<p>My son has gotten into both schools and likes both of them a lot. He has a pretty wide range of interests, including music, computers and technology and several others. Now that he's been accepted and is trying to make a decision, we're both trying to compare the schools and find out which is a better fit. Is there anyone on here at least somewhat familiar with both who can help us out with advantages and disadvantages of both?</p>
<p>I would go with lawrence.</p>
<p>Better student body, better music, better atmosphere and better academics.</p>
<p>I can only speak for LU. My son will be graduating in June. He has loved his four years and I think from the viewpoint of a parent that this is a transformational school especially for those with multi-tiered interests. The Students are in good hands overall.</p>
<p>I believe Depauw has a large Greek presence, unlike Lawrence. This could also be a factor in your decision.</p>
