<p>I've heard the prestige and being the "dream school" of NYU for many juniors and seniors...</p>
<p>On the other hand, UNC's been ranked in the first top five state-universities as well as top 20 U.S universities..</p>
<p>Numerous programs being offered in the UNC are also ranked in the first top five...</p>
<p>In term of prestige and overall performance of the two great universities, which one do you think is better?</p>
<p>NYU baby (cause I'm going there)! But UNC isn't too sabby. Depends on what you want from college. Both university are comparable but yet, they are so different.</p>
<p>Overall performance of the universities? NYU. But that's taking grad/prof schools into account.</p>
<p>For solely undergraduate, I'd say they're about even, though NYU is DEFINITELY not worth it if you can get UNC in-state.</p>
<p>As an international student wishing to study in the U.S, what do u suggest??</p>
<p>thx..</p>
<p>NYU is more prestigious in many areas other than north carolina. i would go there if you dont mind not having any kind of campus.</p>
<p>UNC Chapel Hill is a bargain, even OOS. Unless you HAVE to have a major city, I see very little point in choosing NYU. </p>
<p>
UNC's programs are every bit as good as NYU's, with the exception of business. This isn't just my bias- rankings support this.</p>
