<p>I wasn't sure where to post this but need some advice from the wise members of CC.</p>
<p>I was accepted to all but one college on my list. I am extremely happy but confused as to where I should commit to. Let me add that I had no expectations of being accepted to any of the schools. There are so many students applying with so few seats available. So I visited, did the research, liked what I saw, interviewed with 5 schools in August & I applied RD. </p>
<p>I was accepted to Williams College, Amherst College, Trinity College, Conn College, Howard U, Dartmouth, UPENN, UNC-Chapel Hill & Yale. Brown was a rejection. Needless to say, I was shocked by my acceptance to Yale. I applied at the insistence of my family, friends & teachers. Never did I think I would be admitted. I knew that the acceptance rates were incredibly low and even though my app was great, I knew that everyone else's was as well.</p>
<p>My issue is this, I live just a short car ride from Yale. Literally. I am on the fence about attending because it is so close. I know that I will receive a wonderful education, but I worry that I won't be able to learn about life and grow being 3 minutes from home. I was dead set against it originally, I really want out of my home town. But my mother asked me to make a mature decision about it and refrain from impulsivity. Everyone is telling me that Yale is the place for me. </p>
<p>I would love the advice of strangers. Thank you.</p>
