I was recently admitted into Tulane's School of Architecture, which I am so thankful for but now all of a sudden I am having doubts.

I've always known that Syracuse has a top ranked architecture program but I never really considered it because it's so far away from home (I live in the panhandle of Florida.) Recently I checked collegeboard out of curiosity and found out that SU's SAT scores were in the perfect range that mine fell into with Tulane's being about 100 points more than what I made.

I'm just worried because I don't think Tulane would be a right fit for me academically. I'm also worried because SU is about $5,000 a year cheaper than Tulane and I could be getting a better arch education for a cheaper price if I move far away. I'm not saying that Tulane is awful, but I'm just not sure if I'm living up to my full potential or getting the best deal for college.

I know it's bad to judge on the rankings but I can't help it because the difference seems so significant.

Any thoughts or comments? I'd love to hear from all perspectives: students and adults alike
