Good college on the west coast for an average student?

<p>I live in Nevada, which isn’t exactly the best place for education, because not only are we broke like California, we also spend the least on students in the nation. Not to mention here’s pretty much only TWO big colleges to choose from here (UNLV or UNR), unless you want to go to community college… not exactly much to choose from compared to other states…</p>

<p>I was thinking of majoring in Neuroscience (or maybe even a Psych/Bio double major?), but the problem with that is not many schools offer the major itself. </p>

<p>@mom2collegekids: I checked that site you gave me, and I think I might be able to cover 95% of it. I’m not 100% sure thought because concerning finances, my parents don’t seem to tell me anything.</p>

<p>As for those colleges like Chapman and Gonzaga, would it be a problem for me fitting in? I was always worried that I’d feel alienated at religiously affiliated schools cause I’m not religious at all.</p>
