<p>Penn VS. William and Mary?? </p>

<hr>

<p>OK, I'm down to two days or really one to decide and its between these two. Been to both...LOVE both..and think that I can imagine myself at both. </p>

<p>For Penn: Likes- Prestige, Dorms, research opportunties, career options, fact that I'm in a great city, not too far from home, and heard that the Bio department is really good.
Dislikes- LOCATION cause I heard that safety is often times an issue at penn, worried about which dorm I would get, professors might not be as accessible , large classes </p>

<p>For W&M Likes-beautiful college like campus, location, safety, have good friends there, small classes, access to professors, food is good, quiet town, bio department is good
Dislikes- too quiet, not much to do except for frat parties, might not find people to relate to cause its small.</p>

<p>SOOOOOO........PLEASE HELP! Any advice will help especially those disproving my dislikes of W&M......Got full scholarship from W&M.</p>

<p>Go to W&M. If you got a full scholarship, take it and run with it. Seriously - you will not regret it.</p>

<p>I am heading to William and Mary next year and I am pretty sure I would not have picked Harvard of W and M... its fantastic. I'd choose W and M.</p>

<p>"picked Harvard over* W and M"</p>

<p>I picked W&M over Dartmouth. I had a hard time getting over the prestige of the Ivies, but in the end i went with my gut because i visited each school 2 times and all my interactions with W&M students and profs were better. a W&M prof let me call her at her house and my dad and I talked to her for 40 minutes (i'll probably major in econ or business). Any prestige I feel i didnt get undergrad i'll make sure i get from my grad school choice. I stood at the mailbox for 2 minutes this morning before sending my acceptance to W&M. you probabaly can't go wrong with either school, but don't ignore the obvious feelings that you had when you visited each school. good luck!</p>

<p>D just picked WandM over Duke. Both are fine schools. Value of WandM (at 15k per year) considerable higher than Duke (at 45k per year).</p>

7

<p>D picked W&M over Cornell and Chicago. Same reason, and slightly better fit for her interests. All great schools.</p>

<p>Personally for me, where you are doesn't make you happy socially, but who are you with. I promise at W&M you will be able to find people to "relate" to.</p>

<p>and you like that W&M is "quiet", but then you dislike it's "too quiet"</p>

<p>read again what DreamBig2006 said, it speaks volumes:
