<p>I was recently rejected by my #1 school choice (UNC Chapel Hill) and am now trying to decide between Clemson or University of Georgia, both still good schools, which I was accepted to early admisison. As someone who grew up in Canada its really hard for me to make a decision when I don't know much at all about American school systems. I took a year off this year (living in North Carolina) while my family moved, so I am out of state for both universities. Cost is obviously an issue but both seem fairly similar.
I was hoping to go into communications or journalism and Georgia definitely has a more extensive and reputable program in this field, but I felt really unsure visiting the campus as it is so large. I felt much more at home and happy on Clemson's campus, both because of its beauty and how friendly and down to earth all the people seemed. Nightlife is also a consideration for me, Clemson really has no downtown life from what i have seen and Georgia is very well known for being a party school.
I'm just looking for some input on both schools, I fell in love with Clemson but Georgia does have more program options and a city life nearby.... it's a tough decision</p>
