I've decided, after a very thorough two weeks of contemplation, that I am going to be an ICO brat in the fall!!!!!!
I do love NEWENCO, but when I began to examine why I loved NEWENCO, it wasn't entirely because of the education (althouhg they do have wonderful faculty and a great, innovative curriculum). I realized it was because of Boston and because of the architecture. I just wanted to be the privileged girl from the east coast instead of who I am (which is far from that, trust me). I know that sounds stupid, but well....I guess I don't really have an explanation for that. I wanted to be in some sort of fantasy from my childhood and it blinded me to the disadvantages, which I feel are the costs, and the relatively small clinic system. Of course, it is a wonderful school and these are only my opinions.
I remain devoted to ICO for it's wonderful, extensive clinic, facilities and varied patient base. I also have a gut feeling that I belong there.
And at the end, I did, of course, have to think of my husband. It is unfair to ask him to rip up his whole life to go to Boston just because I want to be an east coast brat. He'll have a much better time in Chicago, and won't have to leave his family or friends. And, I do love him so much. I don't want to be separated for long periods of time. It would be awful.
I hope that I made the right decision and I hope not to have regrets. Of course, time will tell.
Thanks to all who offered their advice and sympathy.
