<p>I have a week to make my decision between these two schools and am totally stumped. I live in CA and hope to study psych and sociology, maybe international affairs. I was wondering the pros and cons of both schools and how the academics, social life, weather, school spirits, city, etc. match up. Thanks for any help offered.</p>
<p>Weather, city - huge nod to Boulder</p>
<p>School spirit, social life, academics - coin flip, little measurable difference</p>
<p>Not asked about job/post grad opportunities - probable slight nod to Syracuse if interested in the Northeast, probable slight nod to Boulder from Midwest - West.</p>
<p>Transportation cost will be low if you go to CU-Boulder.</p>
<p>Thank you for your posts</p>
