Hi people and thanks for posting opinions =)

I have broken my head thinking about these two colleges since i've got the acceptance letters. And the truth is that I just recently decided to follow architecture (i chose the university to which applied according to the biology major - yes, i was not-totally-convinced about it when i applied, but realized that architecture was really my thing in these months, and since ever - i can tell you all the story if you want). I am 17 years old, and the truth is that somebody of that age cannot know what he/she wants to do the rest of his/her life (except for some few cases where their destiny is like already marked). But in the end I decided to follow architecture, which made my list of universities to shrink to 2. I have made really long lists of pros and cons, incluiding location, diversity, amount of students, tuition, kind of people, professors, or anything you could think about being important, incluiding experience from other people (I realized that facebook is a really excellent tool for finding students and alumni and contacting with them) but still can't make a choice, since i couldn't contact many in that certain field.

I came to the conclusion that both are great schools, REALLY different, EXTREMELY different, and that both universities have pros and cons, which make me really doubt about which one is best for me.

After all this, I just wanted to know if anyone knew which had the strongest UNDERGRADUATE architecture program, since I think that is an important fact to have in mind, and since many opinions from students/alumni seems to be biased (of course, it's their university of which we are talking)

ps: i know my question was kind of bad asked; too superficial.
