I’ve just been accepted to both schools and I’ve been debating which one is better for me. I live just outside of Philly so Penn is really close to home and I like the city, but most people seem to prefer Chicago/Evanston. At both schools, I’d likely be an Econ major, but at NU I might double major in Radio/TV/Film, whereas Penn I would consider PPE.

Most of the threads I’ve seen on here seem to point out more similarities than differences between these two schools. Cost is about the same between the two so that’s not a major consideration. Can anyone help me pick which school to choose?
