<p>My major is undecided and I'm not sure what I want to do later on. So now I have a huge dillema....Rice seems cheaper, but WUSTLE is the highest ranked, and NYU has a good location. Gah, so stressed out. Tell me which school you would choose. </p>
<p>PS, I'm strong in both the sciences and the humanities and I'm considering medicine or law.</p>
<p>NYU ISN'T a good location in my book - unless you don't care about a college experience- in that case go there because all the others ARE college experiences. BTW- I've met 5 unhappy NYU students for every happy one, and I probably have met 200 kids from NYU.</p>
<p>Hey Slipper...thanks a lot for your posts...they've really helped me with my college process. But one question: how about UChicago vs. Northwestern? Where would you choose and why? Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>Sure no problem! I'd go to Northwestern, unless you are a very specific type of person. For 99% of people the academic differences are moot, but I think Northwestern offers a more well-rounded experience. Chicago kids tend to wear their academic talents on their sleeve, while Northwestern students tend to downplay their prowess but excel anyway. Personally I find the Northwestern view much more refreshing. But a person who doesn't really care about parties, community, festiveness, etc might like UChicago more. </p>
<p>In the end its a big lifestyle issue, a lesser academic issue.</p>
<p>Also Kimfuge - I forgot that another "type" seems to like chicago. The minority urban types (people that party in the city, smoke hookah, whatever - trying to paint a picture not stereotype) have alot of fun at Chicago because they enjoy the Chicago club scene. The indian, and asian populations particularly tend to have the most fun at Chicago.</p>
<p>Hey thanks so much!</p>
