Good school for me?

College Search & Lists
1

The prestige of the Ivy League has always allured me, but what is actually a good college for my needs?
Preferences:
-Either East Coast or West Coast (#disruptive selection)
-Good, but not great men’s volleyball team
-I plan to major in Biomedical Engineering and minor in Business. I want a school at least decent for both of these, but I know that my passion for this will succeed any school’s ability to teach me at some point.
-In a city, within walking distance from a lot of stores.
-Within a 5 hour train ride to a big city (New York, LA, Seattle, etc)
-Half old architecture, half modernized architecture. I love as modern as possible, but I know many colleges, like the Ivy League, were built a while back.
-Very social atmosphere. I want to be able to talk to anyone and do lots of fun stuff and build friendships for the future.
-Preferably in the top 10% of all schools

What schools sound good for me?

I’m not sure about architecture but MIT qualifies otherwise. At least they used to have a good VB team (not sure these days).

Ah ok, I saw the front of MIT once. Is there a back or is MIT mostly in a building? I forgot, it’s been like 6 years

Stanford?

Doubtful the OP could even be a walk on at Stanford. http://www.collegefactual.com/rankings/sports/volleyball-men/p2.html

Pepperdine

And that’s a better team than Stanford (top 10).
