NYU vs. Univ. Wisconsin - Madison

<p>I am going to be a transfer student for Fall 2011, and have recently gotten into these two universities...and I need help deciding!</p>

<p>My major is English Literature, and I'm thinking about either double majoring or minoring in Philosophy. I'm also considering minoring in Environmental Studies.</p>

<p>I know that NYU is THE best school in the world in terms of Philosophy, but how about English Literature? Which school is better academically? Which school is more prestigious? </p>

<p>I'm also toying with the idea of going into law, and I know NYU has an amazing law program. If I complete my undergrad degree at NYU, will that play into being accepted into their law school? </p>

<p>Also, I know I would thrive in an urban environment, making NYC a good option. However, I know very little about the city of Madison...</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>
