UVa vs. Vanderbilt?

<p>I posted on the Vanderbilt thread as well - but anticipate those responses to be pro Vandy as I would anticipate these to be pro UVa. Intended major is physics and perhaps law school down the line. I want to be pushed academically (hasn't happened in hs) but I also want the social life of a "happy" campus. I was so happy with my UVa acceptance and then Vanderbilt appeared with lots of $$ so I am planning on visiting both schools and will look at the fit but I'd love some responses. Parent responses welcome!</p>

<p>i chose uva over vanderebilt, but my cousin is going to vanderbilt this fall. you can pm me if you have questions. i think it’s entirely a “fit” choice, maybe the money with this economy might influence it.</p>

<p>^ Financial aid makes them about the same so no help with making a decision there.</p>
