What was your reasoning for choosing USD???

student430–I completely understand where you are coming from, and your reasoning is very, very valid. I pretty much didn’t list anything academic besides the small class sizes, haha.

It IS a TON of money, and I’m lucky to have gotten a lot of aid. And I’m not really concerned about prestige, because my field values internships and research over anything else–both of which are very, VERY easy to get at USD. And I’ve meet some professors–many of whom have had Ivy league education and are published, and genuinely love to teach. I believe the school is ranked 101 or something–which isn’t high enough for a lot of people.

I know I wouldn’t be attending if it wasn’t for the aid, so it would be wrong of me to convince you otherwise. Best of luck in whatever you choose :)
