<p>Basically the discussion title. Which should I choose?</p>
<p>Both are beautiful schools with, in my opinion, much in common--mid-sized (as opposed to Princeton or any of the smaller liberal arts colleges) and situated on beautiful campuses, both have an array of divisional schools, both have a somewhat more pre-professional atmosphere. Greek life is also kind of a big deal at both C and NU. It goes without saying that both are obviously renowned for their academic rigor.</p>
<p>I have only the vaguest, murkiest idea of what I might want to study. Some days I feel like I'd be a great doctor, and other days I convince myself that I'm going to be a journalist, and then NU's Medill School of Journalism sounds like a good idea. Gender and Sexualities could be fun too....? Clearly I'm undecided. One thing I know for sure is that I want a liberal atmosphere where I can finally be myself, having attended a culturally conservative and elitist all-boys prep school in NYC for the last 6 years.</p>
<p>Other factors: My father actually works in nearby Utica and is thrilled at the possibility of my being so geographically nearby. We are still awaiting news of financial aid from both Universities.</p>
<p>Any thoughts? Thanks! </p>
