<p>well other people are veryyy pro-barnard and are saying follow your heart, you seem like you want barnard.</p>
<p>and others like you emphasize how great chicago and uoc is..</p>
<p>and i agree with both.. hence why i am in this dilemma.</p>
<p>do u go to uoc?</p>
<p>as for prestige/name.. i don't know if i should make this a big factor..</p>
<p>no problem, hope you saw what other people say about U chicago and BArnard</p>
<p>no, I dont go to UoC...
we just gave our opinions...now you decide...good luck</p>
<p>i will add 1 more thing...take into account what i term 'regret factor'</p>
<p>either decision...would you ever regret NOT going to one of the school???</p>
<p>I think if I go to Chicago.. I'll always wonder what the experience of being a "poor undergrad student" in NYC will be like. NYC is my dream.. I think no matter what, I'll have a pang of regret not going there.. but who knows, maybe I'll get over it fast. Afterall, I'm very versatile.</p>
<p>As for going to Barnard over Chicago.. if Barnard happens to be not what I expected.. and this so-called Columbia arrogance really does bother me, then of course I'll regret not going to Chicago.</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>maybe its because i grew up in a city and ive been living in the middle of a city all my life i've completely lose interest in city schools <em>shrug</em></p>
<p>I've only ever lived in cities too. But never a HUGE city like NYC..</p>
<p>Just Seoul, London (so long time ago though), Hong Kong, Singapore......</p>
<p>I dunno.. I only really applied to city schools..</p>
