Since you guys are seasoned veterans, if you could choose, where would you go?

luvmykitties said:I interviewed at SLU, MCW, VCU, and RF. I ended up picking MCW. It all came down to my impressions of the schools when I visited them. None of the schools outrank each other enough to decide based on that(in my opinion).
SLU has block scheduling, was right in the middle of St. Louis, looked a little run down(the section I was in anyway but I think they were building something new), and as expected, put somewhat of an emphasis on the Catholic religion(there were crosses hanging in the lunch area and students mentioned visiting with the school priest for advice).
MCW has traditional scheduling, was in a suburb of Milwaukee, had nice facilities, friendly students, and didn't make you meet until 12(I know stupid reason, but for a night owl this was a plus).
Anyway, I think you can get a good education at either school, just pick the one that fits you best. For example, some may think that going to school in a suburb is boring, but for me its one of the things I love about MCW- I'm older, married, and really wanted to buy a house. Downtown Milwaukee is just a few minutes away if I want to go there. I am from the D.C. area, and I don't miss the traffic or the outrageous housing prices!
