cuse,
I think that U Wisconsin and U Texas might beat both U North Carolina and U Virginia in the athletic life realm. Granted, they’re much larger schools and probably a little less user-friendly to undergrads, but they’re highly spirited and broadly successful places. Anyway, all four are great places for finding a wonderful balance of academics, social life and athletic life on a scale that very few privates can come close to matching.



I’d agree that Texas currently eclipses UNC athletically (both UT’s football and basketball teams are ranked in the top 5 right now), but I’d argue that UNC and U Wisconsin are largely equal athletically. UW has a good football program and a decent basketball program, while UNC has a decent football program and a good basketball program. And, as I said earlier, I don’t think UVa’s athletics are anything to write home about.

But, I’ll agree with you that all four schools offer a great balance that is hard to find elsewhere. You really can’t go wrong with any of them.
