My choices... any thoughts?

<p>I’ve narrowed down my choices to three: Purdue University, Drew University, and Saint Anselm’s College. I’ve already put my deposit down for Purdue, but I’m still not sure I want to attend there. I’m interested in studying abroad (preferably in Ireland) and majoring in Behavioral Neuroscience or Psychology. I plan to pursue either my law degree or medical doctorate at (hopefully) either Dartmouth or Yale. Both Drew University and Saint Anselm’s College has had graduates accepted into both places for professional schooling/graduate studies. </p>

<p>I’m looking for an atmosphere comparable to Brown (students serious about academics, but still know how to have fun) any thoughts? Would the smaller schools have as many opportunities as Purdue in study abroad or internships? Is Purdue an academically prestigious school or does their reputation come from their athletics alone? Is Purdue a party school? I have until two weeks to make my decision for Saint Anselm’s, but Drew’s deadline is may 5th.</p>

<p>Any thoughts would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Huh? Have you visited these schools? </p>

<p>Purdue is in the Big 10. It has 40,000 students (about 30,000 undergrads)</p>

<p>Drew is a small LAC. It has around 2500 students (1600 undergrads)</p>

<p>Where would you be more comfortable? I’ve known kids at both. Each has its merits, but they are very, very different. Don’t know anything about St. A’s. Only you will know what is right for you.</p>
