hey, i actually got into all 3 of those schools too and the only one im still considering is udel. letme explain why…

binghamton: I only applied here because lets face it, everyone in ny did lol. I just have no interest in going to a SUNY. Everyone you meet is going to be from NY and if you’re instate like I am you may want a change of scenery from that. I’m from long island and I know going to bing would be different than living here but I just feel like everyone there would know where I’m from and I don’t like that. I wanna move away somewhere with a more diverse student body. (I should also note that I didn’t visit bing!)

brandeis- It’s a cute little school with great academics. I don’t have anything bad to say about it. But it’s just not the place for me. I like bigger schools and honestly, the whole jewish scene at brandeis is unappealing to me. I’m jewish but completely not into my religion or religion in general. A school with such a large presence of religion isn’t my place. I also didn’t find anything about the surrounding area that appealing. I know you can get into boston easily but I’d rather be in a city not outside of it.

UDel I actually just visited for the first time yesterday, and I loved it! It’s a big school which I like because theres always something going on and new people to meet. It has great campus life and school spirit which I love. The only thing that worries me about UDel is that most people I know don’t look at it as being as strong academically as other schools I got into. But I don’t think a school should only be chosen based on its academics. Like since you’re in honors you’ll probably have a better academic experience though one of the reasons I didn’t want to be in honors is because I didn’t wanna be housed with honors students. Being in a university’s honor system has its perks.

So yeah, clearly I’d choose udel out of the 3. I’m deciding between udel and ucla mainly but also some others like tulane usc lehigh & american

Also from a money stand point udel isn’t that expensive! I mean if you’re from ny bing is a great value, but i think udel is worth the extra money =]
