Wake Forest?
You're probably thinking of NCCU - North Carolina Central University. There are also a number of other colleges and universities in the area but that one would be the largest outside of Duke, NCSU, and UNC.
Wake Forest is in Winston-Salem, an hour and a half away; East Carolina (ECU) is in Greenville, a couple of hours in the other direction.
Khalid S. M. went to the North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University in Greensboro as an engineering major. Interesting article here:
