<p>So i've narrowed my choices down to these two schools:</p>

<p>I need help deciding which school to attend...I have been accepted to both, UNC Greensboro is within driving distance (about 40 minutes) from my home BUT I am interested in living on campus since it is time I feel for me to get out of the house. I want to major in Media/Film studies which both schools have (although I have heard Wilmingtons is slightly better) and potentially double major or minor in either Business or Marketing.</p>

<p>I am conflicted though as originally I had thought I wanted to be a history/education major/minor, but my true passion is film torn between film and history and I have heard that UNCGs education major is superior to Wilmington</p>

<p>UNC Wilmington I would definitely have to live on campus due to the travel distance (3 hours) and I know I would love the area. Plus being away from home would give me the chance to grow and develop personally.</p>

<p>I posted this on the UNCG board too just to make sure I can get a blend of opinion...</p>

<p>Thanks for any help!</p>

<p>Have you made your decision already? i see your post was after the May 1 cutoff.</p>

<p>My son visited both schools this Spring. I can give you our opinion of each, if you are interested.</p>

<p>Sure I’d love to hear opinions I have seen UNC Greensboro and know a bit more about it since it is an hour away from where I live now and my sister went there</p>

<p>but I like the prospect of being able to be far away and sort of establish myself on my own, which Wilmington would offer…plus they blow away UNCG in the film department.</p>

<p>My son preferred UNCW to UNCG; in fact, UNCG is not on his list of schools he will apply to in the fall. UNCW is, although it isn’t his first choice. Plusses for UNCW were the self-contained campus, the proximity to the beach, and the number of students. The quality of students applying to UNCW is higher at his high school. UNCW would be a target school for him, while UNCG would be a safety. We are out of state.</p>
