[quote=Anonymous]My DD having a hard time choosing between two schools (different ones) but here are some of the things we did to help with that decision. Some have already been mentioned.

1. We looked really closely at the program at both - for her major requirements and for the gen ed requirements - to make sure there weren’t any surprises or potential complications.

2. We went to visit both for admitted student days/open houses so she could revisit facilities, interact with faculty from her major, and get a sense of the atmosphere.

3. We also looked closely at campus life aspects for both - she’s interested in study abroad and intramural/club sports so made sure schools offered what she’s looking for.

4. We mapped out cost - actual cost of attendance to make sure there weren’t any surprises.

5. This one may sound silly but my DD started looking at the Instagram account for admitted students. These are usually informal/not run by the university but kids send in a photo and some info about where they are from, what they plan to study etc. Honestly this may end up being the tie breaker for her. Both schools were very even but she feels strongly that the kids for one school look more interesting and diverse than the others.

I told her many times that there is no wrong choice, both are great schools and she (and your son) will find their place at either. Best of luck! He has two great options and should feel very proud. [/quote]
