GT的国际学生起薪不如Wash U的，这个是事实。。。另外，DC的消费不是一般的高。

have  you seen CA or NYC??

Georgetown附近确实很贵就是....

I've actually been to CA and NYC for a few times so I'm certainly aware of the level of cost of living in both places. I was just offering a kind reminder in case that LZ hasn't already taken this factor into account in his decision making process. Of course, if money is not a problem for LZ then just disregard my post.

I wasn't questioning your credibility or anything. It was more of a complaint/whine about the prohibitive living cost in CA/NYC. That's all.
Now I have to go pump some $4.29/gallon gas, damn ....

Hello my friend.  And congrats on a great choice! Now, keep in mind that neither of these programs is known for manufacturing—and I cant tell from your question whether you are hoping to stay in that field.  Both schools are evenly matched from a reputation standpoint—if I were in your shoes, and this is a personal decision, I would go to Georgetown.  Why?  Because DC is so fun!  Great city, great exposure, and great culture.  Georgetown will also have a fabulous network—after all, Bill Clinton and others (their international affairs school is the best in the world) represent a great networking opportunity there, especially for international students.  So you cant go wrong here, and we love Olin.  But if I were in your shoes, for all the reasons mentioned, I’d go to G-town in DC…

去年版上有个同学应该跟你的情况一模一样，他最后选了GT。这个完全是个人的喜好问题了，实际一点就选Olin，享受一下就去GT。

呵呵有道理!

工作什么的只是part of our life.

Having fun when you have time is fairly important

关键没钱怎么have fun。。。周围一堆有钱人和高消费的地方，背着十万美元的loan的穷学生还fun什么？

顶一个sportman！不要把美国的midwest形容的那么不堪。NYC出了manhattan，也就是个大农村，皇后区你敢住吗? L.A.的downtown也是脏兮兮的。再说，ST.LOUIS也算是个大城市。其实从生活便利角度说，美国的生活硬件水平在哪里都差不多，都挺好的，所以有些人说某个学校硬件好硬件差，kind of joke。


OLIN有那么多免费啤酒喝，也够FUN的，对不对~sportman~
