Help me decide: UVA (OOS) vs. Georgetown vs. WashU

Hi, so I know these threads are annoying, but I am having a really tough time deciding. I have toured all of these schools and I am trying to revisit them as well. I am really undecided about what I want to major in, but I am interested in economics/government/business. I am in the college of arts and sciences at each of these schools. I am a very social guy, and I definitely want to have a nice mix of academics and social life. Here are some of the pros and cons for each school

UVA:

Pros:
-Best social life of the three schools
-Lots of school spirit/big sports teams
-Beautiful campus
-Near the blue ridge mountains (I am fairly outdoorsy)
-Mcintire is really good and the Batten school seems interesting as well

Cons:
-I think I would like joining a frat, but I don’t really want to go to a school where greek life is divisive/exclusive
-Mcintire/Batten are selective

  • not very diverse?

Georgetown:

Pros:
-Nice mix of social life/academics
-Hoya pride
-Nice campus and location in DC
-Lots of guest lectures/events happening

Cons:
-seems pretty similar to the environment I am coming from in New England (prep school)
-Facilities aren’t as nice as at the other schools?

WashU:

Pros:
-Best kept/most beautiful campus
-best food and dorms
-lots of versatility between schools
-more welcoming greek life
-would be a new experience to go to school in the midwest

Cons:
-No D1 sports
-seems less social than the other two schools

All of these schools are affordable, so costs aside, which one would you choose and why?

Cost aside I’d go with Georgetown. It’s a great school with an even better location (especially for what you’re interested in).

Thanks for the input!

I agree, costs aside, Gtown would be my choice.

Mmm, this is a rough decision. Honestly for me it’d be mostly between Georgetown and Wash U and I think I’d lean towards Georgetown. It seems to have the best combination of the things that you want.

WashU is very solid, maybe even a tad underrated, but it’s in St. Louis, and given what you want to do, that alone would make me pivot to DC.

I am trying to narrow down to two choices, do you think I should eliminate UVA?

I would…

I would, too.
