<p>Hey, everyone. I am an international student and have been accepted by both of them as a junior transfer. I will be a stat/math major.</p>
<p>To me in general UVA sounds more prestigious than UNC, not sure for my major, but UVA will cost me $10K more than UNC every year.</p>
<p>My parent told me money is not a problem because I can earn it back if I get a decent job after graduate. To me it looks like UVA graduate e will find a job easier than UNC graduate because UVA is closed to D.C (correct me if I am wrong), and getting a decent job is the most important reason why I transfer to these two schools.
Please help me to decide one. Any information will be appreciated.</p>
<p>The area directly around UNC (the RTP) is far more developed than Charlottesville, but UVA is closer to DC. Grads from either school could probably work in either place.</p>
<p>The two have similar reputations for math.</p>
<p>You can’t go wrong either way. I would choose the cheaper option, being UNC in your case.</p>
<p>uva is ever so slightly more prestigious, but its not enough to make the difference between if an employer will higher you or not. unless you think uva is a much better fit for you than unc for reasons outside what uve mentioned so far, id save the $40,000 and go to unc. congrats on getting in to two great schools btw.</p>
<p>Thanks! any more information and suggestion?</p>
