NCSU's GitHub Enterprise instance is fully private and requires LDAP
authentication with your Unity credentials. Repositories are not
world-readable. My vote is still with a hosted Git service.

Additionally, I may be wrong on this front, but I recall reading somewhere
that the University retains many privileges and some form of copyright over
any code hosted there. If anyone has further information on this I'd love
to know more, but that's my understanding.

I am wrong, students retain IP over their code. However the FAQ does indeed
note:

*"NCSU GitHub is specifically designed to not compete with Github.com as
far as public offering. “Public” inside of NCSU GitHub is public to the
institution, not the world. If a given project is truly open source, then
it may be more appropriate to host it at GitHub.com with a personal
account."*

...or on your friendly neighborhood Linux User Group's hosted git service
:-)
