<p>Hey, I'm a transfer for a local community college (had to go for financial and personal reasons). </p>
<p>Anyway, I've been accepted to USC and UNC. For USC I've been accepted into the Marshall School and UNC the College of Arts and Science. Which one would be the better choice? Also, I'm a minority so which school will be more diverse and all that? I've only been out of Texas (home state) a handful of times for conferences and extracurricular related stuff, so I'm pretty clueless about the social scenes at both schools.</p>
<p>I want to be an entrepreneur. Which school would give me more opportunities to study abroad and all that as a transfer. I also enjoy smaller classes (coming from a CC). Any suggestions? I won't have an opportunity to visit either of these schools before hand. </p>
<p>I've received an outside scholarship so the two are comparable when it comes to costs.</p>
<p>South Carolina - their international business school is top 5 in the country.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No one cares about THAT USC (jk, of course).</p>
<p>Southern Cal will be more racially diverse and has a great entrepreneurship program. UNC is great but USC seems to be more suited for you.</p>
<p>I agree that USC seems like the better fit here with its strong undergraduate business school and high racial and socioeconomic diversity that mirrors the demographics of its home state California.</p>
<p>Yeah now I realized I had the wrong USC. I change my vote to Southern Cal.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that I’m relatively poor, would USC still be a good option?</p>
<p>yes, USC would be the better option, especially if the $$ is equal.</p>
<p>If you are confident that you can attain the grades to transfer into Kenan-Flagler, I would not discount that option. I don’t think you are allowed to transfer directly into the business school – so keep that in mind. Within the school, you can have an emphasis in entrepreneurship:</p>

<p>or a minor in entrepreneurship through the College of Arts and Science:</p>

<p>KF is a strong business school and also regularly provides partial scholarships for immersion experiences abroad during the summer or academic year (e.g. Dubai, or a tour of Germany’s green tech industry). </p>
<p>I know it’s rather late to be making a decision but I wouldn’t rush in. I would suggest visiting the schools if you have a chance.</p>
<p>If I went to UNC, I’d probably major in Information Science and minor in Entrepreneurship. No point of trying to being an entrepreneur with no actual skills, haha. Do you know how difficult it is to get into Information Science at UNC?</p>
<p>The Information science program is arguably one of the best in the nation so that’s not a bad way to go in lieu of the business school. Anecdotal evidence suggests that it is not as difficult as KF (~3.5 UNC GPA) but more difficult than some of the other professional programs (e.g. Journalism school, low 3 UNC GPA).</p>
<p>I’d rather do Info Sci, minoring in Entrepreneurship if I went to UNC. If I went to USC I’d probably do Business concentrating in Entrepreneurship and minor in econ. My only concern is, how are the opportunities to study abroad and all that at UNC? </p>
<p>I know that they’ve been having some budget problems, so I don’t want to put myself at a disadvantage right off the bat. And getting into K-F as a transfer is even more difficult than the 50% acceptance would imply. Or so I’ve heard.</p>
<p>Exploring this site might give you a better idea: [Study</a> Abroad at UNC](<a href=“http://studyabroad.unc.edu/studyabroad.cfm]Study”>http://studyabroad.unc.edu/studyabroad.cfm)</p>
<p>There are several semester tuition exchange programs located around the world. You pay UNC tuition and the foreign school puts you full time in their classes. Or you can opt for class/travel study abroad experiences in the summer.</p>
<p>Use the ‘Find a program’ function and you can sort by location, cost etc.:</p>

<p>If you want to study abroad, it will happen.</p>
<p>Are there any opportunities during the breaks? (Spring Break, Winter Break)? Also, are there school sponsored internships available if I don’t want to necessarily study abroad? I’m also concerned about the cost of living at both places. I’m guessing Chapel Hill would be cheaper?</p>
