<p>tell us more. do you want to stay on the west coast? urban vs suburban vs rural? big school vs small? any particular activities you want on campus (such as greek life, a capella, sporting events well attended, theater, newspaper, etc etc)? any idea of what you want to major in?</p>

<p>I am really open to anything. I would prefer a public school because they are more affordable but I also like liberal arts colleges. My ideal school would be around 5,000 students in an urban (or suburban but within a few miles of a city) setting and I’d also love to have big sporting events at school and greek life but none of these are requirements. I am not sure what I want to major in but am considering psychology or communications.</p>

<p>Just thought of some more ideas on what I would want in a school:
-pretty laid back, not preppy
-either West or East Coast
-good social life
-students are involved and motivated</p>

<p>Any ideas would be appreciated!</p>
