I can’t decide which school. I visited all of them, but I feel like i’m okay with environment for all. I’m not definite on what I’m studying for college but i’m leaning towards business direction. Most likely study something like finance. Here are just some of the pros and cons for each. Please feel free to correct me if any of my facts are incorrect.

Berkeley

Good campus/college town life
Haas is a terrific business school

Cali is broke, and berkeley is a public school so im afraid of them increasing tuition
I have to apply to Haas and I can only apply once

Cons:
Expensive city overall to live in

Don’t know if for sure I want to do business and everyone at stern has a clear goal in mind and know what they want to do in life
mediocore school if i want to change to diff major

Northwestern
