I’m looking for a college with the following characteristics.?
May 17, 2010 by
Filed under business group activities
Near large city
Small campus feel, but could be large campus
Many scholarships available
Many extracurricular activities- music, writing, political groups
Not centered around sports
Great academic departments
Offering majors in economics, international business, political science, government, or chemistry
Good foreign language dept.
Study abroad opportunities
All suggestions are appreciated. If you could give reasons why you suggested the school, that’d be great.
In case this is helpful:
unweighted 4.0; weighted is about a 4.3 GPA
ACT 28- taken as a freshman
Haven’t taken SAT yet
Lots of extracurriculars and volunteering plus I have a job
St. John Fisher College and Roberts Wesleyan College near Rochester, NY.
Rochester is a good city, check it out!
I’m basically a breathing advertisement for the school, but Washington U. in St. Louis is a great school- it definitely fits all of the requirements (although I’m not sure how good their foreign language department is, but its by no means ‘bad’)
The school is near the city of St. Louis, but actually isn’t in it- its in a wealthy suburb. The campus isn’t huge but its not small, but its gorgeous. Presuming you’re a candidate that they want, I hear they Fin Aid office is fantastic (and the scholarship programs are pretty good too.)
The school definitely isn’t centered around sports, its much more academic. The teams are all D3 (mens basketball was the 2008 D3 champions) but the school by no means is sports crazy.
I don’t know how accessible studying abroad is but there definitely are options (within the country and throughout the world)
Hope this helps =)
University of Rochester!!!!!!!!! Great school.
Vanderbilt is a great school overall. You should check it out. I went to a school near Vandy, but was always at Vandy.
Here are my reasons:
Great Location in the city of Nashville
Great Business programs
Diverse
Safe
Lots of extracurricular activities
You know what, check out College Prowler, it gives great insight on campuses all across the country.
