public school and private school

College Search & Selection

<p>Hi I am Chinese and I really didn't have a chance to take a close look at the American colleges physically. </p>

<p>I am accepted by some colleges in America.</p>

<p>So,I have always heard that public schools have very large class and I may feel lost or get little attention, especially for an international student like me. </p>

<p>I just wonder whether that is true. </p>

<p>Some public schools have very good reputation like UNC. (Actually I am WL by UNC and think about whether I would go if i got accepted. I know it sounds kind of creepy.But they don't tell me their decisions until the end of june. That is terribly late!)</p>

<p>So, Now i am planning to go George Washington U . it gave me some money and in a very good location. Also strong programs in Pol Sci. </p>

<p>GWU has about 10,000 undergraduates. Do you think GWU can actually give me more personal attention than the public school does? </p>

<p>Can anyone give me some advise? Thank you in advance!!</p>

<p>of course they do, for it’s smaller.</p>

<p>Considering the money issue, and the fact that its Pol Sci is really strong and the location is perfect (if you intend in Pol Sci).
Choose George Washington U</p>

<p>Soundwave: yeah. I have always been passionate about pol sci program and I love DC.
GWU is very expensive and the COA i have to pay after the scholarship is actually 3000 dollars more expensive than UNC.<br>
but I am afraid that I wouldn’t get into UNC finally. Anyway, Thanks for your superquick answer!</p>

<p>3000 per year isn’t that bad, and GWU’s pol sci definitely deserves that much.</p>

<p>And glad to help my compatriot :D</p>
