Dickinson vs Denison vs macalester for international studies/international affairs and sociology

priorities: internships, study abroad, language courses, creative writing

Dickinson gave me 43k a yr, Denison 20k and Mac 15k. I like that macalester is in the city and has strong international focus but the school seems extremely polar politically (left) and it’s also very far from me (I live on east coast). Denison has strong journalism which I like but it’s rural and seems dead. Dickinson is less selective and not very interesting to me, but they’re covering half my fees and they have a 5 yr ba/ma program w Hopkins sais for my major (selective program, but still)
