Ok so I have been accepted into every university, but I have absolutly no idea where to go. I want to be in Philadelphia, I love the city everything about it. I am Looking to enter law school so i want a program that can prepare me for that. I also really want to go to a catholic affiliated university.
My dream school has always been Penn and regardless I will most likely go there for grad school... the is purely for under grad. Here are my choices: St. Joseph's University Pros: Nice campus, small student body, good repuataion, catholic, jesuit Cons: Older facilities, doesn't have a great pre-law program, not very social La Salle University Pros: Nice campus, good pre- law program, full academic/athletic scholarship, well respected, catholic, amazing parties, I love the atmosphere and student body as of now my #2 choice Cons: Bad area of Philly, not as hard to get into as Nova and Penn. Villanova University: Pros: Awesome reputation, good athletics, beautiful campus, excellent pre-law program, catholic, averagely social Cons: too far from the city and too close to home (main line), extremely expensive, the majority of the student body is snobby, The University of Pennsylvania: Pros: Ivy League, extremely social, excellent academics and athletics, globally recognized, amazing campus, center city, amazing parties, 6th best school in the country, dream school Cons: Little to no money coming my way, huge student body, not catholic affiliated, heavy course load opinions/ advice needed I want to commit by Christmas |

^ I see where you're coming from, but a lot of people here either have been to college or are in college. Someone who comes around here might even go to one of those schools or had thought about one of those schools... so I think it's a valid place to ask for opinions. So Mike's kind of doing some of the same things you're saying he should be doing.
As far as helping out... I have no advice ![]() |

Like if i came here and asked "which of these three colleges should i go to" i guarantee that if you're not from Michigan then you wouldnt know, unless i said like Michigan or Michigan State. |
