<p>My final decision was also between W&M and Chicago. I chose W&M largely for financial reasons, but I’m very happy with my decision.</p>
<p>I think W&M is not quite as stressful as Chicago, although both are pretty high up there. Faculty are probably more accessible here, but we don’t have the superstars Chicago does. We’re not in the middle of a big city, so there is less to do off-campus, but we also don’t need security guards for our dormitories.</p>
<p>Do you know what you want to major in? This could be important in your decision. If you want to study Tibetan or something like that you’re better of at Chicago.</p>
