Thank you both so much for your insights and info. In my heart of hearts I know that my son will be happy at both because each speaks to him. But I think after we attend the accepted students days and he spends a night and sits in on a class, something may indeed click for him. On a much smaller scale, I remember choosing a sleep away camp when he was 9. We did not choose the fanciest camp or the one with the most bells and whistles or the best food. But he spent 9 great summers there (and might go back to be a counselor this summer). What made it the “right fit” was the people. Granted, this is a much more serious decision, but while I attended a great school (Brandeis) and got a great education, what made it an incredible experience for me was the people (other students, professors etc).

I feel like this has been dragging out for so long. I really want to buy a T-Shirt, put a sticker on my car and be able to focus all of my energy and attention in one direction :)
