Help Me Decide: UMich or WashU?


Top Choices

Washington University in St. Louis: Arts & Sciences
University of Michigan - Ann Arbor: Literature, Science, and the Arts

Assume that cost is not a factor.


Academic Interests

Economics, pre-law/legal studies, and computer science.
I love all three, and have not decided on one yet.


Preferences

Size: 4,000 to 10,000, but I can deal with more.
Academic Rigor: Challenging classes are a must, regardless of which of the three academic interests I pursue.
Social Life: I’m looking for work hard/play hard. I don’t mean “study 24/5 and get trashed 24/2.” Interesting and varied social activities are better than nightly keggers, but parties must be available too. Extracurricular activities and events would be good.
Sports: I don’t care. Intramurals would be nice.
School Spirit: An advantage but not necessary.
Employment and Grad School: Important.
Surrounding Area: Suburban would be best. Enough shops, restaurants, activities, and events to keep me busy but not lost.
Student Personality: Friendly, active, and intelligent people.

Please do not respond unless you are familiar with both schools. Also, please mention why you recommend a particular school.

Thanks guys!
