Still waiting for one, but already having difficulties picking

[TravelBug92]

I've heard back from all but one school, and so far they have all been offer letters. Even without hearing from that school, I am already having difficulty deciding on which school I should attend. I'm making a pros and cons list to see if that'd help, but it seems like everything sort of balances out in end, at least to me. Any advice?

 

School 1:

 

Pros:

top tier school

program is exactly what I am looking for

school itself is beautiful

located in a small city

guaranteed housing

 

Cons:

most expensive program

city is most expensive to live in (of those on my list)

accommodation far from academics (I have a busted ankle)

 

School 2:

 

Pros:

located in a small city that I know well and love

been to the school before 

well located

I know I would enjoy the program

least expensive cost-wise, already have some aid

 

Cons:

much lower ranking

program isn't exactly what I a looking for

not guaranteed housing

 

I was wondering if I would just be settling for school 2 if I choose there because I am comfortable with the city and school, when I feel like the program at school 1 fits what I want better? I feel like I will get a great education at either school, but I feel like future prospects may be slightly better if I go to school one. This will all change if I get accepted to the school I am still waiting for, but I am just really conflicted about what to do right now.
