Advice on schools/Environmental Science major

College Search & Selection

<p>Hey everyone, I am senior in high school intending to major in Environmental Science. So far I have gotten into:</p>

<p>Saint Anselm
Northeastern
Bentley
Uconn
Umass Amherst
UNH</p>

<p>I have also been deferred from UVM (applied to the Rubenstein school of natural resources), and am waiting on Stonehill and Colgate. Any advice on the strength of each school's environmental science programs and/or the general experience at the schools? I've heard Umass, UVM, and UNH have very good environmental programs, but am not sure about the others. Bentley is business-oriented but does have a liberal arts major in environmental sustainability, but i don't think i want to go to school that is so focused on business. My top three schools right now are UVM, Northeastern, and Colgate (leaning towards UVM). If you have attended/are attending any of these schools please tell me about your experience (educational and social). Thank you</p>

<p>UMass, UConn, and UNH are arguably the strongest for environmental science. A plus for UMass is the 5 college consortium, and UNH has an extremely strong zoology program if you're more interested in the organismal side of things.</p>

<p>Well Stonehill's in the middle of building a new science center that's supposed to be really nice, opening in the fall...depends on whether you want a small school like Stonehill or a big school like some of the other ones you have listed, though. UVM is supposed to good for environmental stuff, I think, and Burlington is a great location.</p>
