"a little piece of advice: pay attention to how you "feel" about the place. i had a hard time deciding between here & another school and stats-wise, they were SO on par; it really just came down to "where do you want to live & be?" - but I hadn't been thinking along those lines when I was there. after the formal stuff is over, walk around the school, walk around outside; see how you fit in/feel about being there." Report Response
