I have received acceptance into both schools and am so confused as to what to do. I don’t definitely know if I want to be in communications or not, which is why I’m hesitant to go to Newhouse. It is definitely a possibility and an interest, but I just feel that if I get there and then decide it’s not what I want to do, I’m out of luck and will have to transfer, which I DON’T want to do. Also, their theater dept is really good and only those who are majoring in it can participate, while I want to be able to do theater recreationally. As for Wellesley, I really like the campus and academics but the fact that it is an all-girls school is sort of unfavorable, although I can’t really know because I’ve never been at an all-girls school. I wanted a more holistic college experience… studies, social life, friends… but I’m not huge into the social scene, so I thought maybe Wellesley would be for me. But I don’t want it to be TOO quiet and studious either.

Anyone have any advice? Gone to either of these schools?

Thanks
