Hello all! I was recently accepted off the waitlist for Toledo and was hoping for some advice on whether or not I should end up switching my commitment. Any an all feedback is appreciated! Thank you everybody!
Oakland University William Beaumont
Pros:
Toledo
Pros:
Summary: TBH I don't know as much about UT as I do OUWB, but any additional feedback that anyone can give would be greatly appreciated! I have a couple days to make my decision, and right now I am leaning towards sticking with OUWB, but am not opposed to switching if a strong case is made for Toledo. Thank you everyone!
