<p>Edb, please know that my post above was meant as a response to Gemaco as I had not read your latest post above mine (we must have been writing at the same time). I think you wrote a thoughtful post and I hear your dilemma. Yes, cost is a factor and major difference. I don't think you can go wrong with either choice and it is not a right/wrong type of thing. I think it will be more in your gut. What I think might help you is to jot down on paper, the "pros" or attributes you like about NYU and another list for UVM. Sometimes when you read your list of attributes that appeals to you about each school, it can pop out at you as to which really fits what you want in a college (the criteria is quite an individual matter). So, think through your criteria and preferences and figure out which of these two schools most aligns with what you were hoping to find in a college. Congrats on your acceptances. And hey, if you go to NYU and IF my own kid chooses it, maybe your paths will cross.</p>
