<p>It goes from super urban (NYU) to suburban (BC) to college town (Amherst) to middle of nowhere (Dartmouth); from liberal (NYU) to conservative (Bucknell); from huge (NYU) to quite small (Amherst). Pretty much any extremes you can think of. If this is your college application list, I have to ask what you think you want in a college, if you have any idea?! If it’s not your list, how did you come up with it?</p>
<p>its not a legit college list, its just a few universities that i have learned a lot about and have some interest in. I don’t know exactly what i want, rural, urban, suburban, college town, conservative, liberal, huge, small. I am just experimenting and trying to gain more knowledge on the ones i listed so i can make a strong list next year. I also want to cut it down and start visiting so i can further figure out my interests. All i wanted in here were opinions. Lol thanks</p>

<p>Interesting article coming up this week in Smart Money entitled “Why the Ivies Aren’t Worth It”. They rank Bucknell # 5 best long-term value among all liberal arts schools based on return on tuition, or the cost of tuition compared with earnings potential after graduation. Amherst is high also. Lehigh is not as good.</p>
<p>Hamilton because it’s a writers’ college</p>
<p>Dartmouth College
Amherst College
Univ. of Pennsylvania
Boston College</p>
<p>Notre Dame
Cornell University</p>
<p>Bucknell University
WashUStL
NYU
Hamilton College
Univ. of Richmond
Any Community College
Villanova University
Lehigh University</p>
<p>Penn would be an easy choice for me out of that list – strong academics and a great extracurricular life, in the heart of a big city.</p>
<p>Dartmouth, Amherst, Cornell, Bucknell. </p>
<p>I don’t like the idea of a city for college life. You have the rest of your life to live in a city, but except for possible grad school,no time in the rest of your life to be surrounded in a community of your peers.</p>
<p>coldwind: how did u group those?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
