<p>I applied regular decision to UNC-CH and have not heard back yet but I am pretty confident that I will get accepted. So this post is assuming that I get into Chapel Hill.</p>
<p>I've made pros and cons lists for each school:
Pros (UNC-CH):
- Academics (especially in the sciences)
- I'm familiar with the campus/Chapel Hill/triangle area (I've lived here all my life)
- I have friends who go here
- Easier to get into a good grad school?</p>
<p>Cons (UNC-CH)
- I've lived in Chapel Hill forever-- It wouldn't feel like "college"
- Greek Life
- Sports environment (ugh)</p>
<p>Pros: (UNC-A):
- Campus
- Mountains (I love to ski!)
- Smaller school, smaller class sizes
- Friends/family nearby
- Would feel more like "college"
- The town of Asheville is way cooler than Chapel Hill, in my opinion
- Not a big sports environment/greek life</p>
<p>Cons: (UNC-A)
- Not as academically challenging especially for the sciences
- Harder to get into a good grad school?
- Not as reputable as UNC-CH</p>
<p>I feel like I would fit into both schools but I feel like going to UNC-CH wouldn't feel like anything new. UNC-CH would probably put me on a better footing after college but there aren't a lot of things that really jump out and interest me besides the academics. UNC-A, on the other hand, has less reputable academics but there are way more aspects of Asheville that really make me want to go there.</p>
<p>Money isn't an issue, they pretty much cost the same.</p>
