Help with Finding Colleges

College Search & Selection

<p>I'm having trouble finding colleges, so I made a list of things I want in a college and decided to post it here to see if anyone had any suggestions. Suggestions don't have to fit every single thing on the list. I understand that isn't realistic.

<p>Also no idea what your financial situation is… I was thinking about the Claremont Colleges, though. Although I think Scripps might be the best fit – it IS a women’s college, but it is part of a consortium of five colleges (the other 4 are coed) that share one large campus space of about 5,000 students today. The colleges fit together sort of like Lego blocks. You probably won’t be able to have your pet(s) there, though. But that is going to be a deal breaker at many colleges. And they don’t have sororities (but as a women’s college, do they really need them?).</p>
