Each campus has its own strengths and specialties, so it depends on what you're looking for in your college experience.

Meanwhile, the health institutions specialize in healthcare-related fields including medicine, nursing, biomedical sciences, health informatics, and public health.
Remember, it's also crucial to consider other factors, like the campus environment, location, available extracurricular activities, and so on, to make your college experience well-rounded. It's common to visit the campuses, if you are able, to get a feel for the environment and speak to current students or faculty.
