We are also OOS at UNC. It was initially difficult as my D also felt like an outsider at first. She became VERY active on campus and after 2-3 months of some transition difficulty, she really fell in love with the school. She has friends from NC, but also from Florida, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Texas, Illinois, etc and other countries. At the beginning, as with any state school, it may be hard to be from another state- you sometimes feel like everybody knows one another. As you get involved and meet more students, that feeling subsides.

The school has balance. The academics are strong but the vibe of the school is not competitive.

Like I said you won’t go wrong with either choice. My D has a friend at NW who initially voiced similar " complaints" but is now happy. Her transition was also very difficult.
