<p>i need your help and would be forever indebted to your assistance.</p>
<p>i've posted in other forums about my situation in choosing between bard and chicago. i think i prefer chicago but bard is giving me ~$36,000/yr and chicago only $13,000/yr.
how would you describe your first-hand experience at these colleges? the academics? the student body? the social scence?
i know all the generalizations and reputations, but i want real student opinions.</p>
