@DevilStick Thank you! That was was very helpful. Fortunately, we good a good financial aid package where UNC will cost about $3,000 more per year. So it’s not too bad. There are other intangibles. My son loves college basketball (he played in high school was a 3rd grade boys basketball coach for our city league). In addition, the feeling that I get is that he might like the student life better at UNC (heard UCLA is intense and competitive).
Could I ask a question about CS? Did your daughter need to apply to get into the major? In other words, is it competitive? Or did she just declare and all they require is a GPA requirement or something.
The BS/MS combo sounds good! Thanks for the tip!
