<p>As the enrollment deposit deadline of May 1 has gone by, it pretty much looks like almost all the accepted applicants are quite sure about where they’ll be attending for the fall of 2014 by now. Some might still be having a hard time deciding between which safety school should they attend. Some might be hopeful of getting off the waiting list too. I created this thread so that people out here could give their unbiased opinions and arguments and help the confused ones take one of the most important decisions they’ll ever take in their lives. </p>
<p>I’ll have to pay 10k at Earlham and around 8k at Jacobs. The FA package of Earlham includes on campus job but Jacob’s doesn’t. At Jacobs I can work on campus from 2nd semester and earn an extra 2k a year. From all point of view, how are these two academic institutions compared? Which one do you think would be a better option?</p>
