<p>Lucky to have this choice- which would you choose?</p>
<p>Really impossible to answer with the information you have provided, which is none.</p>
<p>What is the student planning on studying? STEM - GT , liberal arts - UNC.</p>
<p>I also got accepted to both schools, and it really depends on your residency and plans. For me, I plan on majoring in computer science and mathematics, so GA Tech would be better. But since I am in-state for UNC, then I would have to accept UNC since its cheaper, not to mention that now I can use up more of my AP credits.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Would also depend on what kind of academic environment/atmosphere you want. </p>
<p>From what I’ve heard from GA Tech and UNC graduates…the former seems to have much more of a high pressure competitive academic environment than UNC. Not saying UNC is necessarily relaxed, but it seems to lend itself to a much more balanced college experience from what their alums conveyed versus their GA Tech counterparts. </p>
<p>For some students, GA Tech’s atmosphere has great appeal. Others may prefer the more balanced atmosphere at UNC.</p>
<p>spyderwoman-
What is your intended major? If you are looking for engineering, best pick Tech, asn UNC-CH doesnt really have an undergrad engineering program. They have an “applied sciences and engineering” that has a specialization in computer engineering , biomedical engineering and materials, but if you want to go to a school that offers ABET certified engineering, then you need to pick Tech. They are very different schools. Have you visited?</p>
<p>Intended major is a big factor in choosing between these two schools.</p>
<p>Engineering => choose Georgia Tech (not available at UNC - CH)
Most humanities or social studies => choose UNC - CH (limited selection at Georgia Tech)</p>
<p>Also, location, since one would be out-of-state tuition, unless you got a scholarship, financial aid, or cost doesn’t matter</p>
<p>Ach7DD, I wish we could trade our state residencies!</p>
