If she wants to pursue grad school she could look at UNC again then. It is one of the top journalism schools in the country and being admitted to UNC as an OOS student is a huge coup –so big congrats to her on that – but I would be loathe to saddle my kid with debt before they start their first real job if I could help it. I do not think just having a degree from UNC is going to help her that much over a degree from UF. UNC is a great school but about 20,000 kids graduate from UNC every year (82% of which are NC residents) and it’s not like that degree is a golden ticket for every single one of them.
