<p>I have gotten accepted to millersville, Widener and pennstate brandywine. I want to major in either physics or geology (not 100% set on these majors). What college do you think is the best? Right now my top choice is millersville but I do not know what people think of this school on a grad school or employer basis. I also do not know the type of education but I am pretty sure it is good. I do not really want to go to penn state brandywine (rejected from main campus) because many people say it is just like High School. What are your thoughts?</p>
<p>First off, congratulations! I got accepted to Widener too. I'm not feeling it though so I x'd it off the list. The rules are to constricting. Pennstate is a fun school though.</p>
<p>Yea, I did not like Widener either, just not that appealing to the eye, not for 40,000 a year. Yea PennState main is fun, just dont know about brandywine.</p>
<p>Def. Not worth 40 grand</p>
<p>what are the "rule that are too constricting"</p>
<p>I find them to constricting.</p>
<p>what kind of rules do they have?</p>
<p>Nothing more then the typical college, but from what I recall you can't have opposite genders sleeping in your room.</p>
<p>I am not in the physics or geology fields but I am involved in the sciences in a professional capacity. I haven't heard of any of these schools, but I can tell you that it is what you do in college that will reflect well in the minds of employers and graduate admission committees. Get involved in research early on. The sooner the better. Lab jobs are around and can lead you into gaining real world experience (which you will be thankful for when it is time to interview for jobs or submit apps for grad school). Also, research can lead you down a track that will open up possibilities for awards and grants. Look into NSF, DOD and other grants early on. You may find that these aren't all that competitive for undergrads.</p>
<p>I dont know of many schools that allow opposite genders sleeping in your dorm rooms without breaking the rules. Mixed gender dorms are usually separated by floors and the rules are supposed to be followed and enforced by RA's.</p>
<p>You are going to college (and your parents are paying for) an education. Not sex-ed, but something a little more substantive than that.</p>
<p>Trust me, you want a school with orderly dorms and less of a party atmosphere. Because when your grades come out and you "connect the dots" between a noisy, discombabulated and wild dorm, you may wish you had chosen a different school.</p>
<p>College is too important and too expensive to turn it into animal house. I am not making moral judgements here, because 18-22 year old kids will make decisions regardless...and either they are moral or they are not. </p>
<p>And there is nothing worse than having a paper due, or a midterm exam or final exam the next morning and you are "sexiled" out of your room because your roomate has a "sleepover and/or hangover."</p>
<p>Good luck, wherever you go.</p>
<p>Hmmm...I don't know of any colleges other than religious schools such as Grove City that DO have rules about who can sleep where. Those rules were gone at most schools by the time <em>I</em> entered college in the early 70s.</p>
<p>That said, it is a royal pain when people can't freely access their own room half the time because someone's significant other has more or less moved in. Mutual consideration is key.</p>
