Congratulations on your achievements!

Only you can say what feels “too urban” for you. You will be living at the college for four years, so campus life is not a meaningless consideration in comparison to majors and academic interests. It is important.

You did a great job of naming some colleges with more of a campus-centered experience. So, apply to them, and to similar ones. If you still are attracted by GW, despite the lack of campus-centered living, apply to it! If it is a top choice in April but you are still unsure, then visit it and your favorite of the campus-centered colleges, to compare them before deciding which to attend.

Your mom is right that you will want to apply to several colleges you are seriously considering and then see where you get in. But you also want to make sure that those colleges will meet your search criteria.
