<p>I also made a similar choice last year, except it was between USC and UNC. Ultimately, I chose UNC though both ended up costing around the same numbers. For me, the atmosphere at UNC just spoke more- for one, Chapel Hill is a GREAT college town and I really wanted to have a very college-y experience. Plus, I really like the whole east coast/Southern thing that UNC has going on as I wasn’t sure if LA was my thing. I don’t regret my decision at all.</p>
