<p>So, now that I have gotten decisions from all the colleges I applied to, I'm ready to pick which school I want to attend. I'm fortunate enough to have a wide range of choices, from Northeastern to Notre Dame to Penn State to, of course, UNC. I know I'll be happy wherever I chose to go, and I got the same amount of aid from all of them, so basically now my decision is being influenced more and more by nitpicky things. I know this may sound weird to some people, but at this point I already know I'll be attending great schools, so now I just want to find out which one would be the best fit- in every aspect, not just academic.</p>
<p>That said, I really do think UNC is perfect in every way. Warm weather (I'm from NE- nothing is more appealing than that!), great reputation, challenging academics... the only thing I'm concerned about is the notorious guy/girl ratio and the social scene for out of state students. I've read some student reviews... and, well, some are pretty tough on this subject and have led me to believe I'll basically only interact with girls for 4 years of my life. Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty friendly and comfortable with myself, and I've never considered myself ugly, but by the looks of it, if you're not model material you won't have a good time when it comes to the dating scene. Not that I really really care about it, but it is a concern. Also, being from out of state, I'm not too worried about making friends (UNC sounds like a pretty friendly place) but I do want to know more about whether or not it's obvious OOS have a harder time integrating themselves, etc.</p>
<p>I know this all sounds silly... but I just wanted to see if others feel the same, or if some UNC students/alumn could provide some helpful feedback. Thanks!</p>
