I live in Arizona....but I really want to go out of state. So I'll give you my stats and hopefully you can give me some suggestions....

<p>Best Buddies. Cool program. If you put a lot of effort into it, it should make for a good essay.</p>

<p>It's hard to make a recommendation of a safety for you without knowing your financial situation, particularly whether you are in a position to pay out-of-state tuition at a public university.</p>

<p>ummm... My parents would be in a posistion to pay out of state tuition....

<p>Near the ocean: Santa Clara, San Diego State, U of Rhode Island, U of Miami.</p>

<p>Not near the ocean, but decent places to spend 4 years: Baylor, SMU, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado, Arkansas, U of Denver.</p>

<p>I think that Pepperdine is near the ocean (in Malibu). Also, look at Flagler College in St. Augustine, FL (it's small though).</p>

<p>Eckerd College in St Pete, Florida is right on the beach and is a great school
Read about it in Colleges that Change Lives, by Loren Pope</p>
