Finding Colleges

<p>I'm a high school junior and I'm having trouble narrowing my college list down. I won't even post it here, because I've basically just listed every single college anyone has ever recommended to me. I want to use this thread to learn more about specific colleges. Obviously, I know that I'd have to visit the campus to really learn about it, but the thing is, I feel so undecided that even when I go to campuses I can't make decisions.</p>

<p>Here are the states that I'm looking at: New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania. I'd really appreciate it if you could post telling me about a college in one of those places. Please mention all types of colleges - those that are super-hard to get into, and even those that aren't.</p>

<p>I'd also really appreciate it if you could guide me towards figuring out my requirements. I'm torn between being too picky and not picky at all.</p>

<p>Do you know if you are interested in:
Large school or small?
Urban or Rural?
Public or Private?
National or LACs?</p>
