for context, i’m an econ major planning to work in business post grad and plan to get my mba. i like a work hard play hard environment and money isn’t a big factor bc my family is expecting to get a pay increase that would change financial costs at northwestern.
unc
pros: weather, student culture, sports life, t10 undergrad business school (would be applying into), closer to home, nice community, strong alumni network
cons: currently more expensive, less prestige, a lot bigger so less resources
northwestern
pros: beautiful campus, good opportunities, higher prestige, near chicago, somewhat active sports culture, currently cheaper, more resources bc of size
cons: quarter system (i’m a big procrastinator), weather, distance from home (~12 hours and flying doesn’t fit in our budget often), lack of connection felt on campus, consensus that econ students at northwestern are extremely stressed and have no time for anything else, bad food
pls help decision day is tomorrow and im completely lost! i’ve already committed to unc but there’s time to change!
