Hi, I just joined this site--looks amazing! Anyways, I'm a senior who currently got admissions from colleges. Even though I had phone interviews with all colleges, because I live outside of US, I wasn't able to get a solid idea of the place I'm going to study at. All the responses I had from college officials were really those that I looked for... So, I was wondering if anyone could help me by recommending me one, and why you would choose this college to go to. Basically what I'm looking for is a college that prepares a student to be a well-rounded SM, possibly study abroad programs, and most importantly, has contacts that would help students get future job/internships. The list of colleges I've been accepted to is:
Syracuse University
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Penn State University at University Park
and I think I'll get into:
Boston University
SUNY at Purchase
Emerson College
Ithaca College
University of the Arts
so please consider those colleges too!
I personally am wavering between Syracuse, UIUC, Penn State, and Ithaca (I'm pretty sure I'll get Ithaca). They all look like equally challenging programs, and are well-known for this field. My personal goal is to work in London, so Ithaca really intrigues me (it has London/Edinburgh Fringe Festival study abroad sort of program) but at the same time, USNews college ranks have Syracuse, UIUC, Penn State pretty high. So I'm really torn as to what to choose. Your help will be greatly appreciated to this out-of-US and lost senior!
