<p>What is it that you are interested in studying? Might help in terms of recommendations.</p>

3

<p>Boston College.........</p>

4

<p>Brown university and/or Northeastern</p>

5

<p>Notheastern is already on my list :)</p>

<p>I'm looking to major in business. A great college campus in a typical college town with the feel of Boston or Philly. Preferably in the northeast. </p>

<p>NO MORE IVIES!! LOL</p>

6

<p>I'd second the BC recommendation and perhaps Babson and Villanova? A BC degree rulz Boston from what I've heard.</p>

7

<p>I think BC too.</p>

<p>Do Cuny's like Queens and Baruch have housing?</p>

8

<p>I like BC but I'm worried about employment/recruitment opportunities. I'm trying to remember the source in which I saw it in but a good percentage of graduating BC students were unemployed 6 months after graduation.</p>

<p>CUNYs have limited housing so I am using them for my safeties as I live in NYC.</p>

<p>What are your views on Bentley College?</p>

9

<p>What about Lehigh? Did you look at U of M, NE, Syracuse and the others on your list? How did you like them?</p>

10

<p>Are you open to the University of Texas? It is far and a large univesity.</p>

11

<p>george washington university, american university, Emory,</p>

12

<p>university of michigan</p>

13

<p>I'd be a little wary of Bentley. Not very selective and seems to attract the dullards at my school. It has done a nice job of "marketing" itself though, which is another reason for concern. What did you hate about BU?</p>

14

<p>Maybe a few years' ago when all college grads were in tough shape. BC business has good placement.</p>

15

<p>How about Fordham University? Fordham has a reputable undergraduate business program in NYC. It is less selective than NYU but is more competitive than some CUNY schools.</p>

16

<p>Babson?......</p>

17

<p>What did you hate about BU? if you tell us that, we can suggest colleges which dont have whatever you hated.</p>

18

<p>I mostly hated the student body and the modern, cold feel of the campus. It's basically like a crappy version of NYU with bad architecture. I hated the campus. And the students I spoke to, which were around 50 from different residences said that the social life was terrible. After visiting, I beleive them. The university is seriously lacking a community feel with spirit.</p>

19

<p>Emory University (Goizueta)</p>

20

<p>I'm not a huge fan of BU's campus but I gotta say that if you didn't connect with anyone at such a diverse school and meeting over 50 people, the problem just might not be with the school and might have something to do with you? Just sayin...</p>
