Making the FINAL College Decision?!

With what you were offered, It seems like UNC is a great choice for you

Speaking to the financial questions raised by @powercropper ā€¦ Iā€™m a parent of another great kid choosing between two excellent college options. Weā€™ve told our child the same thing the OPā€™s parents are sayingā€”the finances should not be the deciding factor. If the decision is between schools that are affordable to the family (because of income, savings, financial aid, whatever), then all the other elements are more important. I donā€™t want my responsible and fiscally careful child to get stuck on the specific financial details. I think the OP is already asking all the right questions.

To the OP, I donā€™t know a single thing about either school! But reading your posts, it sounds like you felt more comfortable, challenged, and excited by one great schoolā€¦ but you donā€™t want to hurt the feelings of another great school that deserves the best and has shown it really cares about you. What advice would you give a friend in a parallel situation?

@Lynnski Thank you so much. Your comment was really helpfulā€¦UNC is truly where I belong, and the way you said to think of what Iā€™d tell a friend for sure has helped me to make my decision.

Iā€™m so pleased to let everyone know Iā€™ve just committed to attend UNC in the Class of 2024 with the Gap Year program prior to my attendance. OU is an amazing school, but after talking with my parents Iā€™ve determined my debt from UNC should be manageable.

Thank you so much to all of you, and Iā€™m so excited to become a member of UNC 2024. Go Tar Heels!!
