<p>I've been looking up various colleges for quite sometime but I can't seem to find many that I can actually picture myself enjoying. I'm hoping some of you can maybe make suggestions with some of the following I'm looking for? I'm planning on doing an education and psychology major, so the school must have those available as well as allow double majors. I'm a pretty good student - I get mostly A's and a few B's in advanced classes, so I'm looking for a good school academically. I do have to work hard for these good grades though, so I don't want a school that's too challenging for me. I'm more than willing to put time and effort into my schoolwork, but I don't want to have to give up my social life, extra-curricular activities, and relaxation time just so I can get a B in college. So I want a school that's good, but not too challenging.
I'm also not looking for a "party school." But I'm not looking for a strict religious school that has no fun either. I'm looking for a happy medium. I'd like a school that's small/medium in size, nothing too big. I don't mind which state it's in, and, as of right now, cost isn't a factor (I'll look more into cost closer to application time)
As of right now here are the only colleges I've found similar to my tastes: Brandeis University, University of Rochester, Quinnipiac University (maybe), and Rice University (although Rice is probably out because it has an odd education program). I'm hoping to find at least 7 schools that I really can see myself going to. If you know anything similar please let me know! Thanks.</p>
<p>Have you looked at Vanderbilt? It’s a medium school with around 13k students (undergrad + grad) and a great education program.</p>
<p>Vanderbilt might be a little too much of a party school.</p>
<p>Baylor(TX) or Wake Forest might be good to look at</p>
<p>Lewis and Clark</p>

I highly recommend you start looking into cost now. It doesn’t make sense to fall in love with a set of colleges if you can’t afford them at all. What are your stats and what’s your home state? Your college list right now has a very broad range.</p>
<p>SUNY New Paltz, Marist & Siena College have education majors and may be more affordable options. And I agree that you definitely need to talk to your parents before you go any further and get an idea of how much money you have to spend for college.</p>
