I am tying to decide whether to attend Furman University or University of Richmond in the fall. I have been accepted to both and Furman has offered me an $18,000 dollar scholarship. I want to go on the pre-med or pre-vet track and attend graduate school after undergrad. I would like to attend a school with great academics, but I also want to be able to have a balanced and enjoyable college experience. I have a little over a 2,100 on the SAT and a 3.5 GPA at one of the highest ranking high schools in the United States (top 15). Richmond is a very expensive university, and while I am lucky enough to be able to attend, money is always something to consider. Would a student of my academic standings be able to keep the grades needed for medical school and enjoy a balanced lifestyle at Richmond? With all of this in mind which University do you think would offer me the best academic and social experience over the next four years?
