<p>Thisyearsgirl, if you decide to look in the Midwest, I’d check out Lawrence. They meet most of your requirements (I’m not sure if lacking a car is a problem, but I’m also not certain they allow freshman to have cars), and they have a long history with international students so would probably understand your financial situation better than most. Their admissions folks are very friendly and helpful, so if they look at all interesting to you, I’d go ahead and contact them even this early. They might be able to give you some guidance that you can apply to other schools too.</p>

I won’t have a car in college, so I’d need a school where all the necessities (grocery store, etc) are within walking distance, and where you don’t have to drive to find entertainment. For example, a college half an hour from a major city isn’t as attractive if the only way to get into the city is by car. </p>
<p>I’ll add Lawrence to my list of schools to check out. Thanks! :)</p>

<p>well, it is the parents forum</p>
<p>The OP wants small or medium-sized schools. Not many colleges in the 2,500-5,000 range. Ergo, mostly LAC’s are being suggested.</p>
