<p>Congrats on getting into UNC! Thats tough as an out of stater! Only 18% get in from OOS. If your daughter will feel fine in the minority (most students are from NC) at UNC, personally, I liked UNC better that UGA (speaking as someone from your neck of the woods). UNC is smaller, and you mentioned that size matters to your dau, but of course UGA is closer to home. My s wouldnt even apply to UGA, to our chagrin. </p>
<p>I agree though, UGA has a great journalism school. I don’t recall offhand what UNC offers in journalism, but I do recall, for instance, that a student has to apply as a soph to get into (for eg) the business school. Is it the same for a journalism major? Does your dau want to end up back int he Atl area after school? If so, UGA may be a better choice. </p>
<p>Yes, UNC is much more expensive as an OOS’er, and more expensive than UGA, but it still a reasonable cost-- not as expensive as some private schools. Are there other variables to consider??? Its a tough, but enviable position to be in… Good luck!</p>
