<p>I'm deciding which school to ED to, and I'm really stuck! I would love any perspectives or opinions I can get!</p>
<p>I am interested in psychology and cognitive science, but am not going premed.</p>
<p>Here's where I am at right now:</p>
<p>Wash U Pros:
seemingly happy, friendly students
food
dorms
greek presence
PNP program
merit scholarships
more accessible from home (hour plane ride)
beautiful campus
ballet minor</p>
<p>Wash U Cons:
too many premeds? Just what I have heard, don't really know about this. Would love an insiders perspective
St. Louis
name recognition
too many Jewish people? Again, just what I have heard. Is this a dominating culture? I'm not Jewish. Do Jewish guys not date Jewish girls?
unattractive student body? Another rumor. When I visited, I didn't observe this, but what do you think?
lack of sports spirit</p>
<p>Brown Pros:
open curriculum
happy students
not a dominating race or religion
more even distribution of interests (not premed heavy)
name recognition
attractive student body (from what I have heard). This isn't super important, but just something that keeps coming up.
cognitive science major
period where you can test classes</p>
<p>Brown Cons:
food
dorms
further from home (4 hour plane ride)
very small greek presence
too many hippies? Another stereotype. What do you think?
too intellectual? Sometimes I don't like to be smart and academic all the time haha, if that makes sense.</p>
<p>PLEASE give me any help you can! I think I would be happy at either school, but I just really need to make a decision and I will greatly appreciate any input. Thanks!</p>
