<p>I assume that you want to go to west coast school rather than anything in Eastern Time Zones?</p>
<p>I inadvertantly hit CIT thread rather than the one just below it on “CC Top Universities”</p>
<p>You may want to also try the other “C” university. My son also plays violin with lessons but is in no way-no how close to roommate; Who was an HS allstate violinist, and first chair/concertmaster at this university and his major was in ME. This school also gave my son 3 years as research assistant to robotics prof (not in his goals), 6 months paid internship on a major project. Son was also able to work with master and ph’d candidates in his second undergrad major. He’s now in grad school at another well-known college for MSCS.</p>
