BU
Pros:
BOSTON!
Great opporitunities, funding
Close to family
Great food, dorms
Great placement in Finance (make big money)
Awesome buildings
CGS makes it easier to boost GPA

CONS:
Placed in CGS (have to start in Spring, forced to take gen eds, can't declare finance as a major or take many finance classes until junior year)
Grade deflation
Might be hard to declare a minor since CGS takes up hella classes
Worried about making friends starting in spring

Skidmore
Pros:
Cool campus, real campus....
Get to start in Fall
Like the small class sizes
Dad went and loved it

Cons:
Saratoga cool its just no Boston
Less major choices, doesn't really have my major (have to major in business with a minor in accounting to go into finance)
Less name recognition
Too small
Little far from home
Am I a liberal arts kid? harder to find friends in a school so small

#

GWU
Pros:
DC cool city
Gave merit scholarship (money isn't an issue, just a good gesture)
Got my major and get to start in fall

Cons:
Bad food
Mid dorms
Less reputation than BU
Feels like a watered down BU..
Not really a finance school, not great placement

If you go to BU and are in CGS please talk to me as well! Love to hear
