Michigan Honors Program vs. Washington University in STL

<p>I've been weighing the options. The UMich stands very tall and the honors program very legitimate. However, by going there I sacrifice proximity to my home (I live in STL), a major research institution, and a highly academic school. What I gain from Umich is not bad either: the environment, lacrosse, connections, great departments (I'm going into physics).</p>

<p>Could I get some outside opinions?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>manaagle24 - repost on the regular Michigan forum (not this Michigan 2015 forum)and you’ll get a lot of good responses.</p>

<p>Michigan is a major research institution. I don’t know what is exactly offered at WUSTL but you won’t sacrifice anything research wise by coming to Michigan.</p>
