@Lindagaf: I didn’t say it would be worse. Some kids would like it. But the OP shouldn’t kid himself about the resources and student body (and quality of TAs, outside of certain departments) being comparable. And if he isn’t in to partying, then what are the draws of 'Zona besides money and weather?

Mind you, those are legitimate reasons to choose UA, but I think he should dispassionately list down the pro’s/con’s of each school rather than going off feelings. He says he just doesn’t feel excited telling people that he is going to WashU. Would he get a rush if he said he was going to UA? He should try that out a few times (at least imagine it in his head) as well.
