Hi guys! So I am really torn between GWU and Emory right now. I want to study international affairs/political science or Econ. Both schools offered me merit aid so financially the two schools are roughly equivalent. At first I was worried about the small size of Oxford-Emory(I was accepted to the Oxford-Emory campus, so my first two years are spent in a smaller liberal arts type school 50mins from Atlanta) but after visiting both Oxford and the Emory Atlanta campus I fell in love. Nonetheless, I am extremely concerned about the lack of opportunities at Emory for internships in my field (International Affairs/Poli Sci). Does the higher academic standing of Emory and more traditional college feel outway the more prominent GW international affairs studies and internship opportunities? I love the energy of DC and GW, but I also love the more laid-back academia focus of Emory/Oxford. I seriously feel like I could like both schools, so any opinions are welcome, and opinions about general school environment and what not are welcome! Thanks for the help guys, I need to decide in two weeks!
P.S: I keep thinking I can just do my masters in DC or NY, but I don’t know if that is a valid argument as I am not even certain that I am going to get my masters
