<p>Im from new jersey interested in math and business, maybe consulting/actuary in the future. Ive listed my pros and cons about each school and still cannot make a decision. Please tell me your thoughts and help me decide.</p>

<p>Northwestern (interested in MMSS, Kellogg certificate)
Pro: Amazing academics, great in economics/math, Chicago, Big ten football, quarter system allows for flexibility, great greek life, good town in evanston
Cons: Way more expensive, weather, more stressful, father away</p>

<p>UNC (Double major Business/Mathematical Decision Sciences)
Pro: Good academics, Inexpensive-great value, amazing athletics, perfect college town, great nightlife, more spirit/school pride, great weather
Con: No big city nearby, not as prestigious, not that many kids from out of state (might feel like an outsider), less recruiting for jobs after college</p>

<p>I think UNC, because it’s cheaper and it is most definitely prestigious.</p>

<p>^ lol at northwestern waitlistee</p>

<p>I hate making generalizations, but I think in general Northwestern is more prestigious (and the special programs are great), but if UNC is cheaper I would definitely consider it if money is an issue. However, if you succeed at Northwestern and get a Kellogg certificate or MMSS, you will very highly sought after - but UNC definitely provides plenty of job opportunities as well.</p>
