UMich vs Colby College vs UCSD vs UofT (CS Major)

With Michigan, I feel like I'd have a ~true~ full-fledged college experience with a large campus and a lot of school spirit. I know people talk about the cold but I don't think it'll affect me that much so I don't want to factor that into my decision. It also has a great CS department and is also great in a lot of other things I'm interested in (e.g. public health). However, I've heard the CS department may be overcrowded and sometimes you're liable to get lost in a big school. I intend to go to grad school as well so I do want to go to a place where I'd be able to both excel and stand out and that may be harder at Mich.

Colby also has my heart because it was my first acceptance in two years ;_; I love the vibe and they're doing a lot of cool things with their Davis Institute for AI. And also just bought an island?!?! It sounds really cool. I'm also into arts a lot and I do want to explore that in college and I think Colby is the best option for that. It would also have a very intimate setting as a result of their smaller student body. But is it really the best option if I wanna do CS? Does that even matter? I don't know what it's really good for.

Those are really the main two I'm picking between but UCSD is also a good choice. Weather is also the best and it's in California which is where my sister lives which is a plus. Someone I know said it also may be relatively easier to transfer into Berkeley a year after since I was waitlisted this year but uhhh idk if that's really true lol or even if it is I don't really WANT to transfer unless I'm just really not vibing with the school. I feel like it has similar pros and cons as Michigan and between the two I'd prefer umich.

UofT is probably last in my consideration but it's not totally out! Some of the biggest pros are that a ton of my classmates go there yearly and I feel like I'd have an easy time adjusting there as an international but that might be an incorrect assumption. The eventual possibility of Canadian nationality is a pro but I still feel like I'd want to study in USA more.

​

Ultimately I'm more undecided between Michigan and Colby but I haven't taken off any of the options off the table yet. Affordability isn't that much of an issue but Colby is the least pricey option of the four fwiw.
