<p>I won’t be able to make any college visits for any of the schools I’m applying to- which is a REALLY bad idea, I know. But because of cost concerns and overall time, I won’t be able to this summer.</p>
<p>I like Mt. Holyoke and its opportunities- the beautiful campus from what I’ve heard, the teachers, academics, etc. And it seems to be the perfect size of a school I want. But the area and remoteness of it is what I HIGHLY am doubting applying for. Plus I’ve never really lived anywhere except the northwest, so going to MA would be a big change. I want a change, but I don’t know how I would react to the remoteness even though I love everything else about the school.</p>
<p>That’s why most of the schools I’m trying to look at are in California or at least in a city- but a lot of them are competitive, and it feels like MHC is a good match for me and I have a possibility of gaining merit aid (which is a big concern- financial aid). If MHC moved to somewhere near LA (like Scripps College is), then that would be wonderful…</p>
<p>Do you know of any other schools similar to MHC (also doesn’t have to be women’s only) but possibly located in a more urban area?</p>
<p>(The other schools that are on my list to apply are Scripps, Clark U, Occidental, Barnard, U San Diego, U Washington Honors, Rice, and Stanford. But as you CAN SEE, these are all pretty high reaches.)</p>
