HAMILTON vs. UMICH

Hey, guys.
Now I'm choosing between UMICH and HAMILTON College and I really have no idea which is slightly better?
I might going to major in Economics but still not sure about this. And also I'm not sure whether going to grad school in the future.=(
I'm worrying about the class size and the advising at UMich. Also, about the reputation of Hamilton and internship opportunities at it.
Both schools are great to me.=)
And I don't know what to do. =(
Any suggestion or information will be appreciated!!!
Thank you!!

Hamilton happens to have an amazing econ dept. and very good advising system (to support the lack of distribution requirements). Hamilton also has very strong connections for economic majors when it comes to grad school/job placement. UMich is an amazing university ... just an entirely different experience. A small school allows you to fully explore the depth and breadth of a liberal arts education. Definitely visit both schools and see which one feels like a better match. Sit in on classes, stay overnight, eat in cafeteria, etc.

These schools are so different in every aspect other than their high quality! One is a very intimate LAC; the other a very large, Div I school with both great academics and great football!
Where do you think you would be more comfortable? That's where you belong. I have rarely seen a kid who thinks s/he would be equally happy at both.
