Rhodes vs. Alabama Honors

College Search & Selection

<p>I am stuck in a rut in deciding between Rhodes and the Alabama Honors College (Polisci major).</p>

<p>Both schools cost the same, but obviously, one is 18 times the size of the other.
I like the size and community feel of Rhodes, but like the breadth of opportunities at Bama, both academically and extracurricularly.</p>

<p>I do not want to be limited by a lack of opportunities (Rhodes), but don't want to feel voiceless and insignificant at Bama. I'm not asking anyone to make the choice for me, but what I'm asking is: How did you (or someone you know) make up this tough decision?</p>

<p>Write up a pro/con list. Visit if you haven’t already. Consider costs. That’s how I made a similar decision.</p>

<p>You will not be limited by a lack of opportunities at Rhodes College.</p>

<p>If cost is not an issue, I’d choose Rhodes College. It’s a great little place.</p>

<p>Send a PM to poster Curmudgeon. His daughter graduated from Rhodes last year and chose it over Yale and other highly selective schools for the $$$ she got from Rhodes. She is now at Yale Med School. He can give you the scoop on Rhodes.</p>
