<p>If you really want to go to UNC, the $5000 difference could easily be accomplished with a job either on campus or in Chapel Hill. You talk about transferring to somewhere else like Cornell or Berkeley.....I think I can understand why your folks are adamant about limiting the money they are offering because you really don't seem too passionate about any school. If you haven't sold me, I doubt that you have sold them on how much UNC means to you, if it really does.</p>
<p>Good luck....</p>
