Help a kid out : to play bball or go far away?

<p>Ok so I am a senior in high school in syracuse, ny and have a toughh decision.</p>

<p>I have always wanted to go to school far away and out of the state of new york but I play basketball and am getting recruited by several D3 schools in NY. Out of those schools the only school I am considering staying in NY and playing basketball at is Geneseo.</p>

<p>GPA - 3.3 SAT CR-590 M-600 W-550</p>

<p>If you were wondering the only reason I could get into Geneseo is for Bball.</p>

<p>These are the other colleges I am applying to or that I think I am applying to</p>

<p>USC - Yes I know it’s a huge reach
Loyola Marymount
Pepperdine
University of San Diego
San Diego State University
University of San Fran
University of Miami
Florida State University
Northeastern University
Loyola University (maryland)
Indiana University
Fordham University</p>

<p>So what I want to know is Geneseo the best education I can get? and should I trade it for the warmer weather/nicer city.</p>

<p>Also is the list I listed a reasonable list for my grades/sat?</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>Have you spoken to the other coaches? Are you looking for aid or can you pay for the other schools?</p>
