Hello everyone,
I’m an economics major and I would like to work in a city when I graduate (not necessarily New York, not investment banking). I’m deciding between Cornell and Vanderbilt. The financial aid is about the same and I don’t really care about the weather because I’m from the north anyways. I’m leaning towards Vanderbilt because I feel like students have a happier experience there, but I have already passed up on Stern so it’s hard to give up Cornell as well because I have heard that it’s harder to get a job outside of the south at Vanderbilt (I’m not sure if this is true?). Cornell has a better name but a lot of kids from my high school go there and I feel like I would be too shy/embarrassed to try anything new whereas I don’t know anyone at Vanderbilt and I would be more likely to be outgoing there. I just want to be happy but also have the best tools to actualize my potential. I’m not sure what to do.
