Advice in my college choice?

<p>hhaha I saw someone with this type of heading and they got posts, i need some too.</p>

<p>I have a problem. Right now I take classes at my local community college and I'm pretty sure I just failed Pre-Calc. Up until now I've had a 3.8 gpa but this quarter just did not work in my favor. I basically want to change my college list to something more realistic now that there's an F (or D) in my transcript. I'm finally realizing now that colleges isn't just test scores but the environment. Let me explain what I'd like in a college and maybe someone could match one for me. I want diversity, not too much just enough so I can make one or two good friends (I am African-American). But I don't want to go to an HBCU they are annoying. I want a college where the area surrounding it is not dead but lively, and I definitely want safety/security. I want a place with a rich history because even though I plan on majoring in science, museums and stories of great people form the past inspire me, and I can tell I'm going to need A LOT of inspiration during college. I want a place with a good sports team, or just something fun to watch. I love seeing all of the fans during basketball/football games have team spirit, that looks so fun to me! I'm also a big band geek I love marching bands (but not a big requirement). Location/money and all of that I'm not in the mood to talk about or post. I'm just trying to find a dream school right now. Nothing too official. Thanks! =D</p>
