<p>Will you have the change to visit schools this spring? You could look at a variety of schools in one area to better understand the type of school you like. For example, in the Boston area you could look at Boston University, Brandeis, Providence, and UMass Amherst. Colby and Conn College are LAC's that would likely be matches. Once you have an idea of the type of school you like, you can focus on similar types of schools in other areas.</p>
