<p>Yeah, visiting the schools is the best option, its a lot better finding out about a school that way than hearing about it online. I know it was mentioned before, but I'll have to second it that if you want to visit Virginia during the school year id recomend the Monroe society. I visited during the fall through them and it worked out well.</p>
<p>They are both great schools and you cannot go wrong with either, that being said a few more facts that might make a difference.
-UVA is around 33% OOS, while (according to their website) UNC is around 18%, so if your out of state that might affect your descision making.
-UNC did beat UVA last night in basketball
-UVA is ranked higher on US News and other non-value ranked systems, but not by a large amount
-Ive heard Chapel Hill is a little bit nicer than Charlottesville, but i personally havent visited it</p>
