<p>Sorry about the cross-posting- just need some help on this one soon!</p>

<p>My sister is super-stressed about the decision she needs to make in the next 24 hours – Carleton or Whitman. She will be an English major (especially creative writing), loves choral music and musicals, wants to study abroad, and is not a drinker or sorority type. There are aspects about both colleges that she loves and those she fears. Financially, Whitman is advantageous due to a generous merit scholarship. She felt a bit more of a fit at Carleton, especially with the other kids on the minority weekend, many of whom are enrolling. She is worried, however, about the winter weather in Minnesota and being in a different time zone from her family. We live near LA and at this point she thinks she’d ultimately like to stay on the West Coast, though probably not too close to home. Thanks for your input!</p>

<p>Sounds like a toss up. Maybe someone can comment on winter in Walla Walla. How much of a hardship would the difference in scholarship create?</p>
