Hi,

I’m a sophomore at a community college in the panhandle of Idaho, and was recently accepted to University of Miami and Stony Brook University for the spring 2015 semester. Which sounds better suited for me?

I’m a philosophy major on the pre-med track. I have well-rounded and varied interests (music, chinese studies, philosophy, chemistry, etc) and love discussion-based classes and hate big classes. I like being physically active, reading, and partying hard as well.

I don’t have any preference for weather (I’ve dealt with both Miami hurricanes and Idaho winters).

Ultimately, what is better for academics?

Thanks.
