<p>I have the tough choice of choosing which school to attend...Vanderbilt or University of Virginia. I will be paying about $10,000 to go to each and my interests are civil engineering and business. I like the size of Vanderbilt, however Virginia has a better engineering program and business program according to US News and I am in the engineering honors program at UVA and wont find out about Vanderbilt Honors until later. I do like the feel of Vanderbilt's campus though and the fact that its in the city. However, socially I am not sure where I would fit in as I am a minority and Vanderbilt is ranked #2 on the Princeton Review for Little Class/Race Interaction. Any suggestions? Pros/cons?</p>
<p>go to UVa...but then again, I don't know a whole lot about Vanderbilt. Good luck!</p>
<p>jstrap30, there was a long thread on precisely this topic in the CC Parents' Forums. It's labled "What Would You Tell My Daughter". The last post was a week or two ago. If I knew how to link to it from here, I would to it, but you can look it up. I think you'd find it very informative.</p>
