NYU or Middlebury?

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I'm an international students, and I've been admitted to drastically different universities/colleges...A little bit of help or advice from US students would be really great, as I can't make my mind up between Middlebury and NYU.</p>

<p>I'm interested in international politics and history, and one one hand, NYU appeals to me for its wonderful location and connections, but it scares me off a little; i'm afraid to be completely drowned among students and lost in the city, and on the other hand, Midd appears to be a cosy, excellent college, but in the middle of nowhere.</p>

<p>What would be best? Midd or NYU?
I've been admitted also to Reed College, U Mich, UCLA, and waitlisted for Georgetown SFS and Dartmouth....</p>

<p>what would be your ranking among those universities?</p>

<p>NYU, Reed C, Middlebury, UCLA, U Michigan, Boston C?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>UMichigan tops the ohters (rank).
BC & NYU are tied.</p>
