<p>Both ESG and Concourse are awesome programs. Basically, what Mollie said.</p>
<p>I think the main difference between ESG and Concourse, to make a gross generalization, is that ESG has a more “east campus” feel, while Concourse is more “west campus”. Not that you should choose one over the other based on your living group, but that’s just the feeling I get from knowing people in both programs. But you should check them both out during orientation, and choose based on where you, personally, feel more comfortable. </p>
<p>Also, I think Concourse classes are a little bigger (maybe ~20 people), whereas ESG is even smaller than that (you might have a class with 5 or 6 people). And the classes you can take in each one vary slightly (the HASS classes are different, Concourse only has 3.091 and no 18.01…). </p>
<p>And it is possible to do an advising seminar plus a learning community. (I’m sure about that in ESG, and 99% sure in Concourse…).</p>
