I really appreciate how thought out was this reply was! I should have clarified that I am an out of state student for Wisconsin. So they will be a more similar cost but in the end gw would still be pricier.
I’m so glad you brought up that a lot of people will be wanting similar things to me/have similar interests as that’s definitely something I’ve considered and do not love about gw. Even though uw-Madison does have 30k undergrads there are other factors that will make it easier for me to stand out there.
In the end if I honestly had to pick I’d do UW Madison I’m just mainly worried that not being in dc year round will hurt me. I really do love that city but I think at gw I would have a worse ‘college’ experience ex: gw administration, social atmosphere, academically. But I also want to be in dc so? I really appreciate the time you took to right this and will take it all under consideration!
