<p>I really like high school, but I can’t wait to leave either. I think I’m more sick of this city than school itself…I’m really not looking forward to leaving my friends and family, as sappy as that sounds.</p>
<p>It honestly wouldn’t bother me at all.</p>
<hr>
<p>going to a single gender school? </p>
<p>I don’t really mind going to an all boys school that much, there are some perks, but a couple obvious downsides. Meh, there for the education. I’m sure there would be perks to get away from us boys, lol.</p>
<p>I would be extremely agitated at an all boys school haha.</p>
<p>Yeah, it was definitely an adjustment. And you gotta work a little harder to keep up your social skills, but but it can be done. </p>
<p>On the plus side, we have powerhouse sports and we can act like complete morons without completely embarrassing ourselves.</p>
<p>Lol, I’d opt to go to an all-girls school for the education too. </p>
<p>Have you guys visited any colleges yet?</p>
<p>I’ve visited Columbia, NYU and Penn. Princeton doesn’t really count b/c I see it every day. Most of my college visiting will occur during spring break this year.</p>
<p>Do you really? I’ve just visited a few UC’s so far. Hopefully I’ll be able to see more colleges over the next few months.</p>
<p>Yeah, I live 5 minutes away from the campus. I planned on tagging along with my dad on a business trip to visit Stanford over winter break, but I had a track meet.</p>
<p>Aww, well hopefully you will be able to see it eventually. I haven’t even seen it though and I live in the Bay Area lol</p>
<p>Haha, its a quick trip for you though. I was actually born in California and moved to Jersey so I still have some interest in California schools.</p>
<p>I’ve been to four*, Alabama, Dayton, OSU and Case Western. Very impressed with the first two, OSU was better than I thougt and the last one is good but too close to home.</p>
<p>Did you mean official or just kind of drive-by tours</p>
<p>NYU I just looked around because I’m not extremely interested in the school. I went to an official tour at Princeton, Penn and Columbia though, 1 hour info session then a 1 hour campus tour. Feelings toward Princeton are pretty ambivalent because its in such close proximity to where I live, and although Columbia was pretty good, I’m not too interested in attending college in NYC. Penn was really sweet though and the Wharton building was just awesome.</p>
<p>Freshman year, I really liked high school and thought 4 years wouldn’t be enough. Now I still feel this way :)</p>
<p>But college might be exciting.</p>
<p>My parents seemed to have dragged to every college campus that was around on all of our family trips, but I’ve only done formal tours or tours with passionate alums at the the above four.</p>
<p>I visited…Sarah Lawrence, Yale, Connecticut College, and Stanford this summer. I also took a look around Harvard, but not a guided tour or anything. My parents and I were just in Cambridge for the day and it started raining, so we ended up spending the entire day in a bookstore. I was also going to look around more Bay Area schools since I was there for three weeks, but I ended up spending the entire time watching TV. 
I’m visiting more colleges this spring break and maybe during the summer.</p>
<p>You didn’t visit any other Cali/NY schools on your trips to Sarah Lawrence or Stanford?</p>
<p>Pretty many actually. Colgate, Richmond, UVa, Washington & Lee, William & Mary, and I’ve been on the Cornell campus a lot but haven’t done anything official yet. I have a trip coming up to do Hamilton, Cornell officially, and go back to Colgate because it’s my first choice by a lot right now. Woot LACs.</p>
<p>^^ When I was in the Bay Area, I was there for an actual vacation, so I spent most of my time just vegging out. As for NY…I was too busy being a tourist to visit schools 
We did go past one of the buildings of NYU, but didn’t do a tour or anything.</p>
<p>I’m coming up with a new list of colleges based on my PSAT score…anyone else having to change theirs?</p>
<p>^^^^
Going up or down?</p>
<p>Mine is mostly staying the same, applying to a lot of safties/low matches. Might add some more reaches.</p>
