[quote=Anonymous]What a great problem to have OP! Congrats to your DC.

I was an Econ major at Carolina OOS. I had a fantastic experience but from an education perspective and socially (being OOS at such an instate school). Econ is not part of the business school. I went on to get my JD/MBA at a different school, and work in finance/hedge fund. I make really good money and can't complain too much about my life today and I do attribute it to my foundation at UNC.

Chapel Hill is a college town where the surrounding area is basically supporting the college. It's not too far from Raleigh or Durham (boo) if you want a bigger city for whatever reason. The school is pretty moderate/liberal and very socio-economically diverse. School spirit is HUGE. You are a Tar Heel for life. The student basketball ticket distribution system gives students points for every sports event they attend, the more points you earn the higher your chances are getting basketball tickets. It is a fantastic system because now the kids regularly attend women's basketball, baseball, lacrosse, softball, soccer, etc. It is a major part of their culture now.

My experiences with UVA are all positive (I even lived for a summer there with some UVA friends, worked at the Biltmore). Charlottesville today is a bigger metropolitan area giving you access to pretty much everything you want. It is a very pretty campus. Academics have a great reputation. Student body seems a bit preppier and heavier into the greek system than UNC, if that matters. But I have never heard of anyone having a bad experience going there (then or now).

I have a few friends who were athletes at UCLA and are still huge booster fans. They loved their experience. But California (especially LA) is a world all its own and maybe you love that and maybe you don't.

Good luck with your choice. So exciting![/quote]
