Schools: Bryn Mawr vs. UNC
Intended major: Economics/Sociology/Education
Similarities:

  • Both are giving me a full ride LMAO

Bryn Mawr
Pros:

  • I love Philly and how accessible the city is
  • The queer culture
  • Great resources for getting internships and work experience
  • The close-knit community and consortium with Haverford + Swarthmore
    Cons:
  • Might be too small?
  • Not large enough for me to excuse the lack of diversity in the student body
  • Double majoring is difficult

UNC Chapel-Hill
Pros:

  • I would love the large school atmosphere solely because I won't feel alone as a FGLI and POC student
  • Great for economics and double majoring isn't too hard
  • Great career prospects (college advising)
    Cons:
  • I hate North Carolina and I under no circumstance want to live here
  • Not as walkable as Bryn Mawr and Philly
  • Southern descrimination
  • I might hate large classes

Tiebreakers:

  • The quality of life at Bryn Mawr vs. UNC: I want a good balance of academics with career preparation and social life, the last thing I want is to be studying 80 hours a week.
  • Where alumni end up: I want to live in a walkable city and staying in NC is not my goal.

If you hate North Carolina and don't want to live there under any circumstance, Bryn Mawr seems like the no-brainer LOL

I feel like the cons of UNC make the choice clear - also, your job opportunities are always going to be the greatest closest to your university and if you don't want to stay in NC that diminishes one of your pros of UNC
