Holy Cross or Lafayette??

<p>Right now I'm desperately trying to decide between these schools. Yesterday I visited Holy Cross. I loved the campus, and I'm sure academically, it's great. The only problem was the music department left something to be desired. Furthermore, where I asked to speak with a professor or music teacher of some sort, they set me up with a secretary. Luckily, a student was nice enough to stop by and help me out. It was still a little weird that no professor at all could take two minutes to answer a few easy questions- instead I got stuck with a worker who really didn't know much about what I was interested in. </p>

<pre><code> Tomorrow, I leave to visit Lafayette. I think that this school would be about the same academic level, and that socially, the two are comparable as well; however, from what I understand, the music department here is much better. Where Holy Cross's largest ensemble is a chamber orchestra, Lafayette has many ensembles including a concert band that I'm very interested in.

Overall, I just want to know if anyone at all has any input. I'm looking into psychology/neuroscience. Is one program much better than another, and I'm just not aware of it? Did I get the wrong impression of either school's music program? I would seriously seriously appreciate any help anyone could give

<p>I cannot speak to the Music dept at Holy Cross but the psychology department is highly regarded. A classmate of mine went on to get a PhD in clinical psychology at University of Wisconsin-Madison and is now a psychology professor at Vanderbilt.</p>
