<p>Hi! I work at Rhodes and think that the best advice to give you is to encourage you to visit these schools. Your questions are good ones, and the answers that will be most convincing to you are the ones you arrive at yourself when you make the visits. Perhaps you’ve already visited some of these schools, perhaps all of them. If you’re serious about attending one, please visit again. When you visit, make sure that you have a chance to see how easy it is to be an independent student, to see how well you fit not only with the school but the town or city surrounding it, and to learn how well alumni from each school are doing in the career or schooling you plan to pursue after college. You’ve picked four good schools, and they’re different from each other. In some respects very different. Go visit them, and the best of luck to you.</p>
