College suggestions - help!

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm looking for a pretty good liberal arts college, preferably along the east coast, but am looking for suggestions. Please note, I DO NOT WANT AN IVY LEAGUE. I'm not trying to get into any schools like Yale, Brown, MIT, NYU, so please don't tell me my scores aren't good enough for there, because I know that.</p>

<p>I have roughly a 3.7 GPA and expect it to get higher in the next year. My SAT scores are:
CR = 650
M = 570
2 part=1220
W = 650
3 part = 1870</p>

<p><strong>Please keep in mind, I am listing attributes of my IDEAL college, so your suggestions obviously don't have to have each of the following.</strong></p>

<p>I want a school with a lot of programs so I can dabble and find my true interests. I also would love a school in a great college town with a lot of spirit - a football team is a major plus! I, of course, would love nice dorms :) I'm not into drugs or anything, so I don't want a school with TOO many drugs, but I'm pretty tolerant about that so don't rule any school out because of it.</p>

<p>I know I didn't list any specific majors, but that is because I'm really not sure. Although, it would definitely NOT be anything to do with math, science, law, nursing, etc. I am definitely more into communications, social sciences, arts, music, etc. I would love a school with acapella groups!! Finances are somewhat of an issue, so schools where I could receive generous aid would be nice, too! I don't want to be in a big city and I'd prefer a medium sized school. Finally, study abroad is very important to me, and I'd love a school with a fair amount of international students.</p>

<p>Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much.</p>

<p>Mount Union in Ohio - a small LAC with a variety of majors, a nice music performance program, so probably plenty of singers and small groups.
AMAZING football, tailgating, and school spirit - the likes of which is seldom found in a small school, but they are often in the national DIII football finals.
I think you’d get an automatic merit scholarship, too.</p>

<p>LACs won’t have big time football. Here are the Div III results from last year. <a href=“http://www.d3football.com/top25/2009/week-16[/url]”>http://www.d3football.com/top25/2009/week-16&lt;/a&gt; You could probably get some merit $ at some in the midwest - Wittenberg, Ohio Northern, Coe.</p>
