I had a super hard time deciding between Georgetown and Michigan and now fear I chose wrong. I picked Georgetown because it’s super close to home and it felt like a safe choice. However, now that I’m there it really isn’t the college experience I’m looking for. Everything revolves around clubs, whether that be ones you have to apply to that have a 5% acceptance rate, or genuine nightclubs that are expensive and filled with actual adults. Michigan, or other state schools of similar caliber, have frats, big sports, are actually better for my major (Comp Sci) and feel like it would be a much better time. Am I rushing into thinking this? I don’t really know what to do but also don’t want to end up “settling” when I could be get a much realer college experience elsewhere with a vibe I like more.
How do you know that once you get to Michigan you won’t be unhappy that it is too big, too far from a major city (and Detroit is not Washington, that’s for sure), too sports-oriented, too Greek-oriented, etc.? Right now you are comparing the idea of Michigan with the reality of Georgetown.
That’s very interesting that you say that, because Georgetown says “Because of the University’s commitment to inclusiveness, membership in a student organization must be nondiscriminatory and open to the entire Georgetown University undergraduate student community.”. They go on to list exceptions (a string quartet could reasonably be limited to 4) but they are few in number.
Can you give three or four examples?
