PLZ HELP!! UNC-CH vs. GWU

<p>Hi!
So I was pleasantly surprised to have been admitted to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and The George Washington University yesterday...but I have no idea which to choose. Money is a factor, but I would like to first pick one without thinking about that. I am also planning to visit this month, but it's not certain so please, I need some outside input. I've been talking to some friends that go to both schools, but I need more input.</p>

<p>I want to study business, specifically International Business and do some language and foreign stuff to eventually have a career in some global company and then become a diplomat or ambassador of sorts.</p>

<p>So these are my thoughts of each school....</p>

<p>UNC:
-No. 7 (US News) for Overall Business, No. 2 (Businessweek) for International Business
-North Carolina is probably really peaceful and pretty
-Not sure about honors and aid yet... but it's a public school
-Definitely will be studying a lot
-I think I have to apply to the business school even though I was admitted into the university, so what if I enroll and then in a year find out I didn't get into business???</p>

<p>GWU:
-No. 5 International Business, but kind of weak overall
-Washington D.C!!! Need I say more?
-I also was admitted to the University Honors Program and received 20k from merit
-Hoping to get some good aid since I got into UHP and got Presidential Scholarship, and they are private. It's just me and one parent and AGI is just under 40K/yr
-automatically in business program</p>

<p>Please let me know your thoughts...I have no idea which to choose.</p>

<p>Visit the schools. Hopefully, you’ll do an overnight stay, talk to the students - not just about classes and grades but what they do and where they go in their free time, on weekends. That, combined with the FA offers, may make the decision easier. Congrats on the choices!</p>
