I was thinking of going to Quinnipiac, but i heard their Greek life wasn't all that great. i want to go to a college where greek life isn't shunned upon, and i heard that Quinnipiac isn't really involved with Greek Life, just sports. And my parents are only allowing me a five hour radius from my house, (stupid, i know) and i live in NY.

So, is there any suggestions that you have for me?

Also, is it beneficial to live in a sorority house?

sorry there's so many questions! i apprieciate any feedback i get!
Depending on where you are in NY, five hours driving time gives you a lot of choice -- probably most of New England, including Boston, and as far south as Maryland or northern Virginia.

Before you start thinking about Greek life, you'll want to narrow your list by looking at other factors. First, think about the size of the school that you want to attend, and whether you want to be in an urban, suburban or rural setting. Consider the costs of private vs. public schools. Finding a good fit in terms of your grades and overall achievement level is very important (your school counselor can be very helpful in making this determination.) You will also want to find a school that has your proposed major.

After you have considered all that, then you'll want to look at the overall atmosphere, including social life and greek life of the remaining schools on your list. You should ideally have a list of at least five schools that you can visit (either with a parent, or on your own,) by this summer or next fall at the latest. Once you are at this stage, people here can advise you about the greek life at those particular schools.

Good luck to you.
