<p>Thank you so much sk8rmom! I definitely will not cross out Stony Brook. I’ve actually been to Buffalo/Niagara Falls two years ago and didn’t really like the area. I definitely do not want a huge sports school. If they do not have football, that is fine with me. If they have a lot of clubs and intramural sports that would be good. UGA is basically the opposite of what I am looking for, but I am open and I’m still looking to apply. I would also prefer a small greek life. I like smaller class sizes and more one on one attention. I have a friend who goes to Illinois U at Urbana- Champaign and she said most of her professors do not even know her first name. I want my professors to know my first name. </p>
<p>I would like to be close to NYC because I act and would be looking to get an agent. I plan on auditioning while I am in college. If I go to a school where that cannot happen (Geneseo) it won’t be a huge deal. I really want to go to NY or LA due to acting though. I’m also looking at schools in Boston and DC. I also do not want to go to a party school or a school that has a huge drug scene. I still want a good social scene, but would like other options besides drinking and smoking. </p>
<p>I’m also liberal so that is semi important, but since most schools are liberal it shouldn’t be a problem. I would really love to be in a urban or suburban place, but I am open. The school really needs to have a great print journalism program and I would still like to try out for plays as a non major. I will probably minor in drama. </p>
<p>I have never used trains at all; however, I am willing to use them. Would I need a car if I went to New Paltz? I told my father about New Paltz, he is from New York. He told me it isn’t that great of school, but he hasn’t lived in New York since the 1980’s. He thought it would be too artsy for me. When I mentioned Binghamton, my mom and my dad thought it was a great idea. I am pretty sure the reps of the schools have changed since they lived there. I do not really fit any stereotypes. I am not a prep, but not a hip either. I like to write and I’m on the swim team. I am from the suburbs of South Florida and Georgia. Wherever I go, it will be a huge change. I am open to both liberal arts schools or universities. Beauty is something I would consider. I’ve heard Binghamton has a pretty ugly campus and a not so nice town. But that is some peoples opinion and I’m willing to consider many different schools. Price is huge for me, so that is a GREAT deal for any of these schools.</p>
