<p>Take a look at Occidental and Chapman (claims it’s not really religious anymore btw). And I agree with many others about USC being a good option. The Claremonts are far from the coast, but look into them and one of them may interest you. </p>
<p>@sunnysocalmom thank you! And congratulations to your friend, that’s amazing! Redlands is definitely interesting. Hopefully I will find a few colleges that meet my needs (and wants) and will be able to visit soon.
@jkeil911 yeah, I definitely have other options in mind it would just be nice to go to school in an area not too far from home since many of the other schools I’m interested in are on the east coast.
@mamabear16 Thanks for the advice!</p>
