I received this letter in the mail yesterday about private college week in Virginia encouraging me to go out and visit colleges, but after I did a little research I found out that these colleges aren’t really what I am looking for(religiously affiliated, small, in isolated or rural locations, or close to him).

When I look colleges in other states I kind of feel overwhelmed because its like I am starting my search all over from scratch. I have a school that I want to go to in state, but would also like to look at schools in other states. I would like appreciate if people who live in that state to recommend me some private schools(not public because of OOS acceptance rate and tuition).

What I am looking for are:

close to or in a city
not isolated
fairly large(more than or around 5000 students)
not affiliated with any religions
greek life does not dominate
good history or polisci departments

Thanks.

Also, not related to the thread, but I would like to add that I was shocked the day I found out private schools didn’t have OOS or IS tuition rates, but one fixed rate. :D
