<p>My daughter was accepted to both and grants have brought them financially on par with one another. Anyone out there attended both and can give her a comparison from the inside? Her major will be poli sci with a strong interest in international law or policy. She would like to spend a year overseas as well.</p>
<p>"comparison" is a great word for this - both have strong programs, excellent law schools associated with them, beautiful campuses, etc, etc. As a matter of fact, if one university is teaching a course that the other one isn't, there is an inter-institutional agreement (among NCSU, UNC, and Duke) that you can take the course for credit at the other school - and there's a bus that goes between UNC and Duke to make things just that much easier.</p>
<p>One thing to do might be to look at the courses comprising the major at both schools as well as the faculties to see if there are are subject matter experts your daughter might want to work with. Both departmental websites list faculty by specialty.</p>
