<p>Zobroward, I’m fine with historical or loose connections; I just want to avoid connections like Notre Dame or Georgetown. And it’s not the connection I don’t want. I don’t really want to go to a place where students are almost religiously and/or culturally homogeneous. I do appreciate your help, though. :)</p>
<p>And BeanTownGirl, I actually have looked at those schools. I like Rochester, mostly because I’d probably be able to commute (so I’d save a ton), and I really like Brandeis (one of my friends, whose stats are similar to mine, whose parents make more money than mine do, is going there on a full ride - I also like how small it is and the diversity).</p>
