<p>Hi, everyone. I was accepted to
UW, Seattle
U Miami
American University
UCIrvine
Drexel University
U Mass.
SUNY Binghamton
and others.</p>
<p>I am planning on being international relations and affairs.
I think that I have narrowed it down to University of Miami, American University, and University of Washington. I know that AU has strong international studies major, but UM and UW also have good programs.
All of them are affordable without aid, but UW is 28k, while UM and AU is both 39k.</p>
<p>I am Asian, but went to US high school for 4years.
But my family isn't here, so location doesn't really influence the decision. </p>
<p>Thanks for any input!!</p>
<p>University of Washington</p>
<p>Thanks for your advice, but can I ask why?</p>
<p>I know you said location does not influence, but maybe it should? You are more likely to make contacts, find internships, and possibly jobs after graduation near where you go to school. If in the long run you plan to stay in the US and you would rather live in the Northwest, then UW is your choice. If you think you have a better chance of getting a government or other job in DC, then American. I would pick where you want to live (not forever but maybe 10 years?) and the fit of the school for your lifestyle preference. Seattle is pretty but cloudy. DC is hot but there is a lot going on in the city (don’t know about the campus). It may be more about intangibles when deciding between the three.</p>
