College Suggestions?

College Search & Selection

<p>I am a freshman at a small Baptist college in Northeast Arkansas and I am planning on transferring to a new school for the Fall '09 semester. I would really like to get out of the south and head up north, preferably New England but the Mid-Atlantic region sounds nice as well.</p>

<p>A few things I'm looking for:
1. Smaller school (>5,000 students)
2. Located in the Northeast
3. Strong social sciences departments (Econ., Political Science)
4. Live social scene (Greek life/parties)</p>

<p>In high school, I was not a very good student. I simply got by and didn't really care about school. I finished with a 3.4 and a 29 on my ACT.</p>

<p>In college, however, I have applied myself so far and there is a good chance that I will finish this semester with a 4.0. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance for your help.</p>

<p>Some other things I desire that I left out:</p>

<p>Strong athletic presence on campus
I don't want a college in a huge city. Looking more for a "bubble" like atmosphere.</p>
