Hello! I’m a senior who is having trouble deciding between five schools for different reasons. I want somewhere where I can get a great science education, but also have a comfortable, nurturing environment, and opportunities for internships and travel abroad. I’m deciding between Caltech, Johns Hopkins, rice, Dartmouth, and Carleton college. Any advice or experience is much appreciated! I’m not leaning towards anything right now and and I need to decide soon! Thanks so so much in advanced!
Caltech will give you the best science education if you’re not afraid of working hard for it. All the professors I’ve met there are great, but the problem sets might haunt you during your sleep.
