<p>So, I got into both vandy and w&m and I have no idea what to do. Don't consider cost - it won't be an issue, however, I am in state for w&m. </p>

<p>Before, vandy was pretty low on my list because I thought I had no shot and I didn't want to go south but now I'm reconsidering. </p>

<p>In terms of weather, I do not mind cold weather at all and I hate sweltering heat. Mild and dry is my favorite. </p>

<p>I am very politically active/aware and I am not a fan of social conservatism - that was a concern for going south, but honestly I can hold my own anywhere. I'm libertarian, so it's not like I'm dying to go to berkeley or anything. </p>

<p>I want to major in economics and minor in poly sci. In the future, I probably want to go into banking/finance or MAYBE law. </p>

<p>I would like to think I'm relatively outgoing and I've lived all over (ny, nj, singapore, hong kong, seoul, northern virginia) so I'm sure I could have a good time anywhere and meet new people easily. I do have a lot of great friends that will be attending w&m, however. </p>

<p>I will care about academics a lot but I do want to balance that with fun and I do plan on joining a fraternity.</p>

<p>I don't know if I've left anything else out but I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions/general comments would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Vanderbilt is one of the hottest schools in the country right now. This year, their accepted students stats were Ivy-level. Five years from now, having Vandy as your Alma Mater will be even more impressive. But then no one's ever had to apologize for having a degree from W&M.</p>

<p>I would go to W&M, but that is just because I love that place. In most aspects Vandy may be better.</p>
