villanova, wake forest, and holy cross

<p>can someone help me decide..... i am realllllllllyy confused</p>

<p>Did you visit any of these? They are such different schools and environments. You need to go and see if you fit in at each one. Of the three, one I couldn't imagine going to, another one is OK and I thought the third was fantastic.</p>

<p>which one was which ginger? by the way, i get called ginger at school because i have red hair (its from south park)</p>

<p>Of course, you need to visit these schools. I encourage you to go to their accepted student programs. I had a son graduate from Villanova, and my daughter is about to graduate from Wake Forest. They both loved their schools and as a parent, I was very pleased with both. That being said, I have a special affection for Wake Forest. While not Catholic like the other two, its beautiful chapel - the centerpiece of the campus - reminds you that its roots are faith-based. I feel it offers the best of both worlds - small, intimate classes and first-rate academics, with a big-time sports program. The level of its athletics makes it feel like a much larger school than it is. While there, my daughter has enjoyed a #1 soccer team, a nationally ranked #1 basketball team, and an ACC championship football team that went to the Orange Bowl. She's had a blast while getting a great education (but it is tough there - you really have to earn your grades.) She is in the Calloway School of Business, which is well-regarded. You didn't mention what you plan to study, but the business school at Villanova is excellent as well. Good luck! Hopefully, if you have a chance to visit them, you will know which one is right for you. I don't think you have a bad choice in the bunch.</p>

<p>DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT go to Wake Forest</p>

<p>It is referred to as WORK Forest</p>

<p>The workload you will receive at Work Forest is crazy</p>

<p>Unless you want to do work 24/7, DON'T go to Work Forest</p>

<p>Ya, I know all about the Work Forest stuff. My daughter is going to graduate with a 3.0, and I know for a fact, she has not worked 24/7. While she does complain about grade deflation, and that it is hard (she's a smart girl - SAT 800V, 660M in 2003 before writing was added - I think she feels she could easily have had a 3.5 at most other schools,) I am positive she would not trade her four years there for anywhere else. Wonderful friends, beautiful campus, great weather.</p>
