<p>Colby is beautiful, no doubt in my mind. Binghamton costs about a third. Does the price of Bingamton out-weigh the beauty and prestige of Colby? Feel free to im me with responses.</p>
<p>I have visited both. If I could get the money without excessive debt, I would go to Colby-the beauty would outweigh a lot for me but I think it is 1) a financial reality decision and 2) depends on assessment of your personal priorities. Colby would also give you the opportunity for more personal attention from profs. I don't think prestige makes that big a difference in this case. In English, for example, Binghamton has a good rep.</p>
