<p>The three schools that I am most interested in are Tufts (Reach), William & Mary (low reach/ questionable match), and UVM (safety)</p>
<p>I want to study Environmental Studies/ Environmental policy
I want a school with between 5,000-12,000 students
I would prefer suggestions with a selectiveness between UVM and William & Mary but any are welcome
I want smallish class sizes taught by professors not TA's
I like colleges with a more suburban feel rather than urban possibly offering outdoor activities readily available
East coast preferably and then West Coast too </p>
<p>*I know its a lot but I really need advise because I don't want to apply to only 3 schools</p>
<p>Gonzaga University
University of Denver (not on the west coast, but still in a suburban area in the west)
Western Washington University
Loyola Marymount
The College of New Jersey
University of Rochester
Emory University
SUNY - ESF (not exactly suburban, but shares a campus with Syracuse)</p>
<p>Note: Be careful on listing things as “Must Have” it tends to limit results severely. </p>

<p>Based on your name, I recommend Pitzer, about 40 miles inland from the west coast, in Claremont, CA. I don’t know its selectivity. The school is part of a consortium of about 5,000 people, but Pitzer itself is smaller. It has outdoor activities and is suburban. Check it out and see if it’s what you want! :)</p>
