[splendid]

alright, so my parents want me to start looking at colleges very briefly - as in just get an idea of what i might be interested in and such.
well, i want to be an orthodontist - and thats a definite. so starting with this, i came across 3 schools
1. Boston University - Boston, MA - $38,440
2. Tufts University - Medford, MA - $40,342
3. Marquette University - Milwaukee, Wisconsin - $29,096

- i really want to stay near home (i live in MA)
- i want to participate in the accelerated dental program (provided at all three) / i want a good chance at dental school
- i want to live in the city
- i want to save as much money as possible!
- i want a nice, clean, close campus
- i want a good experiance

any other college suggestions would be great!
what do you think? what do you know about each?

I've been there, but not as a student. It's a private school that is smaller than you might expect (about 9,000 students) so you'll really get to know people. It's a really nice campus that is quaint, but in the city. They have a really good nursing and law program... and will help you get financial aid. Only thing that sucks is that you'll be far from home and have to deal with really shitty winter weather.
