<p>If cost was not a factor, which would you choose and why?</p>
<p>This is for someone who might want to major in business or history/international relations/foreign affairs.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Both are excellent but WashU allows a lot more flexibility in double-majoring, has better living arrangements, food, stronger and more liberal student body.
For history/international relations/foreign affairs UVA would be a better choice if that is what you want to do. </p>
<p>You need to visit, they feel very different.</p>
<p>I'd say UVa has an edge in both those areas and more school spirit.</p>
<p>UVirginia has a much bigger Greek scene as well as sports scene. WashU more intellectual and St Louis is a cool city.</p>
<p>I have always had the impression that Virginia is more prestigous than WashU. I think this was confimed when I applied to both and was rejected by Virginia and accepted by WashU.</p>
<p>Pick UVA :p </p>
<p>I heard that WashU is not in the best of locations. Plus UVA has some of that sport atomsphere too</p>
<p>What things are important to you, other than major?</p>
<p>Your acceptance or rejection is no indicator of prestige.</p>
<p>WashU is in a really great neighborhood adjacent to Forest Park. St. Louis is the greatest sports city in USA. Esp for baseball.</p>
<p>of the things you listed as possible majors, UVa is likely going to serve you better than washu. regardless of rankings, i would venture to say that most people think uva is at least on par, if not better than washu.</p>
