<p>I did, and then I transferred out after a semester.</p>
<p>I think it may help if you visited a smaller university. I know a student who thought Northwestern was her dream school, but ended up transfering to DePauw after one semester. Butler University is smaller, has a beautiful campus and is known for business. University of Dayton is a school my daughter fell in love with. It fits your description, plus it recently made a list of “happiest students”. The kids I know there absolutely love it. I second the idea of checking out Miami of Ohio. It’s within your parameters, but it’s different from the other schools you’ve looked at, as it’s located in a rural environment. You may just like that!</p>
<p>thanks for all the suggestions…my cousin happens to go to miami of ohio and loves it so I think I will visit it this summer. I saw it a couple of years ago but don’t really remember it well.</p>
