I have spent the past couple of weeks trying to decide between going to Loyola Marymount University and Reed College. I aways thought that no matter my financial circumstances I would got to Reed if accepted. Obviously it has a very different academic environment than LMU and many other universities that I have researched. I loved reading about a college where students hang out in the library and are very close to the professors. As someone from a small school, that is really important to me. However, LMU is offering me a full ride while Reed is offering me significantly less. I’m just wondering if it is worth giving up a full ride to LMU to go to Reed. I don’t want to spend a lot of money on my undergrad education when I know I will be applying to grade school. Furthermore, I have gotten into the Honors Program at LMU and LMU is participating in a research project that I an interested in.
