What do you suggest?

I was recently admitted into Williams, Bowdoin, Vassar, Macalester, and the University of Richmond.

-I am a Hispanic, heterosexual male from Los Angeles. I'm a city kid, but I'm sure I'll be able to adjust to a more rural setting. (Maybe)
-I still have not decided on a major, but I'm leaning towards Biology, Engineering, or English.
-A college with a great studying abroad program is a must.
-Cute girls (preferably Asian, but I love all kinds of women) and open minded people.
-A college that'll be able to get me a well paying job or into graduate school easily.
-A nice, clean campus that has a friendly feel to it.
-I like to party, but not excessively.

What college would you recommend? If you need more information about me, just ask. Thank you!

Hispanic as in from what background. Mexican Salvadoran etc etc. I ask because if having a familiar community nearby give one campus a slight edge then you might consider one campus over the other.

That aside, based on purely academic reasons, I gotta go with Williams on this one. Although you have to visit. If you want an urban environment and a latino community close by then Macalester is the choice. I would knock Richmond off the list.

If you can visit Williams, Bowdoin and Macalester then do it. If you can only visit two then opt for Williams and Macalester only because Macalester is urban and you can gauge if you need that more being from LA, BUT I reiterate, Williams is top notch on par with Harvard, Yale, etc.

Thanks a bunch! I'm Honduran by the way.
I actually will be visiting and staying over at Macalester for a couple of days.
