<p>Im a guy from the northeast. Westport, CT to be exact. Im not very happy with my current location in terms of weather and people, its a very rich town and the people are very uptight and rigid. Im looking for a more laid back "chill" lifestyle where people are very happy and cheerful and are generally very friendly. I smoke alot of pot and drink a little bit so im looking to apply to a school in southern California where the weather is beautiful and the people are known as being very laid back.</p>

<p>I am a B flat average student , who attends staples high school the number one ranked school in terms of academics for the state of conneticut. </p>

<p>What colleges should i apply to if im interested in partying, academics are not very rigorous but the students who attend the school do have some work ethic. I'm looking for a school where the people are friendly and the scenery/weather is nice, and partying is commonplace. Basically im gunning for the w's weed and women. What schools in california match that describtion?</p>

<p>how about the University of Arizona? fits all of your criteria…</p>

<p>I don’t know of any school in CA that you can be accepted to with a flat B average that fits your criteria…maybe someone else does?</p>

3

<p>San Diego State
Santa Clara University
Occidental College</p>

<p>these might work.</p>

4

<p>Arizona and Arizona State. Also take a look into some of the state schools in the Southeast.</p>

5

<p>im looking at schools in mainly california, preferably non commuter</p>

<p>You need to go to San Diego State my brother.</p>

<p>Sorry everyone but Brian is not going to get in to SDSU with a B flat avg…even from out of state. If you live within the San Diego area that may fly but even CA kids who want to go there need upwards of a 3.8 or so to get in…yes, it’s that popular.</p>

<p>Brian, look into Occidental or some of the Claremont Colleges. N. Arizona U in Flagstaff might be a good fit and would work with your gpa. You might consider Humboldt state in way northern CA…lots of weed up that way, not that I condone that sort of thing.</p>

<p>LOL you think that he can’t get into SDSU but he’d get into the Claremont Colleges? Wow…</p>

<p>Depending on your SAT scores, SDSU could be a very viable option. Though it is popular, a good SAT score could definitely offset your GPA as their average isn’t too high (if I recall correctly anyways, I think it’s like in the mid-500s). If you’re in that range, also consider Occidental and Loyola Marymount.</p>

<p>OP, you should contact the moderators and see if your initial post can be changed to remove your high school name and location. </p>

<p>From the SDSU info for OOS applicants:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>UCSC might be a very slight possibility, but that’s going to run $50k a year. UCSB is out of academic reach for you. Cal State Chico and Humboldt are other possibilities, but these may be an even tougher parental sell than Santa Cruz.</p>

10

<p>an out of state 3.0 won’t get you into any UC… I’d also suggest SDSU , it’s exactly what the OPs looking for</p>

11

<p>If SDSU’s average GPA for OOS is 3.8, then the OP’s 3.0 GPA rules out SDSU.</p>

12

<p>Chico State would fit the bill</p>

13

<p>any of the cal states</p>

14

<p>lower cal states.</p>
