Northwestern VS UWashington Seattle (bio major)

<p>Hi, i've been accepted by these 2 unis, but now i'm in a dillemma..>_<</p>

<p>i'm planning to major in Biology, hopefully concentrating on plant bio and/or environmental science... </p>

<p>factors i'm considering: major, academic strength, weather (i'm from tropics and like clear days and can't stand the cold T.T though i know both places are freakin cold), student happiness and campus safety...</p>

<p>besides anything else that might be important..</p>

<p>since i'm not from the US, i can only base my opinion on rankings/other ppl's advice, so can u guys please help me out with firsthand info? thanksssss.......</p>
