<p>I have been accepted to both Colgate and William & Mary and have to decide between the two. I am a Virginia student so I would pay full in-state tuition at William and Mary and I received a small amount of financial aid from Colgate, bringing it down to about double the cost of W&M. I am interested primarily in math, secondarily in economics, and potentially in computer science as well. For a while I've felt as if Colgate is the school for me, but for financial reasons I still have to consider W&M. If anyone could help me out by posting pros and cons of attending both of these schools, it would be a tremendous help for the decision I have to make within the next couple days. </p>
<p>ok so my brother is at William and Mary as a double major in physics and Math. He is a really good student and has worked his butt off for the past 3 years at college. At william and mary he has gotten many research opportunities getting internships at W&M, Fermi lab, and CERN. All i’m trying to say here is that at Willaiam and Mary you will definitely get a lot of opportunities for research and internships if you work hard in your classes.
Im not sure why you are favoring colgate(not that you should be leaning towards WM) but I would look at what exactly Colgate has that WM doesnt and then see if that something is worth the extra tuition. In many cases it will be worth the price tag attached but you will definitely get a very good education at WM.
Can you add some more details of what you are looking for in a college as the most important factors so I and other users can give you a more detailed and helpful analysis?</p>
<p>Ultimately in college I am searching for a school that can support my current academic interests as well as leave room for me to explore other areas that I have not had exposure to in high school. Another important factor to me is being able to obtain a high-paying job after graduation, with pay being my second most important priority in finding a job, after job satisfaction.</p>
