<p>Hey Anjili,</p>
<p>International studies is going to be a combination of political science and economics, so you’re going to look for schools with the best rated programs in those two categories. Haverford does have very good financial aid, and if you want to go to graduate school, this may be the best option. (Haverford ranks 18th as a “feeder” school into top programs at Harvard, Yale, MIT, Princeton, etc.)</p>
<p>With that in mind, Haverford may provide better opportunities (Albeit, not by much at all.)</p>
<p>I love Haverford, and I didn’t even apply to Vassar, so I wouldn’t know much about the difference in campuses.</p>
<p>I recommend you really think about why you like Vassar. Don’t pick a school on debt, but don’t also be nearsighted about your college experience. Remember that you’ll also be able to take classes at Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore, and UPenn while at Haverford.</p>
<p>Feel free to PM me about my opinions and observations on Haverford, and I’d love to hear your decision.</p>

<li>Good luck!</li>
