Just a quick question for fun, if you could attend any school ranked outside of USNWR’s top 50 for undergrad, which would you attend?
Rules:
School must have a ranking of 51 or higher on USNWR’s National Universities or National Liberal Arts Colleges list.
All regional colleges/universities are fair game as well.
Cost is no object, assume that no college would cost any more than the other.
My S had a fantastic experience when he was at Forham and I love NYC so I’d go there!
My top choice isn’t in the top 50 anyway (had to look it up, it’s at #60). Worchester Polytechnic Institute.
I’d love to go to Syracuse. I visited NYC for a week 2 years ago, and it might’ve been the best week of my life
It’s so diverse, with so many activities to do, and a lot of food to eat. Plus, I’m a Knicks fan.
UC Santa Cruz - warm weather, students seem laid back and liberal but most importantly the campus is absolutely BEAUTIFUL.
The Ohio State University! Great academics, research opportunities, extracurricular activities, Greek life, Division 1 top ranked sports programs (Go Bucks!), intramural sports, rah rah school spirit, new and updated facilities and brand new north campus. IMO it is certainly as good as and perhaps better than these other National Universities in the top 50 (such as UCal-San Diego, Ucal-Irvine, Penn State, Villanova, UFlorida, UMiami, Pepperdine and Wisconsin).
Reed College.
Portland, Oregon.
CR 660-750
M 620-730
Syracuse is not technically in NYC though. According to Google Maps, Syracuse University is actually 249 miles from Madison Square Garden, where the Knicks play.
In terms of mileage, Syracuse is slightly closer to the Air Canada Centre, home of the Toronto Raptors.
