Academics: Both are excellent, but Michigan has the edge thanks to its Engineering program, strength in the sciences and reputation in academe

School spirit: Both schools are equally amazing where spirit is concerned

Alumni connections: Both have large, successful and loyal alumni networks, but Michigan has the edge thanks to geographic diversity and very strong professional programs

Resources: Michigan’s endowment stands at $7.8 billion while UNC’s stands at $2.2 billion. Michigan spends much more on research, offers more undergraduate research opportunities, has a larger library system and more world-class facilities.

Overall, both universities are excellent with Michigan edging UNC by a small margin. In fact, the margin is so small, I would recommend choosing based on fit.
