Does Prestige Actually Matter? [UChicago vs Middlebury vs Temple]

<p>If there is no real difference in the cost of going to any of these 3 colleges, AND she wants the flexibility of not having to major in linguistics, then she should choose Chicago. Chicago’s language program is one of the strongest in the nation, and she WILL have more of a chance to do research at Chicago than at Temple or Middlebury , which could be very critical to med school admission.
I’d say Chicago is a no-brainer.
She may be a little anxious about going away to college right now- the reality that she WILL be leaving has probably just hit her[ and that anxiety is perfectly normal right now] , but by Sept she will be ready to go!</p>
