<p>GW has a better location (foggy bottom, essentially downtown DC) than tufts (medford, not actually boston). depending on what you do, you’re more likely to find internships in DC (however, boston would be better specifically for computer science internships). BOTH are exceptional schools for international relations, so that probably shouldn’t factor too much (however, GW might revoke your scholarship if you switch out of SEAS). both are decent for econ as well. science isn’t quite GW’s strength, though it is improving significantly (the massive new engineering building should be open by your sophomore year, hiring more faculty, etc etc). i’m not sure if tufts is THAT much better for engineering, so i can’t speak to that. but im pretty sure it would be better for science/pre-med. both offer respectable undergrad liberal arts educations, that’s generally how most regular universities in the US are run. $30k is pretty exceptional for an international student, so i would generally say go where the money is (GW in this case). you’ll save 120k across 4 years, which is a pretty hefty sum. however, if you feel a stronger connection to tufts and can afford it, that might be the better call.</p>
