UNC Chapel Hill [NC resident] vs Univ of Southern Cal [business and journalism]

@templerundude, I’d suggest you think back to what drew you to apply to each school in the first place, and ask yourself how important that characteristic/opportunity is to you, and whether the other school will provide it.

For example, it sounds like starting fresh has some appeal, but only you know how much appeal. Which school excites you intellectually and socially? How important is it to you to have an easy adjustment? How important is it to you to already have friends at the school?

Both are excellent schools, but which one fits you better?
