Help me to find an university for me

College Search & Selection

<p>I am an international student, and I am in currently community college in west coast and seeking for a 4 year university to transfer.</p>

<p>I want to have a major of geological or civil engineering(both of them are okay, because what I am finding is a practical major related with geology at bachelor's degree. I want to have a major of geology in graduate school.)</p>

<p>To be honest, I do not want to go to "top" schools of that major in US-it is too competitive, and tuition is expensive. I prefer to go to a "second tier" university, which has less cost of tuition(I do not care much about cost of living, because it should be high I want to go to a large city or suburb of a large city, because I do not have a car and want to use affordable mass transit.) and a little bit less competitive.</p>

<p>As stated above, I want to go to a large city because of transit problem. I want to keep staying in West coast, but that is not necessary. I am prepared to leave here if needed.</p>

<p>Wow...that's a lot of requirements. I do not think there are so many university 100% match with those conditions, but please help me to find one.</p>

<p>In terms of US dollars, what can you afford?</p>

<p>One low cost suggestion is the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. Most Western airports offer flights to Albuquerque, and from there you need to take a shuttle to Socorro.</p>

<p>I just found thr tuition and fee(of course out of state) of New Mexico tech-I think about 1.6 time of this university is the maximum, but I prefer to be similar with that tuition of New Mexico tech. Thank you for suggesting. Even though it is not 100% match with my hope, but I would include it in my consideration.</p>

<p>Some other ideas: Arizona University, University of North Carolina Charlotte, Northeastern, Univ. of Colorado Denver, University of Virginia Richmond</p>
