If the OP is in-state, UNC should be the runaway clear choice. I literally can’t think of a single reason why he/she would go to Michigan (both are in excellent college towns, great sports culture at both, liberal student bodies, top notch business schools, highly ranked research institutions, flagship state schools, etc. etc.).

Like warblers said, the OP wouldn’t be applying to Michigan if he/she was a prospective engineer anyway so it’s unlikely that’s a consideration. The OP would be saving $120k over the span of 4 years. Even Harvard would be difficult to justify at that cost differential if the Cambridge, MA school offered no FA for some reason.
