College Search & Selection
1

<p>Well, out of the 8 schools I've been accepted to, I've narrowed down my list to Bard, Quinnipiac, and UCONN (assuming that some stranger does not offer to give me his/her life-savings to go to college w/ no strings attached). These schools offered me the best financial aid packages. I would love to be in the city, but it looks like that's not gonna happen. I don't really want to go to school in CT, but w/e. </p>

<p>Preferences
Possible major: Chemistry
Class sizes: small
Professors: educated, good, available to students
School Size: small to medium; united student body
Needs: Mall; easy transportation to and from college
Diversity: lots
Curriculum: excellent, esp. for possible major
Facilities: Gym (would be nice) and a library
Financial Aid: more than half of tuition, books, etc...
-Bard: ~28,000
-Quinnipiac: ~12,000
-UCONN: ~6,200</p>

<p>Can anyone give me their opinions on where I should go?</p>

<p>sounds like Bard to me if oyu can afford it.</p>

3

<p>why do you suggest bard?</p>

4

<p>you want small classes at a small to medium sized college.</p>

<p>uconn is huge and you wont get small classes at quinnipiac</p>

5

<p>what about bard's distance from the city? Are you in college? Where? If you don't mind sharing...</p>

<p>Bard sounds like a good fit, but the chemistry program gives me pause. The program is small (four faculty members), but relatively few chem majors means you should have research opportunities. Quinnipiac is well-known for the health sciences, but it's not particularly good at getting students into grad school. For a small school, avoid U Conn (although its class sizes are small).</p>

<p>Thanks, looks like Bard is the place for me...</p>
