College Search & Selection

<p>I want to be a polyglot so....I live in CA, but I may have to pay for my own college....give me an answer of where u would go if u were in the situation and then what I should do and then what is the best decision (leaving out where I live) for what I want to do.
SAT:1800
UC GPA:3.9</p>

<p>No one that I know (over twenty people) who goes to Hunter is very happy with their decision…</p>

<p>why? where they able to go to a better school? what do they say? I want to major in romance languages …have they interned?</p>

<p>Are you proficient at one or more Romance languages so that you want to go immediately into upper division courses?</p>

<p>If not, consider going to community college first, both to reduce costs and to be able to take as many Romance language courses as offered without having to squeeze them into limited schedule space.</p>

<p>Have you ever been to NYC in the winter? </p>

<p>All of my D’s friends who are at Hunter hate it. Her best friend’s psych 101 class had 700students - they were in different rooms with TVs. My D’s class, at an upstate SUNY, had 60 students.</p>

<p>If weather is not an issue, do you have someone to live with in Manhattan because housing costs are prohibitive and dorm space is at a premium unless you get into Macauley, which you MIGHT have a chance at. Your GPA is ok, your SATs are a little light but as an OOS you might bring a certain freshness. It wouldn’t hurt to apply.</p>

<p>i live in CA, community college is not an option because they only offer spanish and french…rarely</p>

7

<p>also, my family situation is confusing…I need space</p>

<p>If you live in the Bay Area, you can find more language options than Spanish and French.
Diablo Valley College offers French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, Japanese. The Peralta schools offer Spanish, French, German, Chinese and Japanese. Why not get your gen ed requirements out of the way and then transfer to a UC? If you have to pay for school yourself, unless you get scholarships and grants, there is no reason to go into more debt just taking the gen ed classes, and you may end up at a better school than SFSU.</p>

<p>I can’t possibly see, unless for financial reasons, why anyone would want to attend Hunter over SF State.</p>
