I have been admitted into LMU, USD, and SMU and I am trying to decide where I wish to attend in the fall.
I am a female from CA, and I have visited LMU and USD (and i’m visiting SMU at the end of the month). Right now, I am feeling very conflicted, and I don’t have a strong inclination towards any specific school. I want to school to be medium size, and have a collegiate, spirited feel. I feel as though LMU would be a good fit for me, but I am worried it may be too small–I also don’t know how I feel about there being more girls than guys that attend the school. I have also heard that the guys aren’t very attractive, but I obviously won’t base my decision on that. I know that SMU is very spirited and gives you the typical college experience, but I don’t know that I would want to be that far from home. Being in Texas would be a big change, but I think it could also be interesting and fun. I know Dallas has a great nightlife and the various frats throw parties, but I am also worried that SMU may feel too big and the people there might be too snobby and rich (based on stereotypes). USD has a gorgeous campus, but I don’t know much else about their social environment. Another fear I have with LMU is the fact that it’s mostly house parties and there’s not a designated frat row and whatnot. I have not brought up the education as much because I know the education is amazing at each school, and I am excited to take advantage of that wherever I go.
Does anyone have any insights to share??? I am stressed for decisions on May 1.
I am also considering SDSU, but it is so different than those three so I didn’t include it. However, insights about SDSU are also welcome!
and…I’m also considering Chapman, although it seemed rather small and I didn’t love the area (which is like those 3, but I didn’t love it–I would mostly consider it for the scholarship they gave me)
Thank you in advance!
any and all feedback or opinions are appreciated
