General discussion.
Where are you visiting or planning to visit? Where have you visited?

This summer, I'm going to go check out Dartmouth, Northwestern, and Rochester. UChicago was on my list until I started looking at Northwestern. I'll be checking out the Boston Conservatory just because I'll be in MA with my older brother, and I'll be going to Johns Hopkins to see one of my friends off </3

I've checked out UPenn, Princeton, Columbia/Barnard, Yale, Amherst, Mt. Holyoke, Smith, Hampshire, and UMass (and probably more that I just don't remember). SMU and UTD just because they're right around where I live, too :P

Any other colleges I should check out? I'm really not interested in Brown.

I'm planning to visit Columbia, NYU, and a few CUNYs. I don't really want to look at SUNYs since I'm not interested in them. I want to visit Boston U, UPenn, and Drexel if I can.

I've visited nearly all the UC's that are around my area. I've gone to UCR, UCSD, UCSB, UCI, UCLA, and USC's campus'. I've also visited CSUSB, CSUF, CSUPP, CSULB, and SDSU campus. Not to mention several different community colleges around my areas. I wanted to have a broad decision between what campus I should attend, so I went to as many as I could. :) Oh, and I've also visited Pepperdine, even if I wasn't really interested in attending there.

Its actually not a bad school. My brother's friend went there and he said he absolutely loved it.

I visited University of Iowa, Drake University, and Montana State. I didn't feel the need to tour University of Wisconsin - Madison, seeing as I've been there a bagillion times and leave near.

Aha and I didn't say but I was just at Northwestern from Thursday-Sunday for my Model U.N. conference. The campus is GORGEOUS and all the staff I met were extremely nice and helpful. The one thing that sucks is that theres one starbucks in the Norris building. There are tons of places to eat around the campus and so many cute little shops. _smile.gif

LOL. you serious? too bad that's all stereotyping. out of the whole city of davis, only 1 part of it smells. and that's like 2% of the whole 100% only i swear lol. you dont think i thoguht it smelled too? boy was i wrong. and most people who attend davis will tell you that. it isn't even as bad as people make it look.

It scares me when people like you get rejected into colleges that I want (or wanted) to go to. X_X

I was checking out Princeton Review's Top 366 Colleges book and apparently Dartmouth parties a decent bit... hm. I doubt I'd get sucked into partying anyway.

Northwestern seems so nice....... eeehhh, I'm excited for the summer :)

I can hardly consider going to a college in CA. It's just so far away from the northeast, and that means I'd probably see my brother like once a year, if even that. My brother's best friend's at Northwestern and they see each other every other month. I don't mind being a couple states away from my brother or friends, but to be on opposite sides of the nation? :Z

I love the northeast anyway, even though I don't like the cold. Plus, my cello teacher says you'd get a whole lot more gigs there for cheaper transportation-wise since there's so many people in one area.

I live near CSUSB :D Four of my cousins go to it, as well. :D I'm going to my cousin's PCN there this Saturday. ^^

Ooh, Tung. I had plans of going to UC Davis in my junior year in highschool. But the drive up there was far too long, so I never actually visited the campus/got to know it enough for me to be remotely interested. =x A few of my friends in San Diego go there though. ^^

I recently visited The College of William & Mary. It's a beautiful campus, and the visit was pretty cool. I'm going to be a grad student there in the fall, so I got shown around by other grad students and really only got to examine the computer center, but overall it was a pretty cool place with a nice atmosphere.

Aren't you 18? Shouldn't you already be in or deciding on college?


In high school I visited:
University of Georgia
Georgia Tech
Oxford College of Emory
Elon University
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
...and I think that's it. I did a really poor job of touring schools.

People like me?...

I got rejected all over the place. I got into 3/4 of my safeties and that's it. College were brutal this year.
