I'm so confused right now. Cornell, Penn, and Tufts each gave me the same amount of money and I don't know which one to pick. I'm from Maryland, and I want to study public health/nutrition.

What do you think??

Cornell has a nutrition major.

Tufts is well known haven for people that didn't get into an Ivy school, ala the "Tufts Syndrom" which is so frequently mentioned. I'd strike out Tufts and choose between the others

Right now, it just seems that Tufts would give me the best overall experience, Cornell would give me the best academic experience, and Penn...I dunno?

Penn - best social experience

I would say Cornell. It's good academically, and there are plenty of opportunities socially as well. Arguably, it's reputation is stronger and more here-to-stay..for whatever that is worth!

Cornell. I visted both penn and cornell this weekend and I got a MUCH better impression of Cornell. I just didnt like the city and urban campus at penn. All those people at penn look like they could beat me up if I wasnt cool enough or something

What college/major did you apply within Cornell? Nutrition? Cornell also offers majors in Human Ecology and Biology and Society which may both be things that you can take classes in if you choose Cornell (or even switch into). If you have any specific questions about Cornell that might help you make your decision let me know. (IM: Lmsgoodgirl)

I applied to Nutritional Sciences in Human Ecology. If I go there, I may double major in that and Human Development.

What about Tufts?
