<p>I agree with Stacy. If international relations and foreign service are your main interest, go to Georgetown. Many students change their minds about their future plans while in college. Perhaps the SFS will offer job opportunities at the time of graduation that you'd want to pursue and law school plans could be delayed.</p>
<p>Since your grandparents will help with tuition, it's a no brainer, go to Georgetown.</p>
<p>If you tell me you want to be a liberal arts major, now, that's another story. I'd say go to UNC.</p>
<p>I have a similar problem, since I'm also considering going to law school and trying to decide where to go for college (and, purely incidentally, my decision involves UNC too). </p>
<p>Basically, I've been accepted into UNC out-of-state and SUNY Binghamton in-state. My parents are contributing to my tuition, but not paying for the whole thing, so I'll end up with about $22,000 debt if I go to Binghamton or $80,000 if I go to UNC. Obviously you can't only go by US News rankings, but there is nevertheless a pretty big difference: UNC is placed at 27, and Bing is at 86 -- a much bigger difference than that of between UNC and G'town. In this case, would going to UNC likely give me a better chance of getting into a top law school (or, simply, a relatively better law school) than if I had gone to Bing, where it would justify the debt?</p>
<p>I think it's really hard to answer these questions unless you are or speak candidly with admissions personnel at a law school. I do know that if in 4 years you no longer want to be a lawyer, UNC will give you better options on the job market. If being a lawyer is something you have always wanted to do and you no that it will not change, then it complicates the matter.</p>
