<p>ya denver has always interested me… </p>

<p>Good size pretty campus and an awesome town.
I just don’t don’t know if I could handle not being near the beach!</p>

<p>so basically what’s the west coast version of a denver or even a less conservative smu?</p>

<p>You might want to take a look at University of Redlands, its a pretty small private school and its pretty close to the ocean/ beach. My friend just started there and he loves it. [University</a> of Redlands](<a href=“http://www.redlands.edu/]University”>http://www.redlands.edu/)</p>

<p>cwaili – Last I checked U of Redlands was about an HOUR from the beach… at least it looks like that on a map. I don’t actually know anyone that lives that far east… it’s practically a fourth of the way to Vegas!</p>

<p>edit… I just checked on Yahoo maps. It says Redlands is 1 hour, 17 minutes from what looks like the closest surf spot, Huntington Beach… with no traffic!</p>

<p>UNC-Wilmington is at the beach, warm weather for a long surfing season ,more girls than guys and just an overall fun college town. All the kids I know who go to UNCW love it there.</p>

25

<p>Thanks for all the great suggestions…</p>

<p>I’m finally content with probably attending a school that isn’t prestigious! I’m just looking for something that will make me really happy at this point! </p>

<p>All recommendations are encouraged!!</p>

<p>College of Charleston is a public university, not private. It’s about 30 minutes from a “surfing beach,” though just a few blocks from the intercoastal waterway. C of C is right in downtown Charleston and can be a terrific “party town,” if that’s your scene. It’s highly respected in our area of the world, too.</p>

27

<p>College of Charleston is public but only like 10,000 right??</p>

28

<p>How about Coastal Carolina? A short drive to Myrtle Beach…no lax but they do have a surf club</p>

29

<p>here’s kinda the list I’m working with right now</p>

Loyola Marymount
College of Charleston
University of Denver

33

<p>There is no such thing as a “preppy surfer”. If you call yourself that, you’re pretending to be a surfer. Just because it’s near a beach doesn’t mean there are waves either. Doesn’t matter though, you probably just want to go look cool in front of all the ladies, huh? </p>

<p>KOOK.</p>

34

<p>Truthhhhhhhhhhhhhh</p>

35

<p>look at Monmouth in New Jersey. It’s right on the beach and very easy to get in to.</p>

<p>If you want information on University of Denver, my son is a sophomore there and really loves it. Very strong academics and a very good campus life too. He loves having both a strong campus culture with the advantages of being in a vibrant city.</p>

36

<p>I just say preppy because I want frats…</p>

37

<p>That has nothing to do with being ‘preppy’…</p>

38

<p>psht ok then fratty…</p>

<p>No waves in Florida…however Florida Gulf Coast University has its dorms right on the beach.</p>
