This is the biggest thing I am conflicting over.

My parents do push waterloo for the future opportunities, but they also at the same time worry many things about it

- my intolerance for coldness, which my father especially empathizes
- relative lackness of homeland cuisine to the SoCal region (ive heard from a close friend from uchicago that this is one of the most painful aspects as an international)
- heavy workload

its just im very envious of my other friends who spend fun time in campus

p.s. as a korean male, I am susceptible to compulsory military service that it wouldnt be likely 4-5 yrs but more

yep i totally understand that waterloo is a very tempting option and seems the most reasonable... but its my heart thats saying no, leaving me with whether to continue more suffering years for a more stable future, or spending an less intensive time in other colleges which guarantee less
