I recently have been tasked with the challenge of choosing between UChicago and the Dietrich school at Carnegie Mellon. For a little bit of background on me, I want to study visual art and creative writing to pursue an eventual career in the production of cartoons. I would also like to get a well rounded education in math, science, and classics although not to the same degree as my main interests. I’m feeling really conflicted about this choice as UChicago is the better school overall but Carnegie Mellon has a good art department and flexibility between schools. I’m also a little worried about the social scene and campus life at both of these schools. If anyone could shed some light on my predicament and lend me their opinion I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
