Help me find another college :)

This might seem stupid but niche keeps giving me the same colleges and I am worried that there is a good college out the for me and I don’t even know it.

Here are my stats and a little about myself/ what I am looking for. If you sound like me please tell me what colleges you applied to.

Location: mountains, snow, east coast, west coast, up north. I really just want it to snow and it won’t get above 70…no where in California or Oregon. I am an outdoorsy person, I love hiking/ camping and all of that and feel like colleges that are in beautiful locations draw in a certain person so location is important for me!

Stats: 3.5, not submitting SAT, no aps, a good letter of recommendation, no sports, but I have a ton… like a ton of extracurriculars that I was heavily involved in + a bunch of community service hours, and a really good common app essay. So therefore I am aiming for colleges with 60+ acceptance rate

I am able to be flexible with majors as most colleges have some sort of biology or kinesiology - bio or kinesiology are my most favorable majors as of right now.

Type of school: state school or uni is fine, game days, good education, nice people.

Right now the only schools that meet that criteria is app state and Montana state. If you sound like me please tell me what colleges you applied to. Thanks!

Have you looked at University of VT? Lots of outdoor types and a very nice school.

Price constraints?

Look at College of the Atlantic in Maine (and the Maine public U’s for that matter). COA is gorgeous in a pristine part of the coastline (whale watching anyone?). Everyone majors in Human Ecology but you’d get a ton of bio in that (less kinesiology).

But your budget comes first…

Are you a junior or a senior? If a senior, you need to get your applications in.

Strictly speaking up here in the Northeast it does get well about 70 in the summer. I am pretty sure that it even gets above 70F up in eastern Canada (such as Nova Scotia and New Brunswick) but it probably exceeds 70F by less than it does in New England.

I am pretty sure that UVM has kinesiology, but you might want to check. I do not think that you would get a merit scholarship with your GPA so it would not be cheap. UNH and U.Maine Orono also come to mind and are probably a bit less expensive. All of these schools, and almost anywhere else, will have good biology programs.

Your budget is important. It would help us to know what this is.

If you’re open to study abroad for a semester or a year, check out University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand!

It gets above 70 at every college I can think of, even in Canada.
