UGA and UF are both great public schools. Ole Miss not so much, but everything else about the school makes up for it. Vandy, UGA and UF are all significantly better schools (academically) than anything else in the SEC.

Try BYU. Or Bob Jones University. Definitely.

Quad C! {Collin County Community College}

Well, of course Kentucky immediately comes to mind. Close to a number of larger cities but as far as I'm concerned it's perfect.

If you want a bigger town and better academics, then Vanderbilt.

Other than that, you can do what my son has been doing for months which is research and visit schools. The normal college search stuff. Oh, and keep your grades and extra-curriculars up through your junior and senior years, and take your AP exams.

"Cool town" and "nice campus" are awfully subjective. It depends what you're looking for (and what region of the country you'd like to attend school). Did you search on collegeboard.com or princetonreview.com?

[rufio]

advice: stay away from AZ.

[Psi U MC Vito]

yeah but seriously, academics should be your first and foremost concern.

Roanoke College is great. I visited Roanoke for a friend's son's wedding and was very impressed with the town, the airport, the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains, and the college. Also saw Washington and Lee and liked that too. Check it out. My friend's daughter as well as the son whose wedding I attended graduated Roanoke and it wasn't too hard academically; just right.

Florida State University deffinetly meets all of the above!!

Really nice campus, cool town with lots to do, big greek life, pretty girls, and good academics.

Hook it up haha

LOL, first thing to do is look at yourself and what you want?

If you think you are going onto any campus and Be A BMOC, your self importance may be in a ditch.

Do you want to go to a school and learn first?

I am un impresed.

Have a swell time before you are gone after the first semester.

You ain't going to make it.

You should consider the schools in Kansas. After all, they let Tom pledge AND graduate! I think that would be perfect for ya!

Here are some things you might want to consider while researching.
-Academics
-Freshmen Retention %
-Job Placement % out of college
-Internship Programs
-Class Size
-How many T.A.'s teach classes instead of professors

I went in as a naive freshman knowing what I wanted to major in.

I ended up changing my major 3 times.

I don't even know why I'm replying to this thread.

I am shocked that it received any serious responses. :shrugging shoulders:
