USC vs. UNC for finance

I'm having a real hard time deciding between the two. I prefer UNC for various reasons (cost, location and college feel), but I am not guaranteed to enter the business school. USC on the other hand would be great, because my credits would transfer easily (I am a CCC student) and I am guaranteed to attend the business program. At the end of the day, I would choose USC, if I knew that I can get into IB. Both are not optimal... one might not let me get into business and the other would make finding an (east-coast) job hard. I'd really appreciate any information and feedback from you guys!

P.S. Assuming away location, do you guys think USC or UNC is better?
