<p>Because of your interest getting involved with politics, it may make more sense to lean toward urban areas with easier opportunities to get involved in more high profile political machinery or campaigns while taking classes.</p>
<p>For instance, here’s [a</a> list of possible Political Science internships](<a href=“http://www.pitt.edu/~politics/internships.html]a”>http://www.pitt.edu/~politics/internships.html) at Pitt. Pitt also has a highly respected graduate school of [Public</a> Affairs](<a href=“http://www.gspia.pitt.edu/]Public”>http://www.gspia.pitt.edu/) with several top programs and centers that an undergrad may be able to get involved with somehow, i.e. undergrad research.</p>
