<p>i have to decide where to attend by may 1st and just cant make a decision.
what would you guys choose among these choices
: u of michigan, ucla, ucsd, cal, boston college</p>
<p>my major is either biochem or bioengineering for all these schools.
plz, help me!
i asked for advise to everyone including GC, teachers, parents and etc.
all they said ware " go wherever you want to go".
well, i dont even know where i wanna go!</p>
<p>All of your named schools have great science and engineering programs. What else are you looking for in a college? Big time football games? Lots of tradition? Ivy covered walls? Warm climate close to the beach? Modern architecture? A campus in a nice, safe area of town? Maybe these "other" factors will help you to make up your mind.</p>
<p>Since we're in a recession, unless you're wealthy, go to the one that is most affordable. All of the colleges on your list are similarly ranked, so you can't go wrong selecting from your choices.</p>
<p>If money is not important, and you want to go to a smaller college, pick BC.</p>
<p>If you live in Michigan, go to UMich.. if you live in Cali, choose the city you like more, LA or SD .. both are competitive schools. If you are not a resident of either, choose the college atmosphere you like the most. Make sure to do a campus visit because it really does make a difference, there are many people who think they'd love the larger schools.. then find out they like the smaller, or vice versa.</p>
<p>If you can't decide, choose the best financial deal. Why pay more for something that makes no difference to you?</p>
<p>All other things being equal, I would also give a tip to staying reasonably close to home if you have a decent relationship with your parents. It can be really nice to have a parent drive up when you are sick or sick at heart and treat you to a meal out, some goodies, and some unconditional love. :-)</p>
