Thanks for the advice. I apologize for being a bit vague about my info, I didn’t think it’d matter that much, as in this thread I’m mainly just trying to get a general idea of what kind of colleges it would make sense for someone like me to apply for. For the record, I currently live in Miami, FL (which is partly why I’m taking so many maritime-related classes).
Truthfully, I’m not really aiming to get into any top-tier super prestigious schools like Harvard or anything like that. In fact, I think I’d rather stay local; UM (University of Miami) is one of the main colleges on my radar right now, mainly because it’s apparently pretty good, and its extremely close to where I live so I wouldn’t have to pay for a dorm.
Anyway, campus size honestly doesn’t matter much to me as long as it doesn’t feel too cramped. I think I’d prefer a more urban environment simply because that’s what I’m used to and what I grew up with (Although I don’t mind stepping out of my comfort zone if it’s necessary). But that’s all just speculation right now, I do plan to visit some colleges at some point in the future to confirm these preferences.
