<p>Well I've been indecisive on this for a week now and have to send out deposits within a few days: Pomona or the University of Pennsylvania? Here are some quick points:</p>
<p>I haven't had the time nor money to visit either campus, but coming from a rainy and relatively small city, the idea of a sunny college town or a large urban environment are both attractive. </p>
<p>I'm a sciency type person and will be studying biochemistry/molecular biology; I also have a side-interest in bioengineering. I am interested in a research-oriented career and plan to head off to graduate school but there has always been a possibility for med school.</p>
<p>I love the sun and the intimacy at Pomona and since I'm a bit reserved in terms of personality, I feel the closeness would be really conducive to my learning/social life. </p>
<p>But at the same time, Penn has excellent biology and chemistry departments and the appealing option to cross over to the engineering school (for bioengineering). </p>
<p>I'll be seriously contemplating this and will come to a decision soon but I would really appreciate any input and insights. Thanks guys!</p>
