I know, I know; It’s yet another one of those “vs” posts that reduces the college search process to a cold-cut comparison between indescribably unique schools. It’s just that I’ve been doing a ton of research by myself and would love to be refreshed by an alternate perspective!
What I want in a college:
Academic interests: Government/political science, Writing (particularly creative writing), Sociology, and anything involving human rights.
Social: I’d love to become a part of politically active groups focused on pursuing liberal causes like civil and minority rights. I would also be interested in literary and political publications. Also, I want a campus with a solid and vibrant queer presence because I’m straight as a rainbow.
Student Body: I want a student body that, quite simply, cares a lot. I want to be surrounded by passionate minds in an inspiring environment. I want a lot of different perspectives and experiences to learn from.
I would appreciate any insight that anyone can give, particularly from past or current students. Thank you so very much in advance.
