Answer 1

The University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill is one of the best public universities in the country. US News ranks it at #28.

It is an excellent choice.

The other UNC satellite campuses aren't quite as good.

Answer 2

Most likely, your college experience will lay groundwork for your career, not necessarily give you the skills to specialize in one field. As long as you attend a good university and get good grades, especially in your psychology major, you can then attend graduate school.. Graduate schools do not discern upon the merit of an undergraduate psyc programs b/c you learn the important skills such as those to become a counselor in your graduate program. I am currently looking to apply to grad schools and I have a psyc major and basically what is important is:
*good GPA (AT LEAST 3.0 or B average)
*good GPA in your major classes (all your psyc classes - get those grades as high as you can_
*assisting in graduate experiments - they will probably tell you this in all your undergrad classes and offer chances to be an assistant (this way, you get more experience, credit, and a letter of recommendation)
so for now, concentrate on getting into a good university that offers a variety of psyc classes and then worry about specialization your last 2 yrs of college when you are an upperclassman and closer to graduate school.

GOOD LUCK! its great that you are thinking ahead! :)
