<p>i am very torn between these three at the moment. i already got accepted into all of them btw, but i honestly just don't know which one to choose. they all have their pros and cons. i'm just gonna start and list them</p>

<p>Bing Pros: 1. Obviously cheaper (I'm a NY State resident) calculated tuition + room and board would be about $22,000 2. Heard lots of good things about it 3.Safe campus</p>

<p>Bing Cons: 1.Not a very friendly atmosphere..? idk, but it came off as a bit snobby when i went there. like i tried to be nice and make friends at the open house, but the people just seemed kind of snobby 2. Mostly new yorkers and new jersey people, not much diversity 3. Very far away from me (over 200 miles) so it's an extreme schlep to get there 4. Isolated (not much of a surrounding town)</p>

<p>UDel Pros: 1. Beautiful campus 2. Very diverse (a lot of oos kids from different parts of the country) 3. Good college town 4. Closer to me, not as much of a drive (about 160 miles)</p>

<p>UDel Cons: 1. More expensive, but not much because I got a scholarship. so tuition + room and board would be about $34,000 2.Bigger than Bing, but idk if that'll be a good thing or a bad thing 3. Idk about the students. I've heard they're a little snobby too, but I could be wrong cause I haven't visited yet</p>

<p>UConn Pros: 1. Nice campus 2. Nice students (met a bunch of them) 3. Not too far either (150 miles)</p>

<p>UConn Cons: 1. I've heard it's not too safe of a campus, and there have been a lot of rapes/sexual assaults ..?
2. Isolated campus, not much of a college town 3. More expensive than Bing, but it would still only be $30,000 a year because i got a scholarship</p>

<p>Essentially it’s between Bing and UConn then :slight_smile:
UDel is NOT worht $14,000 more per year than Bing (and that’s an understatement).</p>

<p>Personally I find Binghamton to be really friendly; if you have any other questions feel free to ask.</p>

<p>I am also accepted to those 3 and a few others and am trying to make a decision. Del honors, Uconn and Binghamton - felt safe at Bing. liked most of the dorms and cafe’s, UDel looked like a fun busy college town but didn’t like where the art building was - across train tracks and in seedy area and I would probably be spending a lot of time there, UConn seemed like a city in itself in the middle of nowhereland CT. People seemed diverse and cool vibe. Dorms small. Ruled out New Paltz and Fairfield, still waiting on Lehigh and Bucknell. LOVED Quinnipiac but not worth spending so much for a 4 yr bio degree was hoping to get in PA program but offered honors Bio instead. I’d appreciate opinions on all these schools. Leaning toward Binghamton because of reputation of a good school and price (NY resident). </p>
