Penn CAS or Georgetown COL?

I’m extremely thankful to have been admitted to these two amazing institutions, but I’m truly torn. I was admitted to the colleges of both schools, and I hope to double major in PoliSci and Econ, if the course load proves to be manageable.

I was able to visit both schools during their admitted students’ days, but I didn’t really have an intuitive “feeling” about either school, hence why I took to the internet. I love and think that I prefer the Georgetown and DC area, but Philly also has a lot to offer (and good food). I also attended lectures at both schools and believed the Georgetown professors to be a lot more engaging. However, I found that Penn is such a spirited, lively campus, and the advantages of attending an Ivy League institution are, of course, undeniable.

Side note: At the moment, I plan on attending law school, so things like grade inflation and accessibility to internships are also pretty important factors to me.

If anyone can provide some advice or pros/cons, it would be much appreciated!
