Sure, I'd be happy to provide some recommendations for strong science colleges in North Carolina.

1. Duke University: Known for its stellar academics, Duke has an array of strong science programs, particularly in biological sciences and environmental science. They provide endless research opportunities for undergraduates, and their new sciences building, French Family Science Center, is state-of-the-art.

2. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC): UNC Chapel Hill is renowned for its dedication to research and state-of-the-art facilities, making it a stalwart choice for those interested in biological sciences, environmental sciences, or chemistry.

3. North Carolina State University (NC State): Known for its focus on STEM fields, NC State has strong programs in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. The university's "Think and Do" ethos encourages undergraduate research and practical application of concepts.

4. Wake Forest University: Though not as often recognized for its STEM programs, Wake Forest has nevertheless gained a strong reputation in biology, biochemistry, and health sciences, especially with the interaction between its well-ranked medical school and undergraduate students.

5. Davidson College: A liberal arts college with a strong commitment to undergraduate research; its departments of biology, chemistry, and physics are particularly notable.

At each of these schools, you'll gain the opportunity to take part in cutting-edge research, work closely with accomplished faculty, and have a wide array of science-related extracurricular activities available to you. It may be wise to further investigate each of these schools to get an idea of which might be the best fit for your specific interests and needs.
