Smith or Macalester? Help

<p>Hi guys!
I have been accepted to Smith College and Macalester College. ...ahh! I know both are great schools, but I'm torn between them.</p>

<p>I plan to major at Economics/mathematics in the my undergraduate program.</p>

<p>I want to be surrounded by people who are smart, and also want a friendly & good social atmosphere, where I feel happy and comfortable.</p>

<p>Academically I need a college where I can get an excellent education. I mean a school I want is the on that has good teachers, interesting classes, and nice students.</p>

<p>Additioinally, I should also consider which college can help me have a brighter future ( the most important factor).</p>

<p>After graduation I will directly seek a job related with my major, such as banking.
If I can not find a dream job, maybe I will go to graduate school, then go to the job market to get a decent job on finance, economics, etc. </p>

<p>Frankly speaking, I should pay more money if I go to Smith instead of Macalester. Therefore, .Macalester can relieve the burden of my financial circumstances to some extent. But it seem that Macalester’s location is not good for a person who wants a job, isn’t it? </p>

<p>How do you think I would do there? Any school suggestions or any advice? I need your help!</p>

<p>Thanks a lot!</p>
