colleges like unc...

<p>Hey. For a while I was seriously considering journalism so I was really focused on schools with good communications. Recently I decided I wanted to be able to pay my rent...so now I'm at a loss when it comes to where to apply. Chapel Hill is my first choice. Just because you have time to figure out what you want to do. A lot of colleges you apply to their programs right away. I also like the sports and the feel of the campus. The problem is that although there is a good chance I can get in it's not a sure thing. I'm a little low on the stats. What are some colleges you all would reccomend applying to in addition to chapel hill?</p>

<p>wait..so are you still considering journalism or no? UNC is definitely a good choice since its health, business, and journalism programs are all top-ranked. if you're still thinking of majoring in journalism/mass communications, i'd also go for northwestern (but you have to apply to the specific program right away, unfortunately), U of Minnesota-Twin Cities, or Mizzou..although Mizzou isnt exactly prestigious. Minnesota has pretty good sports and is in a great location with plenty of job opportunities..its atmosphere is very different from that of chapel hill's though. Indiana-Bloomington also has a good journalism program. </p>

<p>if you're no longer doing journalism, then please ignore everything i just typed. lol</p>

<p>if ur doing journalism and communications Syracuse is one of the best too</p>

<p>sorry didn't make myself clear. I'm not considering journalism anymore. I'm looking for a college that has the feel of unc.</p>

<p>try UGA.</p>

<p>athens is very similar to chapel hill, and the honors program is a really good.</p>

<p>Another college may 'have the feel' of UNC but there is none other like it....He he ,...It's one in a million!! (if there ARE that many colleges..!!) Go Tarheels!!!!</p>

<p>Best thing to being like UNC that i can think of is UVA. But idk.</p>

<p>yep, i agree with tartheheel.</p>

<p>Georgia is probably the school most similar in atmosphere to UNC. UVa is similar also but has a bit more of an elitist old south feel.</p>
