<p>Hi I have narrowed down my college decision to two schools: James Madison university and university of Maryland college park. I am torn about which one I should go to because I like both for different reasons. I want to know where I should go for good overall academics, a happy lifestyle, good campus, and things to do. Both these campuses offer that and I'm stuck. I live in new jersey just outside of Philly and I need to figure this out. Please tell me your opinion thanks! Here's what I have so far :</p>
<p>UMD
+more prestigious
+probably better for academics
+closer to cities like DC so more internships and job opportunities
-campus is okay
-not the biggest fan of the city feel
+not far from home
+more choices for majors since I am undecided</p>
<p>JMU
+beautiful campus
+more friendly population
+more open with no suburban/urban feel
+would probably be more happy based on surrounding people and environment
-not as prestigious academics
/farther than UMD, but still not far away
-not near major cities or areas for jobs
+not as populated
-not as good sports</p>
