Decision:
Given your situation, the decision hinges on weighing the financial implications against the potential professional advantages. If the UMich brand and network significantly align with your career goals and you believe the financial investment is justifiable, UMich could be the right choice. However, if minimizing debt and maintaining financial flexibility is a priority, and you're confident in leveraging your internship experience, UNC offers a compelling option.
Remember, your performance in the internship and your ability to network effectively can often outweigh the school's name in securing full-time offers. Both schools have strong programs, and your success will ultimately depend on how you leverage the opportunities they provide.

Why would you transfer if you already have a BB IB internship?
Having a better name on your resume will help long term 11/10 times. Go to Michigan. More prestigious, greater opportunities. The proximity to Ross will also be a benefit. You cannot go wrong by choosing Michigan.
Agreed, go to Michigan
i don't like it here at all & although i'm super fortunate to get a job, many others haven't as sophomores. to that end, my school is super focused on being professional and landing an offer which just contributes to a toxic environment.
while i understand that leaving this school won't solve my problems, i think it'll remove a portion of them
Thats valid then. Do what will make you most happy + prestige is an added bonus
Same situation; UNC vs. UMich vs. CMU for transfer, and am leaning to Michigan right now despite UNC being a holistically better experience
