<p>I am a first year community college student (graduated HS spring 2013), and I plan to transfer next year. I had my heart really set on Kenyon. They had everything I wanted. Then I discovered that they do not offer any scholarships whatsoever to transfer students. That’s fine, but my family is not in a financial position where I can afford to go to a school that does not offer scholarships to transfer students. I’ll probably still apply - not that I will get in, but you never know. </p>
<p>Anyway, that got me thinking about what I wanted in my Dream College. I was wondering if you could tell me about some colleges and universities that might match what I am looking for:</p>
<p>Location: Eastern, New England, North Eastern United States</p>
<p>Type: Private, liberal arts</p>
<p>Majors: Nationally ranked English/writing major; Major in Spanish and majors and minors in other languages</p>
<p>Enormous variety of clubs to join</p>
<p>Great study abroad opportunities</p>
<p>Scholarships available for transfer students</p>
<p>Active Harry Potter fanbase among students (includes Harry Potter Alliance, Quidditch Team, Harry Potter related clubs/events, etc)</p>
<p>I want to clarify why I am at a community college. I am a very intelligent person. However, my personal life collided with my grades in high school, and I graduated with a 2.88 GPA. This was mostly due to turning this in late, and doing poorly in a math course and a science course. I got a 25 on the ACT, 30s on English and Reading, but my score was brought down by the 18 on the Math and the 20 on the Science. I plan on retaking the ACT, and taking the SAT this fall/winter. I will be studying for them this time. I received honors in Academic Decathlon and Speech Team in high school, and I will be helping to assistant coach both of them at my old high school this year. I am a volunteer usher at the local community theatre and will be a volunteer tour guide at a local historical sight soon.</p>
