help please! I can’t decide but I need to, and quickly… so because of waitlist, I have to decide between washu and mcgill tonight.
in short, I think the lifestyle/culture of mcgill and montreal suit me more, but the academics at washu are better (more prestigious, much smaller class sizes, more advising and guidance than mcgill, etc).
in the long run, is it better to go to the better school for academics (washu) or the better school socially (mcgill)??
i should note that i think i would end up being happy at either place, so is that enough to forget about mcgill?
any input is appreciated!
thanks!
