I have to make a choice．Princeton, along with its significantly better financial （财政的）aid package．Or Yale, which wrote me a letter praising my writing skills and saying that his university is prefect for me．

First of all, I sent e-mails to some friends, asking for advice．The feedback was half and half． I also sought opinions from current students．The Yale Website was friendlier, giving me the names of Yalies from China．

I sent my questions and concerns to all of them．From their replies, I could tell that these Chinese students, whether they are American Chinese or native Chinese, were all enthusiastic(热心的)about Yale．Their love for the school shone through their words．I was beginning to lean toward Yale．

The next deciding factor （因素）is the Spring Visit．I went down to New Haven, Connecticut, and was very excited to see Yale．I think it is the most beautiful campus, though most people would disagree．(Princeton is said to have the most beautiful campus of all the Ivy League universities．) Compared with the red brick buildings at Harvard or Andover, I appreciate the Gothic(哥特式的) styles of Yale much more．

The culture in Yale is also more attractive than Princeton’s．I went to an event held by CASA( Chinese American Students Association), and met many Chinese Americans there．I discovered Yale’s Chinese population is very active and often stages cultural events．I even bought a shirt that reads “ Ye Lu Da Xue” in traditional Chinese．

I enjoyed Yale so much that I began to feel glad that Harvard had refused me． I used to think it was Harvard or nothing．Had I been accepted, I wouldn’t have given Yale or Princeton a chance．
