@phil123 Did you choose a program?

@phil123Always good to get some input, but ultimately go with your gut! I just have personal experience with VT and I think it's a really cool spot for undergrad but maybe not for Grad where you need to be more focused and have less time for all the fun on campus stuff and tailgates during football season. If you're not a sports person then I think UWM and SFU will be more accommodating! VT football and basketball gets rowdy and there WILL be drunk students/alumni everywhere lol

Virginia Tech is in the middle of nowhere in Virginia so that's something to consider. UWM is obviously near a good-sized city and SFU is right outside of Vancouver so if you're not into the isolated college town environment then those are better choices from a lifestyle perspective. UWM is still an incredibly strong program and the one I would choose. SFU has a very unique trimester system that helps in timing when applying for grad school so I'd have this as my #2. Virginia Tech is a college town and a party school so you'll be surrounded by a lot of undergrads there for a good time which can be tough for finding a quite spot to live and study since you probably won't have the free time or desire to go wild on the weekends (and weekdays). Just my two cents, best of luck! Let us know where you choose, and congrats on the acceptances!!
