<p>So, I know that it's comparing apples to oranges but there are so many things that I like about each place. I'm just asking people for their opinions on which school would be better for me. I know that it's up to me in the end, but I'm just really looking for any additional insight! Thanks!</p>
<p>Macalester: I really like the liberal, openness. I'm only about an hour from the campus, so it's also relatively close to home-which is a bonus. However, I'm worried I might get stuck here. I also like the small class sizes and everything, but I'm worried its too small. It'd be nice to connect with all the professors individually though. Financially, it's more expensive than Georgetown. It will cost me around $7000 a year in non-government loans. Here, I'd probably major in Economics while on a premed track.</p>
<p>Georgetown: It's just a great school! I have not been on the campus yet (so I'm sure that will help my decision), but I like the allure of going to the East Coast. I'm from the Midwest, and I feel like this could be my break to get out there. I was accepted to the International Health/Premedical Program, and it's basically everything I wanted. I really feel like going to Georgetown will help me go to medical school, graduate school, or wherever I end up. Not to mention, I feel like the connections are endless. However, I'm slightly worried about being so far from home. I do know some people who go to Georgetown, but I'm a bit hesistant as to whether I should go full speed ahead. Financially, it will cost me $2000 (plus living expenses) in non-government stafford loans per year. </p>
<p>There's quite a few pros and cons to each. Even though they're so different, they really both seem to suit my needs!</p>
