<p>Hello everyone!</p>

<p>I am looking for help in choosing between UMich & UNC Chapel Hill. I have been accepted to the University of Michigan and I am waiting to hear back from UNC. I would like to be prepared to make my decision between the two should I be accepted to UNC as well!</p>

<p>I am going for a degree in Marketing. University of Michigan is currently ranked #1/#2 (depending on the source) in the nation for a Marketing degree. This makes me lean towards UM - and I would double major in International Studies as well. So I am definitely leaning toward UM. I have yet to look much into how well UNCs Marketing program is - and if there's anything like the International Studies program at UM - but I have heard that it is on par with UM's Ross School of Business.</p>

<p>What makes this difficult is that I am originally from NC. I moved to MI a couple years ago and I REALLY miss the weather there! Michigan weather is awful and depressing 5-8 months of the year. It already started snowing :( Not my style whatsoever. Might move back to NC - so picking between these two Universities is a crucial moment as I am approaching my Junior year.</p>

<p>However, I don't want to be superficial and base it off the weather. I need to think long term.</p>

<p>Here's my pros and cons:</p>

<p>UMich PROS:</p>

<ul>
<li>In-State Tuition Cost throughout.</li>
<li>Marketing program prestige</li>
<li>Double major of interest</li>
<li>Ann Arbor is a beautiful city and a great college town</li>
<li>Ross seemingly carries a heavier punch throughout the nation.</li>
</ul>

<p>CONS:
- The weather is TERRIBLE.</p>

<p>UNC Chapel Hill PROS:</p>

<ul>
<li>Beautiful weather</li>
<li>Academic reputation is on the same level as UMich (I won't get too much into opinions - let's just say they're very close)</li>
<li>Chapel Hills is also a beautiful place and great college town</li>
</ul>

<p>CONS:
- Out of State tuition for first year, then In State.</p>

<p>If you've gotten this far through my post - I would love it if you can help me decide/bring up anything I am not considering! Of course this is dependent on if I even get accepted to UNC, but like I said, I would like to be prepared!</p>

<p>Thanks all</p>

<p>Honestly, its undergrad, its only four years. Go to the best school that is cheap and deal with the terrible weather. Then when you get a good job out of college, move somewhere warm. </p>

<p>Umich is fun despite the weather and you will save money. </p>
