<p>I'm a having a really tough time deciding between Providence College and Muhlenberg. I feel that they're so similar, it's hard to chose which is best for me.</p>
<p>What I like about both:
Beautiful campuses (though Muhlenberg is prettier), small liberal arts schools, "family feel", and I feel like I would fit in at either, which is why its so hard for me to choose.</p>
<p>Muhlenberg:
Pros:</p>
<h1>4 in the nation for theatre (I plan on minoring or possibly double majoring).</h1>
<p>They have psych, theatre and communications.</p>
<p>Cons:
Town seems less lively.
Two people I don't necessarily want to be with are already going to the school, and have the same interest as me (we're friends, but I'd rather just separate). I know I shouldn't base my choice off this, but it would seriously impact my experience.
I want to meet different people; I don't want a homogeneous environment where every person is a psych/theatre major.
More females, and more gay guys haha.</p>
<p>Providence
Pros:
A lot to do in town
A lot more lively, it seems. There is more to do.
Better social life.
Not everyone is a theatre major
More boys!
Cons:
They have "public and community service studies" / marketing / social science rather than communications. Though, that is the part of communications I would be interested in, as well as Journalism. I called to inquire about these programs, and they haven't responded yet. I am thinking Journalism may be a part of English, though?
The theatre program is not as developed but still fairly good.</p>
<p>Financially, Muhlenberg gave me $24,000. $11,000 is scholarship money, plus a $7,500 grant and two loans. At Providence, I received $6,000 in scholarship money, as well as a $5,000 grant and two scholarships to total $16,500. The difference between the two is $7,500. I'm going to write to/call/visit the Financial Aid office in person to ask Providence if they can match or beat that.</p>
<p>Thank you to anyone who read all that crap and any comments, haha.</p>
