My son has gotten into many schools, which is a good thing, I know. But now he is confused! He has narrowed this difficult choice to Mary Washington and Susquehanna. Can any of you comment on the pros and cons of either or both? Although the cost is an obvious difference, he will get a substantial merit scholarship at Susquehanna and fortunately finances are not a major concern. He has LD and has spoken to disability services offices at both schools, and feels comfortable working with both. He has worked very hard in HS and I would like to think that he can go somewhere to be a big fish in a small pond, and where he has time to get some balance in his life. He is a serious student but he also needs to spend time exploring things outside the classroom My impression is that the academics at Susquehanna are less intense than at Mary Washington, but I could be wrong. Please help if you can! Thanks,.
