<p>how to choose between these two schools?</p>
<p>We need more information. What are you planning to major in? What is your state of residence and how much financial aid are you receiving from each school? What are you looking for in a college? Have you visited either campus? and so on
All of this will give a better picture to help you make a decision.</p>
<p>I am an international. I plan to major in Physics. No financial aid. Do not need to consider financial issues. Hope to choose a school where I can learn more accademically and socially and for better career future. And I plan to study master degree in 4 years.</p>
<p>Good heavens - those couldn’t be any different. W&M is in a historic village, tourist/small college town, beautiful, and rural, student body is relatively homogenous, extremely academically focused. UCLA is in a vibrant city, in the center of Westwood activity, major sports fanatic team, diversity of students is paramount.</p>
<p>I will major in physics. I heard College of W&M is more focusing on arts rather than sciences. Is that true? Or for an undergrad is that important? Another factor I need to consider is the ranking: UCLA ranks 24 but College of W&M 33.</p>
