<p>I recently applied from an overseas college (long story, American but decided to go to school in London for my whole degree, applied to a few places to try and transfer back to the States). </p>
<p>Accepted from NYU, Emory and UMichigan and am having trouble deciding between the 3. I'll be studying IR/Poli-Sci. Which is the "best" school amongst them? What are the social scenes like (familiar with NYU but not the other 2)? </p>
<p>I unfortunately can't visit the schools before applying so having to rely on other stuff to make a choice... aghhh! </p>
<p>NYU
- NYC has been a dream of mine forever, spent lots of time in nyc and in nyu but i know it doesn't have the reputation that the other 2 seem to have academically?
- only gave me $4000 in scholarships (ouch..)</p>
<p>Emory- never been to atl
- don't know how much aid I've been given yet
- bit worried about how "homogenous"/preppy/snobby the student body might be.. true/false?
- culture shock after London?</p>
<p>Michigan - never been to Ann arbor/Detroit
- gave me $6000 in aid (again.. ouch)
- too big? not personalized enough? (again, I'm just basing this off of what I've seen online)
- social scene seems to "fit me" best
- again.. London to ann arbor = culture shock?</p>
<p>i know the three are significantly different schools but just wanted to get some info from anyone who is either at one of the schools or has any input. Thanks</p>
