My home state is New York.
Some of the schools are academically below me I guess, so I’m hoping to get scholarships. My mom wants me to go to Binghamton if I get in because it’s a great school at a great price.
I liked UMD because of the atmosphere. I took a tour and immediately felt like I could see myself going to school there. I also love the location.
I also felt like I could see myself at Bing. I guess I like the big state school kind of feel. I also love all of the resources available to me. I really don’t know what I want to major in but I feel like these schools have so many options and opportunities for me to experiment in different fields.
Univ Rhode Island is on the list because my cousin goes there. I would considerate a safety.
I think I would love UNC-CH or UFlorida, the only issue is they are a little far.

I’m not sure about a major yet. However, I don’t think engineering is my thing. My parents have not been very straight forward with me about what they can afford, I think if I fall in love with a school that is expensive, they will try to make it work.

@pandamic and Erin’s Dad
Thank you so much! I’ll look into those schools!

@happy1
Thank you for the advice! I would much rather go to a school because I like it than because it’s well-known. I’m sure my parents would love to brag about a top ranked school but I’m the one who will actually be going there. Thanks for making me realize that. I will definitely look into those schools because I might end up loving them but I won’t apply just because they’re “better”. Thanks!
