<p>I have narrowed my colleges down to two wonderful options of schools to choose between. But I only have 3 days to decide and I still have no idea of what to do!
I am a current Senior at Garfield High School, a large intercity public high school in Seattle, WA
Both are within a few hundred dollars of eachother financially each year, so that does not really sway anything.
Both are small liberal arts schools (Whitman is a bit smaller than Mac)
Both seem to have fabulous people though I know more people at Whitman and they are really happy
Academically they both have great professors, small classes and everything that a good liberal arts college has.
Mac is more "globally" focused- not quite sure how this translates at the school
Technically Mac is ranked higher, lower acceptance rate than Whitman- but this is not that different a margin and is not that important to me
Whitman would be a safer bet as I am almost positive I would be really happy there (again- I have a few friends who go there from highschool and love it) but I think Mac would be more of mysterious option that could be a hit or a miss</p>
<p>Can current students please illuminate on the school vibe/culture at each school? In terms of stats and academics they seem pretty equal. But it is hard to get an idea of the type of students/level of happiness at each. Thanks I really appreciate the help! </p>
