I don’t know where you are from. But there are schools in the South and middle of the US where you are likely to add geographic, ethnic, religious, or linguistic diversity. Those places will want you.
Whether you want them is up to you.
And do NOT pick a college or evaluate educational quality based on student comments. You aren’t buying a sandwich on Yelp. There are much better and more rigorous ways to assess educational quality.
So for example- if you wanted to study one of the engineering disciplines, there are colleges like Missouri M&T which is HIGHLY regarded by grad schools, employers, and engineering researchers in industry. It flies under the radar by the “person in the street”, which is somewhat irrelevant to the quality and rigor of the program.
What are your “better alternatives” elsewhere? Maybe share that with us so we can be helpful.
