Schools: Arizona State University, Virginia Tech
Intended major: International relations/political science/global affairs
Virginia Tech
School 1 Pros:

  • Somewhat close to family, Really homey feel to the campus, Better ranked
  • Actually has international relations programme, along with good connections and internships (DoS, etc)
    -Climate is more what I’m used to, Super pretty, Many people I know are there/going

School 1 Cons:

  • Expensive (25k/yr), Kinda isolated

Arizona State University
School 2 Pros:

  • Big community, Lots of new buildings
  • VERY cheap (basically full ride)
  • Phoenix is a nice city with family friends nearby, Likely honors college
  • May transfer to Thunderbird school of global management if i do not like major

School 2 Cons:

  • Does not have IR programme. only has global studies and polsci
  • Far away from fam (logistically difficult and expensive), HOT.
  • Party school..? not that i’m opposed, but reputations etc, Not as highly ranked

Tiebreaking considerations:

  • Will my VT degree be worth the extra $$ How important is a T60 rank to a T150?
