Girlie AGDee's College Search Thread

My co-worker and her daughter are looking at schools and your situations sound similar, except she is planning on majoring in psychology with a minor in communications. She wants a location either in the city or close to the city, diverse population, solid study abroad opportunities, and well enough known to help her get into grad school.

So far, in their trips, they have really liked Fordham, American, George Washington, Villanova, Saint Joseph's, and Northeastern.

A few schools that she thought she would like and didn't: Hopkins, Univ. Maryland, Penn State, Univ. Delaware, Syracuse, Cornell and Drexel.

What? How could you not LOVE Penn State or Syracuse? Obviously a little bias...

Her reason for not being in love with Penn State was because it was "too big". She had grown up going to very small parochial schools and a small catholic high school. Although she did say that she loved the sports aspect, THON, and alumni involvement.
