As I returned from the American Planning Association’s 2007 National Planning Conference in Philadelphia, I rummaged through some past papers and chanced upon an offer letter that I have been unable to let go of.
Thomas Jefferson or William Penn?
When I look back to why I chose UVA over UPenn, the cost of living at Charlottesville v. Philadelphia, not Public Ivy v. Ivy League, proved to be the determining factor given finances. Although UVA did not play to my strengths in physical design, focusing more on the sociological aspects of planning that I now believe to be closer to the core principles of planning, it was extremely enriching and rewarding.
So, as some of you may be deciding on which offer letter to accept this fall, here is a little advice- focus on the one you really want and everything else might just fall in place. But even if you do not or can not, individual effort can even things out.
Good luck!
