What is the State?

Yeah, they lick alright.

But again, the phrase "State" is usually applied to the second-tier public university system in a particular state. "U of..." is usually the first-tier, most competitive admissions and most dedication to graduate programs and "[State Name] State..." is usually the second tier of public university in the state with more accomodating admissions standards but still an excellent university.

UNC and NC State are excellent examples.
