Hi, I was accepted to these universities, along with others that I am waiting upon. However, i think these are the schools it will boil down to. I am in state for both temple and pitt. I like pitt more, but i feel that temple honors will provide a better education. I am from right outside of philadelphia, however, so i feel like it may be too close. Cost is a factor, so is Case Western really that much better than Temple Honors or Pitt? I am hoping to pursuit either the pre-law track, or attend some sort of graduate school in the future.
would love to see comments on here as we may look at these schools for my daughter.
If you think you might go to Law School I’d keep UG costs down as much as possible.
As far as being close to Temple I wouldn’t worry so much about that unless you actually spent most of your life in North Philly near Temple or in the city. It’ll be a totally different experience than living ‘outside of philadelphia’ as you say. I don’t think your family will show up unexpectedly all the time though you’ll probably get asked to come home on multiple weekends. My D goes to school about an 1 1/2 hours away via the train and she does come home all breaks and sometimes because she has a Saturday medical appt. If you want an excuse to not come home often then go to Pitt. It’s a great school.
