<p>I am a freshman at a small LAC in NY. I am from CT and am an economics major with an interest in statistics, etc.
I have been accepted to both UNC and UMich for the fall of 2013.
UNC has better weather, etc. I know the schools are very similar prestige wise. I was wondering if anyone could talk about either one of the schools in regard to student life or any other general thoughts?</p>
<p>Both are awesome, and have great Econ departments. Michigan is more than $10k more expensive than UNC. Is this a factor? If so, UNC is the winner. While I love Chapel Hill, I prefer Ann Arbor. Honestly, for Econ, you cannot go wrong at either school.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your reply! I was also just accepted into Washington University in St. Louis today, adding that into the mix. And money would not be a deciding factor in my decision.</p>
