Which school would you choose?

I would maybe choose Northwestern for its vibrant arts community, interesting campus, academics, and different location (I'm from the NE).

You?

William and Mary 100%
I love the history and colonial Williamsburg. It's also a great school academically. I just LOVE the vibe.

Ugh. I went there. Would not repeat.

That is too bad. I'm sorry you didn't have a great experience. I didn't have the money or a very great K-12 education, so WM wasn't even an option for me. I went to a big state school in the midwest. I made it through, and I had a good time. But, WM would have been an incredible opportunity.

Northwestern for me. I just feel like it offers the best of a lot of different aspects of the college experience that I loved. The rah-rah sports culture is there if you want it, it has that lovely East Coast-y liberal arts college vibe among some of its constituent schools, it has the prestige, the vibrant arts, the proximity to the big city.

Granted, a lot of friends I made in my adult life post-college ended up being Northwestern grads out of coincidence, and they all talk about their college experience fondly. So my thinking is probably colored by my friends.

My Husband toured Northwestern with one of our kids and he wanted to quit work and go be a student there .

Oh, I had a very similar experience… the school and surrounding area is really lovely and idyllic.

Columbia University. Anyone going there will learn a lot especially with its location.

I’d go back to Williams. I’m somewhat jealous of my classmates who returned to Williams to teach or found other ways to settle in or near Williamstown.

LOL, pretty much every Columbia grad I know has hated their undergrad experience there.
