Inexpensive New England/Middle-Eastern Universities?

I’m confused. Is this you saying, “You won’t find smart people here”, “This atmosphere seems about right”, or something completely different?</p>

<p>I’m getting the feeling that it meant the first one…
If that’s the case:
I would like to go to a school similar to Bucknell and BU. However, reading through these posts is kind of making me give up my hopes of doing such. That’s why I’m even looking at York. If I don’t get into/ don’t get enough aid from a top choice, it’s a good safety to fall back on.</p>
