Alright I already posted something similar to this on another part of this site. (so dont get mad) But I am still having trouble deciding between UNCG and UNC. I am from an extremely small town in NC, like only 15,000, so my family amd friends think that I would be more comfortable goin to UNCG( with the size, closeness to home, plus I know a lot of ppl goin… only problem with UNCG is its a suitcase college :-/) However, lets face it UNC is a great school and well known for it. What I am really tryin to figure out, rankings aside and all, is that will a small town girl, like myself fit in down at UNC. A lot of kids from my town have passed up UNC, sayin that the people down there are really stuck up and uppity (like those rich prada, louis vuitton kids :-p) Basically nothing like the down to earth people I’m use to being around. No offense to anyone who goes there, but this is just what I heard… Last week I decided that I would give UNC a try (i could always transfer next year if i hated it) but everyone keeps telling me that I’m not gonna fit in and I’m gonna be miserable the first year and I really dont wont that. I want to enjoy every bit of college to it’s fullest. So if someone could tell me there thoughts on UNC and UNCG please help.

oh and if my career goals need to be factored in, I plan on doing something in the medical field as of now (dermatologist-long shot dream; nurse anthetist; physicians assistant; or sports trainer) and if I go and decided I hate science related fields my back up is business type (business advertisment or real estate).

Again please help, my family is making me decide by the end of the week!
I’m suppose to go to this UNC overnight thing on Friday but I dont think I’ll be able to attend, so this is really goin to help me out a lot.
