<p>I am just wondering if there are any colleges that I missed that are offered on the west coast and are near a city or a busy place because I want to have a good academic education but I want to go out on the town and have fun at clubs and restaurants, and I want to meet a lot of new people all of the time, so I'm guessing a city setting is where I would be most interested. Thanks for the help.</p>

2

<p>and I plan to visit my like top 3 college choices of the ones that accept me at the end of March for spring break.</p>

3

<p>Apply to Lewis and Clark- I think the deadline's Jan. 15th.</p>

4

<p>Apply to University of Oregon; the deadline is January 15th.</p>

5

<p>bump, ne more input?</p>

6

<p>You've missed two excellent zoology programs: U of Wyoming and Humboldt State (Calif).</p>

7

<p>Is HUmboldt still accepting apps?
Is it near a city?
I WAS considering Humboldt during my initial research of the colleges I was going to apply to, but I guess it just fell through the cracks. I might consider it again if it is near a city or if it is really lively.</p>

8

<p>University of Oregon doesn't offer zoology, and I dont' even think it offers an emphasis on anything animal related besides marine biology.</p>

9

<p>Humboldt is in a secluded place, nevermind.</p>

<p>Lewis and Clark, they offer a biology degree but there aren't many Biology courses, and the Zoology courses are for the lower division. Would it be possible to major in Biology and concentrate on zoology?</p>
