GW or BC??

Colleges and Universities A-Z George Washington University

<p>I was accepted to both and am extremely excited and grateful.</p>

<p>I plan to major in history and/or political science. </p>

<p>GW offered me a scholarship. It's located in DC - the best city in the US for political science, and probably history too. I have lots of relatives that live around DC too, and since my family lives internationally, it'd be nice to have them there for holidays/thanksgivings and stuff. </p>

<p>However, I feel like BC is 'right' for me. I like the campus feel, the cold winters, the school spirit, and I think academically BC is stronger. Also, BC is more 'prestigious'.</p>

<p>I'm also worried about what people say about GW having snobby, upper class fake kids.</p>

<p>Any thoughts? I love GW, don't get me wrong, and I really liked it when I visited it... But I'm leaning towards BC because I feel I want the more 'traditional' college experience, even though GW may (?) be better for my major.</p>

<p>Hi, I am a parent. My daughter was also accepted by GW and is considering it, but last on the list. We went to BC prior to applying. While my daughter preferred BU over BC (and was also accepted at BU), I thought BC was great. Smaller, more prestigious. But, the key- you said it - “your gut”. If your gut is saying BC- regardless of what your planned major is- go BC. Know many who have gone to BC and cannot say enough good things about the school. </p>

<p>BC, you said it is the one that is “right” for you and that is where you should be spending the next four years of your life</p>
