UC Davis vs. Oxford College of Emory...HELP!

<p>The main problem with Oxford is that I am interested in the dual engineering program at Georgia Tech, meaning I would have to attend three different schools and spend five years on an undergraduate education. Engineering isn’t something I’m committed to and I’m worried that I won’t be able to explore/cultivate my interest in engineering at Oxford. </p>

<p>I’m also worried about that attitude towards Oxford students and the general atmosphere at Oxford – I’m not sure how I feel about going to a satellite school an hour away from the real thing. Especially since a few of my friends who looked to me for help in high school got into and are attending Emory. The last thing I want is to be bitter when going off to college.</p>

<p>Davis is a good school but, seeing as I’m from California, I would have liked to partake in an out-of-state college experience.Georgia Tech is infinitely better for engineering, yet at Davis I could take part in clubs and programs early on. </p>

<p>I also like the idea of going a continuous four-year university without the complications that Oxford presents. </p>

<p>If I’m already planning on transferring from Emory to Georgia Tech anyways would it make more sense to attend Davis for a year and apply for transfers to better engineering schools?</p>

<p>Lastly, I want to be able to surround myself with students who I feel are at/above my level in order to push myself (SAT: 2220 SAT 2s: Math 790, Bio 740). However, I’m sure I will be able to find incredibly bright individuals at both schools. </p>

<p>Comments? Advice? Opinions? Anything?!?! Really regretting waiting until the last minute to figure this out!</p>
