If so, who preceded you? I'm curious as to how many of are legacies, and to what degree.

Just me and my dad.

8/14/2009 10:48:34 PM

I guess if I ever go to Wake Tech, I could be a legacy.

8/14/2009 10:53:36 PM

my father, grandfather and great grandfather.

and aunt i guess, but women don't count.

8/14/2009 10:56:01 PM

lol @ the idea of Legacy student at NCSU. You're not at Ivy League.

8/14/2009 10:56:14 PM

my uncle and aunt

8/14/2009 10:56:30 PM

^^^that's really cool

^^haha I'm not saying I (or other legacies) are any better than anyone, just wondering who's got the longest running "tradition" if you even want to call it that.

My dad grduated in aerospace engineering

8/14/2009 10:58:47 PM

neither of my folks attended college, so no.

wait, i take that back. my mom attended junior college while i was in college. but still, not a legacy.

8/14/2009 10:59:58 PM

My dad (engineer) and I (visual arts/history)

8/14/2009 11:00:19 PM

ivy league or not, I think it's really special to have gone where your parents went. It's really nice to hear about what state was like back in the day. honestly, I went to State because my dad went there and I'd be honored if my children follow suit but not offended if they didn't

Same here.


One of my uncles graduated from NCSU. Another went to Campbell for a semester or two, then quit. That's about it for college in my family (until I came along, followed by my brother and 2 cousins).

My grandfather went to NCSU. Wrestled and played a little baseball. Closest thing I've had to a dad, so it counts to me. His brother also went to NCSU. They were farmers.

8/15/2009 9:15:41 AM

neither of my parents went to college

8/15/2009 9:22:49 AM

I was, just not a legacy graduate. My grandfather got his masters in agriculture in '48, and my dad got his bachelors in computer science in '75. I may finish something by 2047 at the rate I'm going.

8/15/2009 9:34:15 AM

nope.

8/15/2009 9:52:47 AM

Grandfather was Professor of Art at some college in New Jersey, Mom was an art student there maybe but didn't graduate.

Dad was a Marine, none of this family went to college.

Guess Art + Military = Engineering

8/15/2009 10:00:38 AM

My dad and I both got degrees in Animal Science with the intent of going to Vet school and we both just gave up on life and ended up working for the state.

dad, uncle, two cousins and my little sister have all graduated from NCSU

8/15/2009 11:17:03 AM

my brother transferred to state 2 years b4 i applied, but that's not a legacy.

8/15/2009 11:19:50 AM

neither of my parents went to college, but my dad did eventually get one of those online degrees and then got a masters from somewhere. But I went to school before him

My sister is starting at State this semester if that counts for anything.

8/15/2009 11:23:33 AM

Dad - architecture & civil engineering
Mom - graphic design
Grandfather - electrical engineering
Sister - comm

I think we disappointed our family

8/15/2009 11:47:47 AM

dad- ms civil engineering

8/15/2009 12:20:23 PM

Both my parents went to Atlantic Christian College, so no way to have a legacy, unless you would count Barton, but that doesn't matter because my sister and I both went to NCSU.

And I think my brother is going to as well. He's a UNC fan, because his mother and grandparents are all Tarheels. (His grandparents have lifetime gold circle seats to the dean dome and their name on a plaque somewhere in the dean dome and his mom got her Bachelor, Masters, and PhD at Carolina.) All the Spell grandchildren would be going to school on their grandparents' dime if they went to UNC, but so far they have had one go to NCSU, one go to ECU, and my brother wants to be an engineer, so that's another NCSU there.

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure my brother is going to be one of those State students that wears their UNC hat or Hoodie at all times.

ouch, I graduated and am attending UNC starting in about 9 days and I've thought about wearing my State hat around to be so tuff, but then I was like nah.

my great-grandfather. he majored in Forestry/Ag and did a lot of tree work.

sometimes when I am on campus and see an old tree I like the idea that he might have planted it.

vinylbandit, do you come from a long line of entrepreneurs?

8/15/2009 3:49:29 PM

I went to the same elementary school as my parents - and was in the same kindergarten room as my mom.

that's about it.

8/15/2009 3:50:13 PM

My dad and I went to the same middle school. I also went to the same high school as my parents, but only for a month.

I am. It even noted the fact in my acceptance letter to NCSU.

My dad attended NCSU in the 70s and lived in Alexander and Lee.

my grandfather and my mom both went to app before me. of course, when my granddad went it was still appalachian teachers' college.
