UMD or UNC?

<p>Help! I need to make a decision by next week about UMD or UNC. I think UNC has the better school for communications, and I know people love it there, but I like UMD's proximity to my home, the fact that I'll know people there (I'm a transfer) and that it is near Washington/Baltimore.</p>

<p>Any opinions?</p>

<p>What's your major? Is money an issue?</p>

<p>my friend is giving up UNC for UMD is-state. he is a bio major so it really doesn't matter that much. Choose what you like best. I mean UMD has a great communications program and I doubt you'll get as many internship opportunities in UNC but UNC, as a whole, is more prestigious though and may lead to better jobs after graduating.</p>

<p>I have friends that want to do journalism. Where did you find that UNC had a better program? Are there any rankings?</p>
