TRAVEL

During the spring, I travel to poverty-ridden areas of Haiti and dedicate my time and services to underprivileged families by building homes, wells, and volunteering at a local hospital.

Schools I am considering:
I am thinking of schools that are “liberal/open-minded”, diverse, city-like area.
My number one is NYU for that reason. Any other schools I should look into?

My list:
Boston College
Drexel
NYU
SUNY Binghamton
Syracuse University
Stony Brook University
University of Rochester
Penn State
Rutgers
University of Scranton
UPenn
Northeastern
Brown
