Intended Major: Business
UNC Chapel Hill
Pros
- Full ride
- Love the school spirit
- I have family that live near there incase I need something
- I got a good vibe from the people when I visited
- Got assured acceptance into the Business School
- I feel like I'd the "true college" experience
- Good academics, ranked really well in business
Cons - Might feel a little limited by the campus
- Most people going there know one another so I may feel like an outcast
- Isn't in/near a city
- I heard some people say there isn't that much to do after you visit everything franklin street has to offer.
- Not sure how great the opportunities are in recruitment for business at this school
Northeastern
Pros - In the city, which I've always wanted to live in esp since I grew up in a stricter household
- Got into their Honors Program, which comes with a lot of perks
- Their coop program and as a business major would put me in better standings when applying for jobs
- Also have family close by
- I like how for business, u take an introductory course for each concentration which would allow me to see what sector of business i actually fit into
Cons - I heard that the school feels like an airport? due to the coop program and people constantly leaving
- I guess wouldn't feel like the generic college experience?
- Less school spirit, esp since no football
- 11k a year, not a full ride but i could try to get more financial aid
I'm just worried about missing out on the opportunities that the coop program could give me and but at the same time I feel as though I have the rest of my life after college to work in jobs and should reserve college to find myself/focus on academics.
Congrats on all your acceptances!! Tbh I would def go to UNC. A full ride to UNC is absolutely awesome and it will open doors to so many opportunities. While it may be true that many students in the incoming class know each other because they are in-state, don’t forget that in-state students also have to make friends with other in-state students coming from different HS and that many out of state students will also be looking for new friends. In terms of business opportunities as well, Chapel’s Kenan Flagler Business School is a T10 business school that is renowned nationally and does very well in recruiting. While it may not be in a big city, it is very close to other towns and cities like Durham and Raleigh, which make up the amazing research triangle. If I were you, I’d definitely choose Chapel over Northeastern in a heartbeat. A full ride to a T30 is absolutely insane! Congrats once again!
Yes agreed do not worry about unc-ch Buisness opportunities, in fact I think that they should definitely be better than northeastern
Also I would say one thing, UNC-CH is near enough to Durham for it to be register as at least "near a city"
