Ok. So I know this is a question that’s incredibly difficult to answer, but hopefully someone here can give me advice. I’ve been lucky enough to be offered a place at both Yale and Cambridge University in England (pending I meet my grades for A-Level), and I’m totally stuck as to what to do. For some background, I currently reside in the UK (but have American citizenship), hopeful poli sci/econ major, still unsure as to what I want to do with my future (something in the social sciences most likely). Cambridge has the advantage of being closer to home for me and maybe carries a better reputation in England, but I love the States, and think that a liberal arts education would suit me well. If cost is discounted, can anyone give any advice as to the advantages of either over the other? Are the two roughly equal in terms of reputation in the US?
