College Search & Selection

<p>I have to choose between Bryn Mawr and U of Delaware honors program by the 31st of April. If you know these schools and could help me, I just have a few questions:</p>

<p>I work all the time, usually getting six hours of sleep a night and I don't watch TV or procrastinate. If I went to Bryn Mawr, it would be an amazing academic and social experience, since the student body is so accepting, intense, concerned about the world, and all-female. Delaware, by contrast, seemed to have a really apathetic and more hostile student body, but there are definitely good eggs. But would Bryn Mawr be more work? I hate not getting enough sleep, I am easily overwhelmed by too much work. Bryn Mawr and U of Delaware have the same strength of math and science courses, at least in the Honors Program, and I think I want to be a science major. But Bryn Mawr's English/history/humanities type courses are much more intense (and interesting) than what I saw at Delaware. I am stronger in English and may change my major. But Delaware has a lot of opportunities also because of it's size and study abroad program.</p>

<p>You seem to not want to do the work. Based off this paragraph it appears that you are capable but somewhat reluctant to, though you are drawn to Bryn Mawr because of what you could possibly achieve there. If you want a less structured college experience go to U Dell, it's a wonderful school but it won't be as academically taxing as Bryn Mawr (it could be, I suppose, but you don't seem to want that). </p>

<p>This comes down to you. If you hate not getting enough sleep, and are easily overwhelmed avoid the school that is going to be mentally taxing due to its work load. There is more available to you at U Dell. At the end of the day, can you be satisfied knowing you worked hard, or do you want something more (socially, etc). We can't choose for you, you need to evaluate your needs/desires and realistic goals for the future</p>
