Friendly Colleges?

College Search & Selection

<p>Hi... can anyone point me in the direction of some friendly colleges? Right now I'm looking at Guilford and Goucher, but I'm kind of stuck. My stats are:</p>

<p>Mostly A's and B's with a couple of C's (I had mono)
SAT is 1290 (CR+M)
I do a pretty good deal of extracurriculars but most of them are community service, as my school does not have any clubs or sports.
I'm trying to stay within about 5-6 hours of my home (central VA)</p>

<p>I know that there are friendly people and unfriendly people at all colleges, but some colleges seem to be just more friendly than others.</p>

<p>My older D visited Goucher, lovedi t, was accepted but got no merit aid. Had another girl from our school go there who really liked it.</p>

<p>check university of dallas</p>

<p>Look at some of the Pennsylvania LACs. Lots to choose from and m- ost will probably meet your needs - Allegheny, Gettysburg, Juniata, Franklin Marshall - to name a few.</p>

<p>Guilford is definitely a great option, as are most of the other Quaker schools.</p>

<p>Elon would be worth a look. For a fairly cheap in-state option, U Mary Washington.</p>

6

<p>Muhlenberg, Susquehanna and Juniata are extremely friendly schools</p>

<p>Why not go to this sites Campus Vibe reports. Here is Elon’s… (a very friendly school)…</p>

<p>DePaul is friendly. Nice students. Good academic programs yet “fun”</p>

<p>Thanks! Has anyone heard anything about Dickinson or Old Dominion University?</p>

<p>I’ve heard extremely good things about Dickinson. Someone from my high school goes there, and I know she loves it. Very small college feel, and that’s what she likes. </p>

<p>I haven’t really heard very good things about ODU, but it’s not like I would know.</p>

<p>I visited Ursinus College, and everyone was really chill and the like</p>

<p>Randolph College in Lynchburg is crazy friendly, but also really small (~500 students). It’s a definite safety.</p>

<p>ODU is in a more urban setting with over 20,000 students. The near and on-campus population is very close and friendly. There are a number of commuters as well, who seem to have a different experience. Thats because they arent as involved in campus life though. Its a very diverse campus, so be prepared to be around a variety of different cultures and lifestyles.</p>

<p>Dickinson is great…super friendly. It’s pretty competitive though, have your guidance counselor mention the mono. I’d also look at washington College and McDaniel College in Maryland.</p>
