Hey everyone I’m getting ready to plan visits to colleges that I’m interested in, but it’s quite hard to narrow down some of my choices and frankly I don’t know much about certain ones.
I really would like a college with an intellectual feel to it, I love academics and just enjoy learning. I would like this feeling at the school I attend as it wasn’t present in my high school and I found myself staying away from social situations as much of the conversation turned into meaningless banter about parties. Some of my choices are Boston College, Trinity College, College of the Holy Cross, Wesleyan University, Hamilton College, Bucknell, while I doubt I’ll get in as even these colleges seem to be reaches, Brown and Columbia University interest me too. I live close to New York City if that helps choosing and while I would prefer to stay in the northeast/mid Atlantic area I was interested in the College of William and Mary in Virginia. If anyone could suggest or offer information about these I would be sincerely appreciative. Thank you.
