College Search & Lists

<p>I am looking for a college that is…

  • not a huge school (not as big as like michigan, florida, penn state, etc) preferably mid size
  • sports is either somewhat big or really big
  • academics are solid to strong (students around 3.5gpa and up; SAT 1900-2000 and up)
  • campus is NOT ugly
  • good location (internship, opportunities, pretty, etc)
  • not expensive…(beginning tuition under 40,000)
  • maybe more than a little of international students</p>

<p>Are there any colleges that fit all or most of this criteria?</p>

<p>PLEASE HELP :)</p>

<p>University of Miami is the perfect school.</p>

3

<p>Drake University fits these criteria. Although, total tuition and room/board is nearing 40k…</p>

<p>Sent from my SPH-M830 using CC</p>

4

<p>But Drake does give out great aid.</p>

5

<p>Northwestern is a good bit more challenging than the stats you listed, and it’s more expensive (but it has very good financial aid) but it fits everything else perfectly.</p>

6

<p>Northwestern is a bit out of my reach haha
Are there schools like this maybe in the top 50 ranks? (not saying ranks matter the most…but just curious) maybe top 60?</p>

<p>Are you an international? If not, then many schools will offer you merit scholarships or other financial aid. </p>

<p>Cal Poly SLO, a mid sized university, fits most of your criteria. The curriculum places a heavy emphasis on co-ops, students show up in droves for the soccer games, and it’s not particularly expensive. </p>

<p>Appalachian State (not a very good location for internships) also fits most of your preferences especially the cost criteria.</p>

8

<p>Baylor U fits all criteria accept probably internships. Its in the middle of Waco, Texas…it’s pretty big too.</p>

<p>I second drake and would add butler university</p>

<p>

Syracuse meets almost all of those criteria except cost (tuition is ~$40K).</p>

<p>[Syracuse</a> University](<a href=“http://syr.edu/]Syracuse”>http://syr.edu/)</p>

11

<p>Bucknell, Holy Cross, Richmond.</p>

12

<p>

</p>

<p>Except, Syracuse has an average SAT of 1700. Their Communication college might have a little higher average. </p>

<p>Northeastern also matches that description.</p>

13

<p>George Mason, Notre Dame and Saint Louis University.</p>

14

<p>University of Tulsa seems to fit all of your criteria. It’s one of the smallest schools to offer DI sports, tuition costs $33,000 a year, has a high percent of internationals, and is located in Oklahoma’s second largest city (not that that’s saying much).</p>

15

<p>Not Notre Dame, students there are 3.75+ with high test scores. </p>

<p>Maybe American and George Washington in D.C.? I am not specifically familiar with their stats, but generally understand going to be lower than the tippy top schools. </p>

<p>Loyola Chicago perhaps?</p>

16

<p>XtremePower-Northeastern’s tuition is around 41,000 for the 2013-2014 school year. But they do give out merit aid to the top 25% of applicants ranging from 5k-20k most of the time and then there are a few that get full tuition and complete full rides</p>

17

<p>Richmond and Holy Cross are about 56,000 or more a year.</p>

18

<p>University of Pittsburgh would fit many of your criteria. Pitt also guarantees internship for every student who wants them. In fact they have a program called “First Experience in Research” that allows freshmen students to work with faculty for 5-10 hr/week doing research during the spring semester. Some of these students are awarded summer fellowships to continue their projects. Pitt is also known to offer generous merit scholarships especially for out of state students.</p>

<p>When you say tuition of $40k…do you mean total cost? Tuition, room, board, books, fees, travel, etc?</p>

<p>How much for total cost?</p>
