Tufts, Carleton, and UMich.

These are the three schools I’m deciding between right now. I’m interested in double majoring–one of the majors would be either Cognitive Science, Psychology, or Neuroscience. The other could be something like International Relations (or another social science).

I come from a very small private school and am a bit unsure of how I’ll adapt to a large school atmosphere. You might say, then, that UMich is out, but I don’t see it that way. Also, I’d like to know how well known each school is, as prestige makes a bit of a difference to me.

I’m from New York, got no financial aid unfortunately, so don’t factor cost into your discussion.

Last but not least, I want to go where I’ll be happiest. Which of these schools fit me best? Which should I choose?

THANKS!
