Even if you already speak Ukrainian at an advanced level and don't need the courses, I think it would suit you well to go to the school that has made a strong commitment to Ukrainian studies and will continue to do so even after you graduate... and that includes offering Ukrainian language courses. Actually, I sounds like KU has made you a much better offer. Summer in L'viv?!? I say go for it!!! Reading your message, it sounds like your heart and mind are set on KU, but your advisors are telling you to do IU. Your advisors are people whom you've undoubtedly grown to trust and admire, so I can completely understand why their advice has you second-guessing yourself. However, it seems like you've seriously considered both programs. Both are great schools! But it's up to *you* (and not your professors) to decide which is a better fit for YOU. I hope this helps, good luck!
