UM, WUSTL Vs Liberal Arts Colleges

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I am a Chinese student. Below is my application result. I met a conflict between Liberal arts colleges and national universities. As an intl' student with not much money, I would love to breathe the unique US education feature-liberal arts. But on the other hand, college education is such a big investment. I also have to take UM, WUSTL's reputation into consideration...I don't get lots of first hand info here in China. I need your help,plz. I might want to go into biz in future. But I am also concerned with social sciences-Econ and international relations maybe. I want to become a negotiator in future,say, working with US counterparts on the ever increasing trade disputes:) Thank you for your help in advance!!! I love this forum~ </p>

<p>If cost is an issue, and you can't afford U of M then, based on where you got in, and the money each is offering, it really ought to be a choice between either Bard or Grinnell, both of which are excellent LACs.</p>
