UMich vs. UR? Please help...

<p>Ok, so I've narrowed my decision down to the University of Michigan and the University of Rochester.</p>

<p>I can't decide which school I should choose. I'm torn between the big-school atmosphere and the attention I would receive at a school like UR. I'm also undecided as to what to major in, but I know I will definitely minor in Chinese and might want to study abroad for a semester. Right now I'm thinking about doing pre-med or pre-vet, but once again I am not 100% sure. As far as extra-curriculars go, I think I would want to get involved in plays and musicals. </p>

<p>I would be paying approximately the same amount of money for both schools, which makes the decision that more difficult for me. I know it would be best to visit both schools, but this may not be possible =[</p>

<p>Which school should I choose? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!!!</p>

<p>Michigan, no doubt.</p>

<p>Definitely Michigan…</p>

<p>That’s a lot of money to spend (four years OOS) to NOT visit both. Why not invest a weekend to make a decision that governs the next four years of your life.</p>

<p>And…definitely Michigan…but go see for yourself. It’s crazy not to.</p>

<p>could you guys be more a little more detailed and give specific reasons why michigan is better? i’d also like to know how competitive the students are, and if there is a lot of grade deflation. thanks!</p>
