<p>I know they are very different, but the main things I look for is having a reputable history degree and being in a safe environment while being in great areas. The locations are night and day from one another, but I would enjoy living in both types of areas. I’m very easy-going and living in a scenic area would be a nice change of pace from where I am know, which is the busy and constantly moving area of Northern Virginia… I’m applying EA to Sewanee and RD to American University. If you have insight to give, your posts are appreciated.</p>
