<p>My daughter is a freshman and will be coming home next semester to attend a local school. She is looking for a school for the fall. We live in Westchester county NY and would like a school within 3 hours driving. Looking for:
serious school for a B range student, alot to do on campus, not a party school, not christian-affiliated, not a huge school, pretty campus, nice town</p>
<p>any suggestions?</p>
<p>your post is not entirely clear, IMO. Is she currently a college freshman? So, would she be applying as a transfer for sophomore year. You probably should give SAT range, too, for people to be more helpful.</p>
<p>Is she a high B or low B student? SUNY New Paltz might fit the bill but the median gpa they are looking for is 88-92.</p>
<p>Maybe Hartwick College in Oneonta is a fit.</p>
<p>Ursinus ¶, West Chester ¶ and Drew (NJ). The schools that both LilyMoon and RSBuletz mentioned are good choices too.</p>
<p>thank you - I will look into these - already checked New Paltz - no housing for transfer students</p>
<p>That’s true - my son is a transfer student there. There are lots of housing options in the village within walking distance to campus, loaded with students. It’s a great close knit community. I wouldn’t rule out the school because of it. My son lives in a townhouse with transfer students in a complex of transfers. He’s meeting lots of great down to earth people. If you want any more info on New Paltz, I’d be happy to answer any questions.</p>
<p>Hartwick guarantees housing for all students all four years. </p>
<p>Spots are also held open for transfers and apps are reviewed on a rolling basis, so matriculation can be at the start of any term.</p>
<p>Why is she leaving the school she’s at? That may help in identifying campuses that offer a change.</p>
<p>We have experience with Hartwick-happy student, good results. Majored in Music(voice) and Nursing-now an NP who performs at weddings etc for “fun”</p>
<p>Thanks for all your responses - she feels that has been hard to meet people - biggish school and admin doesn’t have on campus activities. Would like a school where it is easier to meet people and where everyone doesn’t already know each other because they leave nearby</p>
