damn...macalester vs. brandeis

<p>i thought the process of choosing a school was over. i recently enrolled at brandeis after being admitted off their waiting list however i just got a call from macalester saying im being admitted off their waiting list too. </p>

<p>i was really interested in macalester before all of the college decisions came out, but after i was waitlisted i didnt think much about it. now i have to decide if i want to fly out to visit macalester or just stick with brandeis. </p>

<p>any opinions on the differences between the two schools?</p>

<p>It is up to ur personality and major e.g. for econ. Mac by far better in all aspects (internships, econ deparment etc..) I was going to choose between carleton, mac and brandeis and for me brandeis was the first uni to be crossed out. Although it has a really nice college student friendly environment I didn't like the feeling about that place. Lots of jewish names and feeling of a university which I didn't prefer to a LAC spirit. If you be more illustrative I think I can help more. As I have told before these two were my top choices with Carleton.</p>

<p>I'm not familiar with Macalester, but I just finished by first year at Brandeis and loved it. I made great friends, love my professors and am very involved on campus especially with the Newspaper and Jewish stuff (not sure if you're interested in Jewish life -- but if you're not, it's never ever forced upon you). I truly am so happy here; PM if you have any more questions.</p>
