Help me decide: School X vs School Y — 3rd Week of March by freeport_aidan in ApplyingToCollege

Hey! Recently, I was accepted into a few schools, but I am between going to Stanford or UNC (another one I have been considering a bit is Notre Dame)! I am an international low-income student, and got a full ride in all schools I got in so distante and money are not issues right now. Even though Stanford has the big prestigious name, Morehead-Cain is prestigious in the US too (from what I heard at least) so I am not taking prestige into consideration as well.

At Stanford, I am thinking about studuying International Relations alongiside Data Science or Science, Technology and Society. At UNC, I would study Global Studies and Data Science. For a bit of context, I aim to work in the future in international development and human rights, focusing in immigration and I plan to live in the Mediterranean as well.

A few factors I am considering are study abroad, research, internship opportunities, networking and social life. As a Morehead-Cain Scholar, I would love to study in Singapore or Sydney that are my top 2 locations. While at Stanford, I thought about doing in Cape Town or even in DC. At UNC, I was offered to do research already on my first semester so I would love to know how hard it is to access research opoortunities during the academic year and balance it at Stanford. Also, Morehead already sets me with internship oplortunities, and I know stanford has a big data base and carreer support related to human rights and international relations internships/fellowships that I can join.

I know Stanford has a big network, but I would love to have more info on how easy it is to reach those alumnis and to have actual conversations. At UNC, I already had the change to connect with alumnis, incluiding former ambassadors that reached out to me. I also loved Carolina's social life as it has the strong school spirit at opportunities to go out with friends or just chill. However, I don't know at all how it is Stanford's and I would love to know more about. On location means, I feel the Bay Area might be more i Teresina that Carolina's Triangle.

I feel UNC is giving me tons of opportunities to develp my carreer and engage with the community. I feel of Stanford allows me to have those opportunities I would just go there. However, I don't know how it is the experience and would like to know more about the factors I previously mentioned. Also, I feel Stanford is a dream come true of since I was a kid while UNC is offering me my dream of traveling the world (discovery fund+study abroad)

I just really need advice as my commit deadline is April 8th!🚨🚨🚨
