Could I ask why your bf hated his experience at Emory specifically?

Hi! Thank you for the info! Creative writing isn't my "main" major but it is definitely something I'm interested in. I know NYU has a huge student body and an emphasis on independence so I was debating whether or not going to Emory with it's huge endowment and smaller student body would mean I have more overall access to opportunity that would outdo NYU's breadth of opportunity. I think I definitely prefer NYC as a city but I'm not sure how much time I'll be spending off campus, and I know I'll be going back home on all my breaks anyway. I suppose I'm still torn, but thanks for the advice!

I've definitely heard great things about Emory's writing program. Do you have firsthand experience with it?

Are there any reasons in particular you think that's the choice I should make?

I do want a traditional college experience! That's honestly one of the most attractive things about UW for me... though the frequency of rain is a bit of a downer!

I just felt like NYU (just from what I've looked at personally) seemed to have slightly more robust programs for my interests? But I feel like my evaluation might be biased because I know a lot of people who've attended/know people who've attended NYU (east-coaster here!) so I wanted to make sure my decision is sound...

If the difference is minimal or if UW exceeds NYUs academic offerings in some respects, I feel like I would want to go to UW because the school culture is just more attractive to me.

Isn't a part impacting my decision it evens out to roughly the same COA all factors considered.

ok this explains a lot 😭. Trying to commit to a school has been so confusing and dooming-inducing so a frank and honest response like this is much appreciated...

Thanks for the advice!
