Thanks in advance.

Both P/F
Both out of State, so I would have to move regardless
Both offering about ~$30k per yr in scholarships ( UAB slightly cheaper)
Both has similar rankings
Both great programs
Both great interview and second look experiences.
Not being able to visit due to COVID, makes my feel for the surrounding environment limited. I prefer a warmer and urban environment, however, I'm flexible.

I am truly struggling to decide between these two. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
*UAB- Birmingham Campus
*UVA - Charlottesville Campus

Just pick based on location and call it a day.

Yeah, I agree with @Banco. Also want to add that you said you prefer a warmer and urban environment...so all other things being equal, choose UAB. Also, you said it's slightly cheaper, so that's nice too.

Thank you very much. Husband is leaning towards UAB as well, since cost of living is cheaper. The ease of being able to take my exams anywhere/anytime between Friday-Sunday, made attending UVA more appealing. However, both schools seem to offer similar benefits. 🙂
