<p>catrobwil - First, congratulations on two fine choices. My older D graduated from UGA a few years ago, from Grady, as a magazine major. She received a wonderful education at UGA and currently lives and works in Atlanta. We had hoped she would return home (she was an OOS student while at UGA), but she was just not ready to leave Georgia. Her boyfriend also graduated from Grady, as did many of her friends. All are working in the journalism field. While UNC-CH has a strong reputation, I would not pass up UGA, since your daughter has HOPE and the honors program. Also, my D had several wonderful internship opportunities as an undergrad (both in Athens and Atlanta) and was fortunate to get a job at a small magazine publisher in the Atlanta area after graduation. She has since moved on to another job, working for a large Atlanta corporation in the communications department, where she continues to use the skills she learned at UGA. UGA prepared her to enter the working world and I have been impressed with the many UGA/Grady grads I have met thru her. If your daughter plans to live in the Atlanta area after college, I don’t think you can pass up the networking opportunities that UGA will provide.</p>
