<p>I’m having a hard time deciding which to choose.</p>
<p>I want to study Astronomy and Physics, BU offers both but Brandeis offers only physics. Is it worth it to go to brandeis and skip out on astronomy? Or will it not really matter since I plan to go to grad school anyway? </p>
<p>I’m leaning toward BU, but I know Brandeis is better know and is a better school academically.
What I like about BU is that it has a BU has a five-year MA in astronomy and physics and also has a study abroad program in geneva with CERN. Brandeis offers an interesting five year physics/engineering major which includes 3 years of physics study at brandeis and 2 years of engineering at columbia (which I got rejected from). Brandeis also has a biophysics major which I think is pretty cool</p>
<p>Both schools offered me good aid packages, it will cost about the same to go to either of them. However, BU gave me renewable merit aid while for brandeis I only know what i will get for the first year.</p>
<p>Which sounds like a better choice? I think I prefer BU but I don’t really know much about brandeis so any advice you have is appreciated</p>
<p>ive also posted this in the brandeis and general college threads</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
