Due to a call off of a wait list, we have a final decision to make.
Loyola College, MD or Providence College, RI. Does anyone out there have experience with both? It looks like Loyola is a higher-ranked school. About a 5K difference in price between the two. Not enough to let cost difference be a factor. Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
I have been to both schools and love them both. This is a very tough call to make. Make a list of the pros and cons. The weather may be a little nicer in Baltimore. It could come down to a coin toss.(only kidding).I think Providence may have a little more diversity. You can't go wrong at either place.
Students at both Colleges seem very happy. Providence may have more name recognition. This is basically a draw. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
There is, however, a difference in required courses. Take a look at Providence's Western Civ requirement. How many class slots does it take up and how much room is it leaving for a student to explore many other areas?
Where can u do minor, etc...Would look very closely at this.
