very low. According to housing market report, as of Sept 2008, the housing price in Raleigh not only did not drop an average(-15%) like other cities in the whole USA, but it(Raleigh) rose ~3% in housing price

Anybody know of any Badminton organizations?
Anybody know of any Badminton organizations?
I'm 15, and I love to play badminton, but my high school does not offer it as a sport. Does anybody know of any badminton tournaments or organizations that I can join in North Carolina. P.S.It would be preferable if they were in the Triad Area-ish or in Charlotte.
