UGA v. UNC Chapel Hill

I may be good student, but I’m not Harvard bound. As of now, my favorite past-time is to look at colleges. Due to a variety of factors-homesickness, cost, and prestige, I have come up with my top two colleges of choice- UGA and UNC Chapel Hill. I don’t want to be an engineer so Georgia Tech is out of the question. When I think of Emory all I see is a bunch of future doctors holed up in their dorm rooms studying- not my type of people. I’m applying to both UGA and UNC and if I happen to get accepted into both, well I’ll have a dilemma on my hands. Here are the pros and cons of both.

UGA Pros

• Close to home. (Meaning when I start crying for my mom, home is only an hour away.)
• I will most-likely be accepted
• UGA football. ‘Nuff said.
• Athens’ music scene
• All freshman dorms, make friends easily
• Hope Scholarship
• Better school education-wise than say Georgia Southern or Florida.
• I already love UGA

UGA Cons

• Huge Greek Life
• Less prestigious than UNC, GA Tech, or Emory, i.e. I can do better
• Less diversity
• No dental school

UNC Pros

• Better school than UGA
• Has one of the best dental schools in the country
• UNC basketball
• Less Greek Life

UNC Cons

• Cost
• UNC only accepts 18% out of state students
• Far from home
• My sister lives in North Carolina
• Boring city
• Not totally in love with UNC

See my dilemma? I visiting both schools this summer on a college tour of the southeast with my mom, but only time (and an acceptance letter) will tell which school I’ll decide to attend.
