Picking a University Options

[loveneko]

I would like to go to a popular university. I'd like to go to a private university too but that's not my main objective.
I want to major in Nursing, so that I can get my pre-med requirements down (its a back up major in case I don't get accepted to med-school) If i don't get accepted to med school then I'll continue to get my Masters and then go into maternal health, since I was planning on becoming an Ob/Gyn anyhow. These are my schools, every couple of weeks I change my mind about them because admissions is coming up and i want to make sure i have the right one. Im any case I'm rattling, here they are.

Clemson University
The College of New Rochelle
Emory University
Howard University
North Carolina State University
Penn State
Towson University
University of Florida
University of Maryland College Park

Not all of them are as popular. I chose my schools because of their attractiveness, ranking, location, and financial aid.
I'm drawn to school spirit, school recognition, campus attractiveness, and honor societies.
Anyone have any opinions on what the best school is, just according to your own opinion because I wouldn't mind going to any of these schools.

You probably don't want to go to NC State. It's most usually viewed as a back up school for those who don't get into UNC Chapel Hill.

haha I agree with this. Don't go to NC state, I mean I suppose its an alright school but if your going in the medical field go to UNC if you really want to come to North Carolina. I honestly hope your not going to pick your school based on the weather conditions.

I really am. I hate the cold and there are plenty of good schools that aren't in colder regions that I can go to. Just like I can discriminate against whether they have a football field, if their food is good or not, if their classes are small, if they have trees, how much glass etc; I'm choosing based on weather and it's a damn good reason too because I DO NOT plan on spending the next 4 years of my life in the cold. For med school I'll come back up here but that's it.
