Perhaps you can take the summer classes for foreign language during summer. I personally think that 4 years of a language (whether you were good/bad at it) is plenty to do well at the standard lvl. UNC may not sound as bad if the only thing preventing you from deciding on it is the french.
2ndly: Just to voice over Eadad, UNC is quiet convenient. I haven’t been to Wisconsin in my life but Charlotte and Raleigh are two great cities if you want an urban feel. But to be quiet frank, Chapel Hill is quiet the hype as well. It has eloquent restaurants and a suburban feel to it. I don’t find much difference btw Chapel hill and Raleigh really because franklin and hillsborough streets are kindda the same (except I admit I like franklin more). Carrboro and downtown raleigh seem the same as well on most part (except more big businesses at the Raleigh side). On the other hand, Charlotte is something to visit for its real estates and allocated companies and malls. In addition, it has been rated as one of the top places to live, and having been from charlotte, I can say it is a nice place to visit and settle at.
3rd: You’re undecided and I am sure UNC will change your perspective on things. I think UNC will offer a variety of opportunities if you decide to spread yourself out. I don’t know much about UWis, but I found that most of the professors in the history department teach you extremely well and with concentrated meaning. I know there is inflation in terms of grades, but the teaching faculty contains many leaders in their respective field. Also, if you decide to switch majors you have nothing to worry about b/c whether it may be social science, business, or medicine, you will be learning from the best. You won’t have to worry about getting a job if you do well here.
