<p>Hey you guys, </p>

<p>I'm a sophomore at East Carolina University who's taken business core classes, with an interest in Engineering and Computer Science.</p>

<p>For Transfer, I've been accepted by George Washington University for spring '05, and have been awarded the Elliot Engineering Scholarship ($12g), however, I am thinking about turning it down and going to UNC Chapel Hill for fall '05. </p>

<p>If I go to UNC, I'll be an in-state resident by the time I enroll, meaning the price will be a fraction of what GWU would cost.</p>

<p>As for areas of study, I have narrowed my options to: Biomedical or Mechnical Engineering, Computer Science and... still Business Finance. </p>

<p>Which school would be better for me? </p>

<p>My father wants me to go to UNC because of the money, but I don't like the country; I'm more urban... thus, I lean towards GWU. Also, one of my best friends goes to GWU. </p>

<p>UNC - 29th; GWU - 52nd [US News, even though this has nothing to do with Eng. rankings]</p>

<p>Let me know what you think.</p>

<p>UNC is a better overall school, but I'm not sure about engineering. For business, I would lean towards UNC, but I can't comment on the other listed concentrations.</p>

<p>UNC is most def the better school and its cheaper. In all of those areas its a better school without a doubt. Plus, its not really the country, Franklin Street rocks and the party scene is huge. There are also a ton of stores/ malls nearby. I would go there in a minute, you are lucky to be in state. GW isnt in the same league.</p>
