<p>Why is that silly? I think it is a very reasonable assumption to make. I know plenty of people at UNC, and no one that I know is seriously considering a move to NYC once they graduate. The climate is better down here, and so are the employment opportunities. You’re forgetting that Charlotte is the second-largest banking city in the United States, and lots of UNC grads get gobbled up by the major banks in Charlotte. Also, the Raleigh-Durham metro area is the fastest-growing metro area in the United States and has been ranked by Forbes as the number one place in the country to do business for two or three years in a row now. Lots of UNC grads end up staying local.</p>
<p>Contrast that to UVA, where there aren’t a whole lot of local or semi-local opportunities for the grads to get involved with. No wonder many end up going to NYC; at UNC, there is just more in the region that is available, so there is less pressure to try to make a name for yourself in a place like NYC.</p>
