Narrowing down my list (UF, UVA, W&M, CofC, UNC, etc.)

<p>I've started applying to schools but right now I have too many that I'm considering. I want to keep it around five or six schools I think. I just want some general opinions on schools from the point of view of people that I don't know. I'm looking for bias! I won't give you any of my personal stats now because I just want to know about the schools from YOU. Also I don't want to hear about my chances of getting in/where the best place for my major is/etc. I have all of that in mind already! I just want some more, general information about the schools, the feel of the campuses, student body, and all that. Thank you for your input!</p>

<p>The List:
University of Florida
University of North Carolina
University of Virginia
Florida State University
Auburn University
College of William and Mary
College of Charleston
Georgetown University
Columbia University</p>

<p>Go to the main page where all of the forums are listed, and scroll down until you find the Colleges and Universities Forum, then follow the links there to find the sub-forums for specific colleges and universities. You will find lots of useful information if you re-post your questions at the individual institution’s forums.</p>

<p>This may not be too helpful. But I’m a huge duck fan and went to the Oregon auburn national championship game and sat in the auburn section. Auburn has tons of pride and the NICEST fans. They were super polite and friendly to us. I would mess with them. But they were incredibly nice and we’re not jerk when they won.</p>

<p>Also from personal experience from college tours: UNC is great and a great college town, but too big for my taste. William and Mary rocks and has super friendly students. And I hated Georgetown. Not quite sure why. But I HATED it and wanted to leave early (we still stayed the entire time).</p>

<p>Thank you! Yeah I live in North Florida, so I’m very close to Auburn and have a lot of friends who are big Auburn fans, so I’ve been to a couple games and you’re right, they do have the nicest fans probably of any college sports team I’ve seen! I loved UNC. You’re right, it is big, so I’m not too sure about it. Funny that you wanted to leave early! When I toured there was another girl there who hated it too and kept asking her parents when it would be over, haha. Georgetown is actually where I’ve wanted to go my whole like, so I loved it! I didn’t get to see W&M, but my aunt and uncle went there so I’ve got a pretty good idea of it.</p>

<p>And thanks happymom for the forum tip!</p>
