<p>Hi, I’m a senior in high school and I have to commit to a school soon. I want to become a dentist and is probably going to major in the science field (probably bio). I’m deciding between SJSU and CU but I don’t know which one to choose. Here’s a list of the pros and cons for each school and any opinions would be great! </p>

<p>SJSU:</p>

<p>Pros: I like the big (bigger than Creighton) campus, tuition is cheaper, I probably have a easier time making friends here, and if I end up not continuing on the health route, their business major is what they’re known for (2nd choice of major)</p>

<p>Cons: Due to budget cut, might not be able to graduate in 4 years, not known for my major, homeless people could wander onto campus, the library is not just for the students at the school, too close to home (lives in CA)</p>

<p>Creighton:</p>

<p>Pros: they’re known for their health program, could graduate in 4 years, heard their are many internship and volunteering opportunities, I could find professors for help, and it’s far from home (wants to be away from home)</p>

<p>Cons: it’s a small campus, I might have a harder time to make friends, tuition is a bit pricey, have to take 6 religious classes due to their core curriculum (not a religious person), and if I end up not continuing on the health route, they don’t really have anything that’s good.</p>

<p>Does the environment play a factor in going to study at a school? Which school would be better for my case?</p>

<p>Any thoughts are appreciated. Thank You :)</p>

<p>Creighton has nothing to offer except for health program? Are you sure? How about its business program? Maybe it’s an alternative.</p>

<p>If you’re not a religious person, are you sure you’d be able to fit in at Creighton? Based on what I’ve read about the school it seems much more religious and conservative than SJSU</p>

<p>@ justrodict: well they do but their health programs are their forte.</p>

<p>@ whenhen: I went to the student admitted days and asked my host about the whole religious thing, she said there are some people there that aren’t religious and they seem to be fine. Also it’s not that hard with taking the religious classes. Also the people there are nice, but I’m just a little worried. I’m asian and the population is 77% white and 10% asian… So I’m assuming when you asked if I would fit in, the environment does play a factor?</p>
