<p>I got accepted into a couple of schools, and narrowed it down to 2 of them. It is between Union College (in Schenectady, NY) and Trinity College (in Hartford, Conn.). The only problem I have is that I can't decide which one I should go to. I know that I want to study economics in college, and that I want to go to a school that will prepare me for life and a career. I visited both and liked Trinity a little more, but not much. </p>
<p>Can anyone please give me some advice or help me decide? I am starting to get stressed out.</p>
<p>Visited both schools with my D this last year (although for full disclosure, she chose to attend another LAC). The schools are very close and you would get a great education at either school I’m sure, so the most important thing to do is pick the school where you feel most comfortable. A few comments would be: (1) Neither location is great – overall Hartford is more central and less in the snow belt but there was some incident on campus this year – in any urban location you must be careful and smart; (2) Union’s trimesters versus Trinity’s semesters – most people prefer semesters, but to some trimesters work better; (3) Trinity seemed a bit preppier when we visited; (4) if you don’t like snow/cold, then consider Union’s location carefully; (5) Union seemed very focused on the sciences to us. The truth is that you can’t make a bad choice. If you need to visit the schools again, try to make that happen. But if one feels right to you, if one school makes you stand a bit taller, feel a little more comfortable, and seems like you will find good friends there then go there. Some of it comes down to gut feelings in the end. Good luck.</p>
