I got accepted to Butler University and Sullivan university. I'm having a hard time deciding which school is the best fit for me. Please help!

you really want SDN strangers to decide your future? ... kidding... what aspect(s) do you like/dislike about each school?

Well both are private and expensive. But butler is rank and established. Sullivan is in my hometown and it's 3 years. Also I would have to worry about living expenses at butler while at Sullivan I could live at home and save money.

You better decide before Stoichiometrist tells you not to do pharmacy.

It can be quite overwhelming choosing between two schools with each having unique pros/cons. Fortunately, you've already been accepted to both schools, and you will become a pharmacist at the end of the day. This is a major accomplishment already and I commend you for your effort. I believe this is a good time to self reflect on what route you think will bring you success and happiness. Think about where you will be 10yrs from now and more importantly what you want to accomplish by then. I'd recommend making a list comparing both schools, carefully critique each one, and don't make rushed decisions (unless you have a deadline soon). The key is preparation. All the best.

I copied my response to a similar, and hate to say it, stupid question asked earlier. ~
I don't mean to seem condescending, but this is a bad question. You are asking people whom do not know you. You need to do more research into these programs, find out what you like/dislike, etc. Then you decide which school would fit you best, based on the aspects of each school and their importance to you. "Keep in mind UIC is a top 10 school", I am not too familiar with pharmacy school rankings nor what it is based on. You go to an accredited pharmacy school "ranked" #10 you will still have the same level of degree of a "ranked" #96 pharmacy school (unless you partake in a dual-degree program). Employers do not really care that much, if at all, whether the pharmacy school you graduated from was in the "Top #10", a PharmD is a PharmD. There's no "Attended #10 ranked pharm school" on your PharmD certificate. Forget these "rankings" and find out for yourself which school is a better fit for you.

Either that or you can think carefully whether signing away $200k+ in student loans for a terrible job market and poor work conditions is a good investment.
