umich (art&design) vs. nyu (lsp)

<p>so i've been admitted to u mich art and design and nyu lsp (gallatin track)
i have to decide soon but i'm still in a huge dilemma because although umich has a better rep generally for academics, i like nyu gallatins program more. </p>

<p>for u mich i think i'll most likely transfer out of the art and design school to LSA after my first year so the problem is all my credits are kind of wasted if i do any LSA major
and i heard that the a&d courses for first years aren't that great and i dont want to waste one whole year of college and then graduate late
my concern for nyu is that i have to go through lsp before i can get into gallatin where i can choose my own classes and make my own major
and nyu isnt ranked as high as umich in a lot of areas
any advice?
thanks in advance!!</p>
