<p>I've been accepted to the following schools:
Colby, U. Richmond, Gettysburg, Franklin and Marshall, Lehigh, and UVM.<br>
I'm not sure what I want to major in, perhaps English or Psychology? If anyone has anything good or bad to comment, I'd really appreciate it!</p>
<p>I like em all! Congrats! Colby and UVM are pretty remote unless you live in No. New England. Is that OK? I've spent a lot of time in Gettysburg - great small town, close to Washington and Baltimore - great campus with the biggest intramural scene in the country. Richmond is a great school that's a little under the radar for as outstanding as it is. Gee - other than for a geographic preference, I'd visit them and go with a gut reaction to the one that feels best.</p>
<p>UVM isn't actually that remote. Burlington is a great small city, with tons to do and several different colleges in the area provide a lot of entertainment/food/party/people/shopping options. There is an international airport, a mall, and a booming downtown industry.</p>
<p>I do actually live in Northern New Nngland... so U. Richmond is actually the longest drive for me. Colby and UVM are about the same. I'm mainly trying to figure out whether or not 1800 people is too small. I go to a small-ish high school (500 kids) and would prefer not to exhaust my social options in a month or two... Any feelings on that?</p>
<p>Look at Hanna's post at the bottom of page 1 of the "Liberal Arts College vs. University" thread (College Search & Selection). Her excellent analogy might give you a good handle on the size issue.</p>
<p>These are all good schools.Coming from your high school I think you'll find any of these schools large enough.</p>
<p>My two favorites for English and/or Psychology would be Colby or Gettysburg and I'd pick Colby. Colby is rated a little higher academically; Gettysburg 1/3 larger. No frats and sororities at Colby; over half the eligible students at Gettysburg go greek. Outdoorsy types seem attracted to Colby as there are a lot of recreational activities.</p>
<p>If you think medical school or law school are in your future throw F&M into the mix. School is very focused on getting grads into professional schools; also appears to go out of its way to meet the needs and interests of its students.</p>
