<p>Wash U in St. Louis vs. Emory vs. Georgia Tech vs. UMich</p>
<p>I am looking for a good undergraduate education and experience. I very confused on which college I am going to. If I go to Wash U or Emory, I would most likely be going pre-med. In U Mich and Georgia Tech, I would take biomedical engineering. I just want some opinions to help me decide! </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Would u also post the college you would attend out of these choices?</p>
<p>Which state do you live in? Are you from Georgia? I would favor U Michigan with Washington U second, Emory third. Georgia Tech would make financial sense if you are a Georgia resident.</p>
<p>Ga Tech is pretty great! It was my 2nd choice school. Also, I believe when you study aboard during the semester, you get to pay in-state tuition, so you actually save money. My 2nd choice would be Emory because it's great for Med. Then Michigan, then WUSTL.</p>
themagster, are you saying that OOS students at GT pay in-state tuition rates while they are abroad? Can you point me to where you found that info? Thanks.</p>

<li>Ga Tech, off the list. Worst reputation, worst social life, worst everything. A total loser in this group as far as I'm concerned. So what if study abroad is cheap, its 1/8 of your education!! Ga Tech not worth it unless you are a hardcore engineer, and even then its worse than Michigan by a decent margin.</li>

<p>I choose WashU for its reputation and its social life.</p>
<p>slipper, I'd have to disagree. Of course, I'm not attending the college, but I've lived in GA almost all my life, have visited a ton, and know a lot of people there. I was going into Ivan Allen (the liberal arts college) and I didn't feel like I was at an "engineering school." I found that even the gender ratios were fine (I saw plenty of girls, NORMAL ones) and the guys were fine. Yes, there's a lot of studying, hard classes, etc. Great campus, AWESOME programs and facilities. The nice thing abut studying something more humanity-related, you still have all these freakishly good facilities because you have all the resources of an engineering school. I spent an hour talking about "Heart of Darkness" with a literature teacher, saw the dorms, etc. The school is nothing like its reputation.</p>
