<p>Hi, so I've just been accepted into NYU CAS as a spring transfer 2010, but I also have deferred admission into UVa for fall 2010. How in the WORLD do I decide?</p>
<p>Some things to consider:
1. I'm primarily studying political science and philosophy, possible minor in law and society.
2. I'm from CA so either way it's expensive, so please disregard the cost when evaluating the better school as that is not a determining factor at the moment.
3. I was born and raised in Orange County and it's beautiful, but I'm bored. I lived in London last semester on a study abroad program and absolutely loved living in the city.
4. I've visited NYC many times and love it, but I've never visited the school. I've never been to UVa, Cville, or Virginia for that matter, so I don't know what to think about living there. However, I've visited UNC-CH a few times, which I love, and I'm told it is similar to UVa.*
5. If I don't go to NYU this spring I have to go back to Cal State Fullerton for the semester while I wait to go to UVa (not the end of the world, but not at all ideal). If I do go to NYU this spring, I have to move across the country, attend orientation, enroll in classes, and avoid having an anxiety attack, all in less than 30 days (again, it can be accomplished, but it isn't the best case scenario).</p>
<p>*Arranging to visit the campuses is not a problem, but the biggest problem is that I'm very, very short on time. I either have to send my enrollment deposit to NYU for this spring within a few weeks or send my fall semester transcripts to UVa to keep my spot for next fall.</p>
<p>Yeah. So, all opinions welcome. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.</p>
