<p>I am out of state for both and want to pursue business.</p>
<p>Which one is better for northerners? I am from New York. Will I feel like an outsider at either/both? </p>
<p>Which one is more fun, etc.? </p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
<p>UVa has a much higher out of state population than UNC. That means many more people from NY state and other northeastern states. Also, the additional distance of UNC discourages many northerners from attending. At the same, many N. Carolina residents are not native, and many of them came from the Northeast.</p>
<p>Does Virginia have as much school spirit as North Carolina?</p>
<p>Hi jjj123,</p>
<p>UVa has tons of school spirit – from sports to our pride in our world-renowned architecture to our unique history esp. with the 3 US Presidents who worked to establish UVa (Jefferson, Madison & Monroe) to our secret societies. </p>
<p>As someone living in NYC, I would pick UVa over UNC. UVa has a stronger reputation and network outside of the South. You should read my long post in the “UVa or Notre Dame” thread. Although it compares the University of Georgia with UVa, in many ways I would apply it to UNC as well. I will admit though that UNC is far more prestigious than UGA, and in the South, UNC is considered on par with UVa. Outside of the South, UVa is more well-known (well, with the exception of basketball).</p>
<p>jjj, any idea what kind of business you want to pursue? What is your financial situation? UNC is a bit cheaper for out of staters so once you answer these questions I can give you a better answer.</p>
<p>jjj123 - The following article speaks about a proposed tuition increase for OOS (12.3%) by the Gov of NC. Obviously proposals often never come to fruition, however if I were you I’d want to look into this a little further and at least know that these types of things are being discussed and are a possibility.</p>

<p>Thank you everyone for your responses! </p>
<p>Knights, I’m not quite sure what kind of business I want to pursue, but probably finance.
Money isn’t an important factor in my college decision.</p>
<p>If you want to study business, [UVa</a> is stronger than UNC.](<a href=“Bloomberg - Are you a robot?”>Bloomberg - Are you a robot?)</p>
<p>If you have an interest in finance, UVA should be your choice. We place stronger than UNC (and I say this as someone with personal experience), especially in NYC.</p>
<p>Go to UVA. Smartest party school by a nose:</p>
<p>BuzzFeed mapped out where most of Fiesta Frog’s “Top 100 Schools To Party At” stand on Forbes’ “America’s Top Colleges” list. Looks like the people who party the most (near the top of the graph) know how to crack a book once in a while too. The lower half of the party list does seem to have a few slackers, though.</p>
<p>And the winners, for most combined partying prowess and academic rigor:</p>
<ol>
<li>University of Virginia (#22 party & #36 academic).</li>
<li>University of North Carolina (#25 party & #47 academic).</li>
<li>Colgate University (#31 party & #48 academic).</li>
</ol>
<p>Hi, can you link that Buzzfeed list ?</p>
<p>A UVa satirical student newspaper just described UVa students as the highest performing alcoholics in the US. Funny, but also worrying.</p>
