  1. I'm having a hard time picking between two programs (I know, great problem to have). I've been accepted into Berkeley--the Holy Grail of English Lit--and a very small, private school--prestigious, but much further down the list than Berkeley. The latter, I think, is a better fit for me in every way: the class size, atmosphere, location (closer to everyone I have ever cared about by thousands of miles), probably better funding (haven't received word from Berkeley yet), and the one professor I've dreamed of working with. My parents, closest friends, and therapist all tell me I should choose this latter school, because they think it'll make me happier. However, my advisors tell me to go to Berkeley because it is the most renowned. I've come to feel pretty good about choosing school B, but there are times when I feel the horrific grip of pride--of knowing I could have had the better name on my resume, but giving it up. Am I making a crazy choice here?
