The college search is not about trying to find the school where you fit in best. It’s about finding the school that is the best fit for you. I may be arguing semantics, but I think this is important. Your original statement makes it seem as though you will need to alter/change yourself to conform. The latter one is a place that is right for you, as you are, without you needing to be anything that you are not.
If you were to describe your ideal college experience, what would it be like? What kind of people would be around you? What kind of classes would you be taking? What would you be doing outside of class? What would you like the weather to be like? Are there any niche considerations that you would like accommodated? Is there a certain distance from home you would like to be? Would you like to be able to do an exchange program as a science major, and if so, for a summer, semester, or a year?
