Brandeis vs. Vassar

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Now that I've found out which colleges have accepted me, I've more or less narrowed my decision down to either Brandeis or Vassar. I'm planning on pursuing a major in psychology, though I also have a lot of interest in philosophy as well. Money is not going to be in issue, in that it will more or less cost the same for both schools. I really like the atmosphere at Brandeis, but I can hardly say I dislike Vassar's. I'm really attracted to city life, but I'm tentative to let something like that influence my decision. I want to go to a college that will offer me good prospects as a post-grad.</p>

<p>I'm just really lost. I need some help.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance~</p>

<p>Go where you feel the most comfortable, which based on what you say seems to be Brandeis. I don’t think there is any appreciable difference in school quality/prestige between the two.</p>

<p>^ on academics, I agree–its a wash. But, when you leave campus, would you rather be just outside of Boston or Poughkeepsie?</p>

<p>Just to frame the question give you the answer :)</p>
