<p>I'm in-state for both schools. I have a full tuition scholarship at VCU and no aid at UVA. If I went to VCU, I'd graduate debt-free, and if I went to UVA, I'd graduate with about $25,000 in debt. However, it would be very possible for me to do UVA in three years (Dual Enrollment credit!) and if I could manage that, debt would be a non-issue.</p>
<p>I have no idea what I'm going to major in, and there's a lot I like about each school!</p>
<p>VCU is in a city and has a nice artistic vibe. I'd be attending with some of my best friends from high school and I wouldn't have to worry about money. VCU is about 20 minutes from my house. Their honors program would allow me to have many of my classes <20 students.
UVA is, of course, nationally recognized, and has a much higher proportion of non-Virginians. I love the campus, history and traditions, the social scene, and the quintessential college vibe. Their Echols Scholars program would exempt me from all area requirements. As an undecided major, it's quite attractive to have room to explore. At UVA, I'd be surrounded by lots of similarly motivated and intellectual students.
I JUST CAN'T CHOOSE. PLEASE HELP!!! May 1st is getting closer every second!</p>
