I'm looking for a College that...

College Search & Lists
1

<ol>
<li>meets full financial need of admitted students.
2.Is in/around large cities (Not as important)</li>
<li>Has a good study abroad program (I want to travel abroad at least one semester)</li>
<li>Is a good all around school (undeclared major D: But I’m leaning towards business right now. Tomorrow it might be engineering hahaha)</li>
<li>Is fairly selective (Not as important. lower 30s ACT, average extracurriculars, around 100-200 hours of community service)</li>
<li>Nice climate is always a plus, but not necessarily a requirement</li>
</ol>

<p>Yep, that’s about it. I’m the first kid in my family to go to college and 95% of the graduates from my high school either go to cc or the local university. If you have any suggestions, please post. I’m kinda lost here and I don’t have a lot of people to ask about this haha </p>

<p>Thanks in advance :)</p>

<p>ETA- I’ve used that super match thingy on this website, but all I am getting are Ivy league and other super selective schools. Those might be fine for reaches, but I’d like to have a few schools on my list that are just a tiny bit more realistic. hahaha</p>

<p>If you are female, I suggest you look at Smith.</p>

<p>I doesn’t meet all your criteria, but it meets need, has a good study abroad program, not too far from either New York or Boston (Megabus can get you to New York for a minimal cost), and it has a great reputation. It isn’t “ivy” selective, either.</p>

<p>[Agnes</a> Scott - ASC at a Glance](<a href=“http://agnesscott.edu/about/ascfacts.aspx]Agnes”>http://agnesscott.edu/about/ascfacts.aspx)</p>

<p>If you would consider a women’s college (if you are female!) take a look at Agnes Scott.</p>

<p>yes, I am female. Thanks a ton!</p>

<p>Here is a list of colleges that meet full need:</p>

<p>[Colleges</a> That Claim to Meet the Full Financial Needs of Students - US News and World Report](<a href=“http://www.usnews.com/education/articles/2010/02/18/colleges-that-claim-to-meet-the-full-financial-needs-of-students]Colleges”>http://www.usnews.com/education/articles/2010/02/18/colleges-that-claim-to-meet-the-full-financial-needs-of-students)</p>

<p>It includes the cities and states of each.</p>

<p>Have you actually run your financial numbers through a calculator to see what you might expect from FA? Many families are surprised at what their portion will be. If you are competitive for some Ivies you might want to consider some schools with good merit aid instead.</p>

<p>I thought of Barnard.</p>

<p>thank you for the info/links/advice.</p>

<p>Hendrix College in Arkansas is another good one.
Check it out in “Princeton Review’s Best 373” or on the Princeton Review website.</p>

<p>Barnard! Agreed! But its pretty selective, and I think that they look a lot at your extracurriculars.</p>
