If she really wants to work in public health, she will likely need a masters degree. So…I’d look at what these schools have that appeal to her…beside the major. There are public health grad school students who didn’t major in public health as undergrads.
So…I’d consider location. And weather as well. These colleges are very different in terms of weather and location. SMU is really more suburban than urban. SMU has a defined campus. NYU, NYC is the campus.
Both are fine choices…and really your daughter needs to consider the whole package.
Well….it often melts away. When DH lived in NYC, they just hooked snowplows to the garbage trucks. Do they have snowplows now?
That being said…I agree…snow isn’t an enormous issue in Manhattan most of the time.
It does get very old…and when walking, the wind between the buildings sometimes feels like you are in a wind tunnel. But that’s what they make winter clothes for!
Dallas…it seldom snows. Yes it is very hot in the summer and sometimes at the start of the fall term. But the weather there is very nice…if you don’t really like cold weather.
