Georgetown or UNC?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgetown University

<p>I really wish people would think before they post things.

UNC is just as difficult OOS with an admit rate of ~17%. </p>

<p>

By whom, exactly? UNC has a higher peer assessment score than Georgetown.</p>

<p>

The OP wants to major in history and go to law school, not go into business. You don’t need the opportunities of DC to do that. </p>

<p>UNC has plenty of opportunities for the OP.

<p>

Duke and UNC students are allowed to cross-register at both universities. A bus runs between the two every 30 minutes. Students at Duke and UNC have unlimited access to the libraries, research facilities, and faculty of two major research universities. Two for the price of one, eh?</p>

<p>really? peer assessment? A lot of people at HBCU’s love it, but they are mostly crap. You gotta do better, most people love their schools. You don’t think the political background and huge law firms of DC offer better opportunities than Charlotte? WHo because of the banking issues is a declining city?
And UNC’s acceptance rate is 34%</p>

<p>Once again, doing some thinking before typing would make you look considerably less ignorant.</p>

<p>

Try reading about what peer assessment is before commenting on it.</p>

<p>Comparing a public state school and a private catholic school is like comparing apples and oranges. Private schools have certain advantages.<br>
IBclass06 perception is reality and its not based on peer assessments, which are crap anyways. Georgetown is perceived to be more prestigious, not necessarily better.</p>

25

<p>and you back up your “UNC has great opportunities” statement with 2 links from the uNC website? I’m sure thats completely unbiased. How old are you, 20?</p>

26

<p>Ignorant huh? Your basing your opinion on UNC being perceived to be better on a questionnaire that was sent to 4200 people and responded to by less than 50%? Not based on any other criteria other than that, not taking into account that you don’t know the variations, the number of schools involved, or which schools are considered to be peer schools? Is UNC a peer school of NC A&T? I doubt it, but did A & T get questionnaires? But I’m ignorant??</p>

<p>

Nope. 21, actually. I’m graduating from a top 10 university (call me a hypocrite if you wish) and will be heading to graduate school in the fall. </p>

<p>That hardly makes me an expert in all things collegiate, of course, but elite privates are not really all they’re cracked up to be. ;)</p>

<p>I will be the first to agree with you on the ibclass, people dont always go for the elite school experience, they go for the name and the weight the name carries. Personally I think when considering colleges in large cities, the city is an advantage that smaller towns don’t always have.
I’m 28, i’ve been employee and employer, salaried supervisor and hourly employee, and the name matters. And the more money involved with your company, the more the name matters. Unfortunate, but true</p>
