Scotty McCreery: NC State Is 'Best Spot' for Learning
Garner, North Carolina native Scotty McCreery is, naturally, a fan of N.C. State in Raleigh, where his father went to school, so it's a natural choice for him to head there for college. But the Season 10 "American Idol" winner admits there are other motivations for him to attend the school.
"Those are good reasons but not necessarily why I was drawn to it," Scotty tells The Boot. "At 18 years old, I have a lot of learning to do and I don't know if I'm ready to make the move from home yet. Give me a couple more years and I'll be more mature and I'll know more about the business. Maybe then I'll make the move to Nashville. I think for right now the best spot for me is home."
The singer, who has said he will probably major in marketing or a related subject that could help him in his music endeavors, hastens to assure his fans that, "I'll still be working. We'll work college around the road. I'll get creative with my schedule, maybe have a two-day schedule and work on weekends. We'll figure it out."
Even though he's out with Brad Paisley's Virtual Reality tour right now, Scotty still goes to high school every day, even playing on the baseball team when time permits. "I love it because the people at my high school don't treat me like I'm on the road with Brad. They treat me like Scotty. I was a little worried about that after the first weekend out, but I made sure when I went into school I was wearing flip-flops, shorts and a T-shirt. I wanted them to know that I'm still a part of that school ... at least until the weekend!"
The soon-to-be high-school graduate says its been an amazing year since he took home the American Idol title. "I can still remember being that kid
