<p>I would like to attend a small to medium sized college. My unweighted gpa is around a 3.4 and weighted will be around a 3.8. My sat was 1170(610 math and 560 reading) and act was 25. I would like to travel abroad during college and would like to major in either international business, international relations, or something along that route because I want to become a diplomat. As far as where I would like to go to college I'm interested in somewhere with a fair climate, not too cold in the winter.</p>
<p>Take a look at Lauren Pope’s book, Colleges that Change Lives. You can pick it up at most public libraries, or order it used on-line for a few dollars. There are lots of schools in there that would meet your criteria.</p>
<p>thankyou, i visited the website and saw a couple im going to look more into, but I’d like to hear about some schools that people enjoyed going to also.</p>
<p>A friend’s S is happily attending University of San Diego (private, Catholic) and was pleased to tout the fact that the new business dean is someone who was lured away from Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business. USD does offer an UG international business degree. Great weather in winter, obviously.</p>
<p>Further up the coast, Loyola Marymount U in Los Angeles also offers an international business degree. </p>
<p>And University of the Pacific in Northern CA (mild winters) offers both UG International business and also International Studies. There’s an International Affairs and Commerce Major. Study abroad is not only encouraged, but actually required of international studies majors. U of P also has an interesting “experiential learning” component, emphasizing internships and coops and work in the real world.</p>
<p>Good luck in your search.</p>
<p>University of Puget Sound!</p>
<p>Elon University has a great study abroad program and is in North Carolina. It sounds like a great fit for you.</p>
<p>Earlham, Kalamazoo, Albion.</p>
<p>U South Carolina, Wooster, Ohio Wesleyan, Michigan State, Indiana U</p>
<p>DS and I were surprised to be impressed with Evansville. Small college, decent climate, good international options. We found the admissions office, financial aid, professors - well, EVERYONE we met to be above average compared to many of our other visits. Worth a look.</p>
<p>Sewanee, The University of the South</p>
<p>Rhodes - strong international studies department. At least a couple of folks from my class are now working in the foreign service of the U.S. State Department. And we’re located in Memphis, TN, where it definitely doesn’t get too cold in the winter.</p>
<p>Check out Goucher and Wittenberg. you might qualify for merit money at Wittenberg</p>
<p>Goucher might be a very good choice. It fits all your criteria–small college, match for B+ student, international/study abroad emphasis, and relatively mild climate.</p>
