Public High School in MA

<p>I’m looking for a small/medium size school with a good name. I’m looking at rural environments but the city is fine. Maybe majoring in Government? Economics? I’m not sure yet so I’d like a school that’s flexible for freshmen. </p>

<p>Reaches: Bowdoin, Colby, Bates, BC, Hamilton

<p>Thanks to you both! I’ll have to spend some time looking at these colleges ;)</p>

5

<p>Is BU too large for what you want?</p>

6

<p>Yeah, I think BU is a bit too large. I’ve heard that some freshmen classes can get up to 300 students. But I still haven’t toured there, so who knows.</p>

7

<p>Very few classes get that large. Mostly Intro classes really. I cant find the link, but I think it’s fewer than 10% that get that high.</p>

8

<p>What’s AP Java?</p>

9

<p>Java is a language for writing programs, etc., it’s an advanced (I think?) Computer Science class.</p>

10

<p>You should also look at Gettysburg College.</p>

11

<p>Oh I know what Java is, but I didn’t know they offered an AP class specifically in Java. Why not C++? Aren’t C++ and Visual Basic more useful?</p>

12

<p>Yeah, I wondered that, too, honestly. 'Cause when I had the AP tests this year I didn’t see Java on the list. I guess there’s two Computer Science exams, and one just covers Java? So that class is really AP Computer Science.</p>
