U Conn (honors) vs Carleton vs GWU [political science, pre-law]

  • Carleton will likely provide the best education.

  • GWU will provide the best connections in Poli Sci/IR. It’s like Georgetown Light.

  • UConn is a decent school all-around and you would be in their honors college, and if you change your mind on course of study – which happens – you’ll have a bunch from which to choose. They also have D1 sports and their basketball teams are usually pretty good, so if you decided to get into sports there is that.

If money is not at all an object, I would go with Carleton probably. Day trips to the Twin Cities are available, and there’s plenty to do there.

But if money is important, UConn is probably the best value.
