I’m sorry that you (and trusted adults around you) couldn’t convince your parents to let you attend UNC. It is truly normal to mourn a choice you loved but was closed to you and that you sacrificed for your family’s sake, especially if they don’t understand what a sacrifice it is.

That being said, Mac is a topnotch school and even if they don’t have an official Public Health major, they do have an excellent concentration in Community&GlobalHealth which is basically the same thing for your purpose - after taking your 1st year courses you’ll see which major they fit into most easily. The concentration requires 1 internship, which should be right up your alley.
