Hello!
I have been accepted to both and completely torn apart between both.
I would like to major in political science, with interests being in IR, history. Would probably be on the pre-law track. Research and internship opportunities are really important to me and would love an active theater scene.
Would love any inputs from anybody :)))
You honestly can’t go wrong with either choice- congrats!!
Is there a debt difference? if so, choose the one with less debt. Internships / early jobs in polisci/IR are terribly paid, and if you have to service debt that will limit your ability to take the good ones.
If no debt difference, did you visit both? if so, go with the one that felt the most natively comfortable to you.
Your academic interests lead more toward UR in this comparison, IMO. Socially, however, these schools represent distinctly different environments, and I recommend you strongly consider how their respective atmospheres would contribute to your experience at them.
