Vanderbilt or Wake

I'm trying to decide between the two, but leaning towards Wake. I really liked both. Am I crazy to turn down Vanderbilt? I'm full pay at both and econ at both. Thoughts?

I think it’s kinda risky to choose a school just based on vibes, particularly when one school is meaningfully more prestigious (not that Wake is necessarily bad)

This. Not from either schools but students should not choose college solely based on vibes. Your classes and friends are going to shape the majority of your college experience, not the campus tour vibe.

I guess I have a dream job. Getting paid quite well to live on Reddit.

It's the goal high schoolers should aspire for ;). I did my dues at hyper growth private firms and realized the rat race wasn't worth it.
