<p>Please please help me pick. </p>
<p>I love UCLA because its in LA. I love the area. The campus is beautiful, it's sunny, there's grass to run around in and I feel like I will be happy. But I hate that it's a public school. I've gone to public school all my life and it sucks. The budget deficit is definitely not going to let me have as great as an academic experience than if I were to go to Northwestern. Now a few words about Northwestern. I love how you can get to know professors intimately as an undergrad and cross-register among their different schools. NU is also ranked higher academically. They have fewer students which makes me feel like there will be more focus on us and less competition to get classes, etc. But I absolutely hate the weather. I cannot live in the cold. I cannot be snowed in on a dead, lifeless campus for close to 6 months out of the year. Maybe I'm exaggerating. I'm not sure. </p>
<p>If anyone can give me any advice, I'd be very grateful. I need to decide soon.
Btw, I'm completely undecided for my major. I have a lot of interests: film, journalism, communications, and I definitely want to take a lot of electives to fulfill my interests and see what it is I want to do. Both schools are on quarter system, so it's good for that.</p>
<p>Please help!
Thanks</p>
