And I think you’re being unreasonably judgmental.</p>
<p>These forums are filled with students (and parents) making exactly these kinds of decisions: Is Princeton better than Harvard? Is Williams better than Amherst? And so on and so on. If it were as simple as attending any college where one was admitted, CC probably wouldn’t exist. The OP visited both these schools and felt more at home at Bama . . . why not give her gut reaction the credit it’s due? Yes, she’d probably do just fine at OSU, but if she prefers Bama and was admitted there, why shouldn’t she go there, if she can get her parents (and Mary Spiegel in UA Admissions) to agree?</p>
