<p>Very good point about Ramapo. I made that my safety instead of NU. Why didn't I think of that.</p>
<p>I used to live in Elizabeth. Wow the world is small. I used to live on Palmer Avenue. Went to Cristopher Columbus School. So Kean is good eh? Is it one of your safeties? Is it big on commuter, they offer dorms?</p>
<p>Five Towns (<a href="http://fivetowns.edu%5B/url%5D">http://fivetowns.edu</a>) is a performing arts college for people interested in music business and audio engineering and etc. The only thing holding me back from it is that its a small conservative type school. But it offers everything I need and it aint hard to get in.</p>
<p>Whoa! Small world! I was born and raised there, went to Abraham Lincoln and then to Battin Middle School. Lived on Murray Street. </p>
<p>That just made my day!</p>
<p>Anyways, no I wasn't considering it...but now I think I'll open up to it. I think it's commuter ::edit:: yes, it is. But I don't doubt you'll have a chance to get housing. </p>
<p>Woot for Five Towns then. Always always always visit if you have qualms...it may not be that bad.</p>
<p>P.S. Did you see the "Reel" Temple??? I officially made Temple my top choice after seeing how random the students are. I loved it.</p>
<p>Yea, its a small world. Elizabeth is cool. My dad used to be co-owner of Metro Auto Alarms. I don't know if you know where that is.</p>
<p>See...Im considering colleges that are Far and Near. Because if they're near...I can easily get a job and get my own spot with a roomate and do a lot of things cuz im in my area.</p>
<p>But when its far, theres always the experience and all that. </p>
<p>But I dont think I can manage to live with my family another year. Heeellll no.</p>
<p>Ive made Kean my safety now. I just got Seton Hall, Rider and Rowan to get info on.</p>
<p>Yo sweetsaz I gotta thank you a million for real. Uve been amazing with the info and suggestions. ;)</p>
<p>Aw, thanks. Since you're looking basically in the same direction as I am, I can easily help you out :).</p>
<p>Lmao! I know how you feel. My mom went from being tolerable to grating all in one. I think it's just the thought that freedom is a year away and senior year is all that's keeping you from that. </p>
<p>With a respectable GPA of 3.4 (keep rising, they like that ALOT), and a good chance you'll get that 1900, I think many of those matches will become safe matches, just you watch. After I got my 1940 everything changed :). </p>
<p>Five Towns = match? It should be a safety. 83 % acceptance rate, surprisingly no stats besides that. You'll most likely get in.</p>
<p>You asked for info for Rider, Seton, and Rowan? Watch out for Rowan, they'll send you pointless emails.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I was about to ask this but I forgot. You have to be objective with your schools. I'd feel horrible if you chose a school and hated it, and ended up like so many kids and transfer a billion times. Would you be HAPPY at all of these schools? Do they fit most of your criteria?</p>
<p>Well, to answer that last question. I think id feel a little bit out of place at Emerson being that its really a top notch school compared to the other ones. Not to offend anyone or anything but Its like a rich school for communications. Itd take some adjusting. But its only a reach school so Im not worrying to much about that.</p>
<p>Rowan is in SOUTH Jersey. Besides the beach and amusement park in the summer, I really don't know what else there is to do there during the year. And I hear half the school commutes. I wouldnt mind the commuting if it was in my area where I know my way around, but im not familiar with South Jersey. But It does have a good communications program from what I hear.</p>
<p>CCNY. Its really the only COMMUTER school I have on my list. It has no campus and it would be my last choice. It also has a low acceptance rate and not to many out of staters. Not sure if its even worth applying since I got so many colleges already.</p>
