Hey everyone! I was hoping someone could help me with my decision of which school to go to. Both these schools gave me a scholarship about the same price, so basically they would be about the same (with WSU being the one that cost slightly more). I’m conflicted because I liked WSU’s campus and dorms a lot better than Drake, but Drake has smaller class sizes (average 20 kids- which I love) and I feel like Drake would be a better bet for grad schools (becasue it’s a small, private school in Iowa and the smaller class sizes are more opportunity for me to at the top of my class). Any help would be welcomed! My major, by the way, is neuroscience, and I’m looking to double major and study abroad.
I applied and was accepted to WSU. I must say Despite initially labelling it as a “safety”, I had come to really like it. The school spirit is awesome, campus is awesome and faculty is regarded as really good too. Idk about Drake as I have never heard of it. sorry.
Hope that helps
Drake is a top school in the Midwest. WSU is often a safety for good students, it’s definitely not on the same level as Drake for academics.
In addition, Drake is in a cool city, whereas WSU is very isolated/rural.
