Would you rather ..... ?

College Search & Selection

<p>So, this thread is all about choices. You got into two colleges / universities and you have to decide which one to go to. I want to know everybody here has different opinions...Which one would you pick? I will mention two different schools and the person after me can answer which one they'd prefer and give their reasons. Then that person can also mention two schools and so on...</p>

<p>UNC or UVa</p>

2

<p>UNC (hoping their basketball team will be better again next year haha)</p>

<p>Cal - UCLA</p>

3

<p>UCLA</p>

<p>NYU or USC.</p>

4

<p>NYU</p>

<p>CC or UC merced</p>

5

<p>Not sure what CC is (College Confidential? Community College?) So, I’d prefer UC Merced. At least, I know it’s a UC school!</p>

<p>Yale or Stanford?</p>

6

<p>Yale–from what I hear, the institutional spirit is more similar to what I’m looking for</p>

<p>Scripps or Bryn Mawr?</p>

7

<p>“cc” is community college</p>

<p>Williams or Darmouth</p>

8

<p>Dartmouth</p>

<p>Brown or Amherst.</p>

9

<p>AMHERST!</p>

<p>Grinnell or Macalester?</p>

<p>Aw…but that was based only on prestige. I was asking to get real favorites, based on your real choices. Maybe this needs to start on April 3rd, like it did last year, because we don’t know what those real choices will be right now. So where would you rather go, noimagination?</p>

<p>^^Macalester because their science department is getting more funding</p>

<p>Dartmouth or Duke?</p>

12

<p>Tough choice… Duke I think, even though I applied to Dmouth and not Duke (stupid, I know)</p>

<p>Yale or Penn?</p>

13

<p>Yale is an amazingly overall school and it beats UPenn, but if you wanted business, Wharton (Penn) wins. I especially liked Yale’s residential college system and the try-out-your-courses that Yale offers.</p>

<p>Rice or Northwestern?</p>

14

<p>Northwestern! I prefer the North.</p>

<p>UMich or UVA</p>

15

<p>UMich. UVa’s too preppy.</p>

<p>Carleton or Haverford</p>

16

<p>Haverford! I wish I applied. ):</p>

<p>Smith or Mount Holyoke?</p>

17

<p>Smith, even though I would never go to a women’s college (not because I’m not a woman, because I am). I don’t really know too much about Mount Holyoke.</p>

<p>University of Chicago or Cornell</p>

18

<p>@limabeans: fair enough.</p>

<p>Cornell, because I might want to major in engineering.</p>

<p>U Minnesota or U Maryland</p>

19

<p>U Maryland. I’d hate to have to book a flight home for breaks.</p>

<p>Bennington or Hampshire?</p>

20

<p>Hampshire…it’s better known, it’s nearer other colleges (Amherst, UMass-Amherst,…that 5-college consortium), it’s bigger (if you call 1,400 kids big), more diverse, and it really celebrates its funkiness. Bennington is a tourist attraction in Vt.</p>

<p>Rice or Middlebury?</p>
