Hi, guys-- very conflicted! Factors:
1) Denver's offered me $10k a year and American, nothing. Given Denver's higher tuition, this brings the cost of attendance to pretty equal footing, although in Denver I could potentially save a lot more on cost of living.
2) I feel like the nature nearby and smaller, quieter location of Denver would make it a better location fit, personally, for me. I love the outdoors and am easily distracted/overwhelmed by city life, and definitely romanticize Denver as a Western city, as someone dying to try out something West of Mississppi. However, you can't beat DC for internships and networking.
3) Denver's program seems like the better fit in terms of structure and focus. However, I'd like to work while in school-- probably as a waitress or something, but possibly full-time while taking classes part-time-- which makes Denver's quarter system, while interesting, a bit unappealing.
Thoughts?
