<p>I was accepted into the University of Virginia, and it was one of my top choices. I was also admitted to UNC Chapel-hill. Both Universities seem to be great choices for me. But Uva is very special to me but i am a North Carolina resident so Chapel-hill would be ALOT cheaper. What should i do???</p>
<p>it depends on what you want to do. Both schools are VERY close to being similar in many aspects, but UNC would be the better choice due to price. Uva is pretty expensive for out of state students.</p>
<p>What do you want to study? This might help bring a difference between schools</p>
<p>UNC is overrated. I visited the campus this year, and didn't think it was worth the praise it recieved. But than again, maybe it's just me...</p>
<p>I was accepted into the college of arts and sciences, but i am totally undecided on my major. I really want to explore myself next year. So what do you guys think?</p>
<p>Charlottesville is a small city. There isn't much to do here. There is an air of racism that the city will never get above. There aren't any real clubs and the music scene is quite lacking. They list Charlottesville in the top 10 cities to live, don't buy it. How can C'ville be in the top 10 cities if it doesn't even have a club? It smells of a real estate scheme to me. I've lived here for 7 years now.</p>
<p>You live in North Carolina, so it all depends on how much going to UVa really means to you. Is it worth the extra tuition? If UNC has a solid studies program for your intended major, I would go there. If not, UVa might be the better choice. </p>
<p>Thus in the end, it all comes down to money issue and how much UVa "would allow you to become a better individual."</p>
<p>How about a comparison of the undergraduate business programs. which school has better job placement and better grad school placement?</p>
<p>Charlottesville is a great city, I don't know what spyderman24 is talking about in terms of racism and lack of music (what kind of music do you like, spyderman?! C-ville is known nationally for its great art and music scene!). We even have the most restaurants per capita of an US city. In any case Charlottesville should be a + not a - in terms of your choice (ecspecially when compared to Chapel Hill).</p>
<p>Spiderman is somewhat right about the racism, though. I"m not sure what you can do about that. Even the "diversity training" that first years have to go through doesn't really help that. I wonder why <em>rolls eyes</em></p>
<p>To barski: Spiderman is talking about clubs, not music. And he is right : because there's maybe one dedicated club in charlottesville, and It's just not my thing. But generally, whats done is they take a resteraunt or ballroom and transform it into a club. A LA club Rev, Rapture, etc. Rapture has dance parties almost every nite of the week. I went last nite, and it was fun, but somewhat sketch. </p>
<p>I haven't found the rave scene yet. . . i dont' know if there's one. If you want to dance party with a thousand people, ain't happening. But there's so much more to c-ville than clubs.
As an outdoor guy, i love all of the stuff i can do. I can go mountain biking 5 mins (by bike) away from my dorm, and kayaking is 15 (outdoor club). Skiing is 30-45 mins away. </p>
<p>I love c-ville.</p>
<p>b238: both undergrad business schools are very close in rank (if that is what you are looking for). UNC's Kenan-Flagler is ranked around #7, and UVa's McIntire is ranked around #9-10 according to USnews 2005.</p>
