@sursumcorda If I may add, I would say go with your gut feeling too. However, I will say that when I visited Vanderbilt, I liked it well enough, but didn’t have that token cinematic experience of falling in love with any college I visited, and I’m here now and I absolutely love it. Perhaps that’s a cultural difference in terms of the American College Experience stereotype, but past a certain point, I think people can really thrive anywhere. Vanderbilt doesn’t necessarily have 100% of the things I want, but you can create avenues for that if you work hard enough. I have a highly desired research job that only grad students used to get, but I got it before I even arrived on campus as a freshman. That’s a matter of initiative and drive rather than the college presenting things to you on a platter.

That said, it sounds like the OOS may be a better fit due to opportunities as well as vibe from what you’ve written, but I just wanted to say for the record that I don’t really believe so much in the love at first sight college experience, at least for myself.
