Hi guys, I’m an international student. I got in UVa in EA and Oberlin in RD, and really need help choosing between the two schools.
I wish to learn physics/cognitive science (as major probably, and a concentration in CS would also be nice), also am a huge fan of the arts (music, films… mostly the indie kind). I hope to go to grad school or get a PHD after graduating.
I’m not exactly a party type of people but love the feeling of a warm community. Oberlin seems to be in a rural environment, and it bothers me a little. Also it’s colder than UVa (which I don’t like.) But other than that, the whole atmosphere of Oberlin is fantastic. And I am the “hippie” type of people, according to many people around me.
While for UVa, I visited the school and it’s beautiful and lovely, but I’m not sure it’s very strong in fields of science. Since, I hope to pursue higher level of education, I thought maybe I should learn something more theoretical in these 4 years of college (but I really don’t know if this is the case.) So some advice please?
Thanks so much!
