College hunt

Colleges & Universities A-Z Dartmouth College
1

<p>Hey everyone! I posted a thread previously about trying to find a college and was asked to expand on it.</p>

<p>I'm looking for a college really anywhere in the US...preferably one by some sort of metropolitan area with shopping, food, etc. A small city or suburb would be my second choice.</p>

<p>A college with a travel abroad program would be a major plus.</p>

<p>I like learning in small environments with as much individualized attention as possible. Any range from 1000 to 10000 undergrads is my target number. I'm looking for a college that works hard and plays hard. I understand the importance of education, but I want to equally enjoy the fun experiences college has to offer. </p>

<p>Career ideas: journalism, humanities, sociology, marketing, film </p>

<p>Did you mean to post this expanded post on the Dartmouth Board or on the College Search and Selection Board? I suspect maybe the latter. Anyway, I see you are familiar with Dartmouth as, from an earlier post, you state your sister attends and loves Dartmouth - so its clear you are familiar with how Dartmouth does and does not meet your preference list. Northwestern seems a school that satisfies the geographic preference, size preference and offers excellent programs in you potential career choices. You will need strong ACTs/SATs - good luck in June - study well. : )</p>

<p>Washington University in St. Louis would be another alternative for you, but again quite competitive.</p>
