Boston University vs George Washington University vs UBC?

College Search & Selection

I’ve been admitted to all three schools – UBC has given me a good entrance scholarship, GWU has offered me a substantial financial package for all 4 years, but I would be paying full tuition at Boston. I haven’t visited any of the campuses, as I’m an international student, but I have been to Washington DC as a child and remember liking the city itself.

I’ve also been waitlisted at UC Berkeley and Brown and am waiting to hear back. Right now, I’m leaning towards an IR major, but I’m still pretty undecided.

Given all of this, which school should I pick? How easy it to get internships at GWU? Also, I’ve heard some people say GWU lacks that college campus experience, although I’m not too concerned about that, but how true is it?

It’s true. But internships are available. What do you intend to study? And how do the economics play into the decision - other tha lower being better lol.

Thanks for the reply. I’m leaning towards international relations, so I’m hoping to get some good internships. The economics are important, but not the main deciding factor for me. Mostly just wondering if there’s any real college experience I’d be missing out on at GWU over Boston or UBC.
