<p>I’m looking for a college with around 5000~15000 students and in a good college town. I’m not sure what I will major in because I have a variety of interests but most likely civil engineering. I’m not interested in greek life. I’m looking Northeast / Midwest / Midatlantic / South. </p>

<p>Other information: Mother attended UMich, Father attended Duke</p>

<p>Any suggestions?? Any help would be appreciated!!</p>

<p>Why not the obvious choices…</p>

<p>Vandy, Georgia Tech, Carnegie Mellon, JHU, UWash, ivies that you like, MIT, UIUC, UMich, Purdue, etc.</p>

<p>If you want to add the west coast, Cal, Stanford, USC, Cal Tech…</p>

<p>For someone like you, Purdue would likely be a safety…and probably URoch.</p>

<p>Do you like the techie schools like RPI?</p>

<p>I don’t want to go to a tech school because I would like a 50/50 (or close) male/female ratio. Also, I’m not 100% sure of my major.</p>

<p>You should have a shot almost anywhere…Ivies may be a bit bigger than you want (ex. Penn, Cornell, Princeton, Columbia), both of your parent’s schools both are strong in engineering, maybe also look at Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Notre Dame, WashU.</p>

5

<p>So, if you’re not sure of your major, then any of the top schools would work…they mostly all have 50/50 male/female rations. The ivies, UWash, Duke, Vandy, UMich, UIUC, UVA, and the west coast schools.</p>
