I’m currently deciding between UNC Chapel Hill and Rutgers. I got into the Rutgers Honors College, which has a lot of perks like specialized classes and separate housing.
I will have to pay around 20,000 to UNC as an OOS student and around 9000 for Rutgers as an in state student.
I would choose UNC if it were just Rutgers, but the Honors College seems pretty inviting.
Thoughts???
How hard will it be for you to cover the cost of Rutgers? How hard will it be for you to come up with the extra 11k each year for UNC? Will you need to take on any debt beyond the standard federal loans? What about UNC seems so much better to you than Rutgers?
Rutgers is less than half the price for you, and the admit is to the Honors College. Choosing Rutgers looks like a no-brainer to me.
A few questions:
Have you visited both?
Can you easily afford either one?
Are you planning to attend grad school?
The cost of tuition for UNC is too high to make any benefit worthwhile. You’re better off at Rutgers.
