<p>Go to GA. UNC is not worth four times the price. We are in a large sch. system in NC that sends tons of kids to UNC-CH. I would bet that most kids at UNC-CH don’t even realize how much harder it is for oos admits because it doesn’t matter to them. It is a great accomplishment for you D to get in and I’m sure it does make her feel special (and deservedly so) but once she gets here, she’ll just be another freshmen. Friends/People in GA will look at her admission as a greater accomplishment than NC students at UNC-CH.<br>
I would tell her to take the money and the honors program at UGA and don’t look back.</p>
<p>My 2 kids are at NC state u’s with lots of kids from our area but it has never been a problem. The schools are just too big to be running into high school classmates all the time unless they want to. Mine like having some familiar faces around in a huge sea of strangers.</p>
