please help !</p>

<p>Academically, the schools are peers so it should come down to personal fit. Figure out what you want out of your college experience. If you want D-1 sports, large parties/tailgates, school spirit, etc. go to Vanderbilt. If you want to experience St. Louis and a more mellow college experience I’d pick WashU. Definitely visit the schools before you chose. </p>
