<p>How much FA did you get from Vanderbilt…typically they offer the best aid if they really want you to attend. If they gave you an equal or better FA offer to Penn, and Duke obviously did not, Vanderbilt would be the obvious choice. It has every academic distinction as Penn, and one heck of a better student experience as to campus life and fun! Not to put too much into this, but I know of 3 kids who have turned Penn down to attend Vanderbilt in the past month. Things are changing. If Duke can up their offer, that would be a great option as well. Penn is an OK campus, but it really is in a blighted part of Philly, which itself is a bit of a dump.</p>
