<p>(I've posted the same thing in "College Admissions and Search", too, but I want some advice from you international students!!)</p>

<p>I was admitted to WashU and Vassar, and Grinnell.
WashU and Grinnell is offering me the same amount of grant, and I'm choosing WashU over Grinnell.</p>

<p>But I really can't decide between WashU and Vassar!
I haven't visited either of them (will do this month...I hope it'll help me make up my mind), but both school have pros and cons- vassar has better "study abroad" programs, but doesn't offer linguistics, etc.
Vassar's scholarship sounds great- my family can pay $16000/yr. for college, and with vassar's grants we only have to pay $12000. For WashU, we're gonna have to have some loans in Japan, since I don't have any relatives in the U.S....</p>

<p>I'm plannng to major in International Studies and/or Linguistics, but I may change my mind to Politics or Law.</p>

<p>Which would you attend?</p>

<p>p.s Someone please tell me the figures of students moving on to graduate schools, and which graduate school they go to.
e.g.how many students get into HYP graduate school?</p>

<p>I agree with hoeman. Vassar is the better option.</p>

<p>thanks for your opinion! but why?? </p>

<p>anyone else??</p>

<p>Also, could someone tell me more about how many students go to which graduate schools from Vassar& WashU?
Plus, if you know anything about International Relations and Linguitics at both colleges, I'd like to know that too!</p>

<p>hoeman> I requested a review on my financial aid to WashU, to keep my options open. </p>

<p>ok, What IF WashU offers the same ( or near ) amount of financial aid?
I'd like to know more about how WashU, too.</p>
