<p>I know these schools are quite different but I was hoping someone could give me some input on which would be better or just the pros/cons of each. I would really appreciate it. I am currently undecided in my major so I just need to find a good school where I can explore my options. I would prefer the school to be near city (Sewanee is not). I also like the idea of a school that has a good greek life. Which school would some of you prefer? I'm completely lost about it to be honest. Thank you! </p>
<p>Do you mean Trinity College or Trinity U? Tulane and Richmond have good greek life. you might also look at washington & lee nearby Richmond for good greek life. VU has it and is in a very nice neighborhood/area with walk across the street transportation into Philly. Tulane is much the same as VU in this, altho the neighborhood is a little sketchier than VU’s Main Line. Richmond has a lovely campus not far from downtown Richmond and the school tries to make the most of that, particularly with its campus outreach programs. All are very nice campuses (Tulane I’ve not seen but heard a lot of nice things about). I don’t know much of anything about Trinity or Sewanee (except that the latter is remote and students dress up for class and English is supposed to be strong there). Tulane is a comprehensive research uni, and Richmond and Sewanee are much smaller and more focused on undergrad education. I used to party a lot with Villanova students and they were massive partiers, but that was 35 years ago. Tulane is known for its good times, as is Richmond. </p>
<p>There’s a whole thread about Villanova’s refusal/inability to provide financial aid to a top applicant (in the parents’ forum). Only 15% students have their need met… So, if you need financial aid, not a possibility.
University of Richmond meets full need and combines being close to a city rich in history and urban life, with a quieter area surrounding campus (you’re not in the inner city).
Sewanee is very remote, you’re in a forest on a mountain and the mountain is the campus. Gorgeous if you like hiking, etc. And yes prepare to dress up (tie, nice shoes, etc) for class.
Tulane has a great campus and, like URichmond, is in a nice neighborhood but the city is very close.</p>
