>>12741344There are several well known profs id like to work with at both schools. I'll certainly look at the funding side of things. I'll also try to meet / chat with them to see what their intents are for students. Thanks for the tips regarding funding and prestige.
I love the city, and both schools are in cities. But I definitely am leaning toward the private school (in a big east coast city) whereas the public school is in a big southwest city. Both expensive areas and pretty similar overall beyond the obvious cultural differences of the northeast and the southwest.
I don't know, they feel nearly equal. Maybe I'll meet some professor who convinces me otherwise.
