<p>I don't really know where I should start looking for colleges. I told my guidance counselor that I don't want to go to colleges in the Northeast (I live in New Jersey), and she isn't very aware of colleges outside of the Northeast.</p>
<p>-I think I want to major in business or something of that nature.
-I got at 27 on my ACT's.
-My GPA is 3.6.
-I'd say my extracurriculars are average, and I'll have either taken 2 or 3 AP courses by the time I graduate.
-I'd prefer something with a warm climate where it isn't super cold in the winter.
-I've already taken note of Pepperdine, Santa Clara University, Miami of Ohio, College of Charleston, and Clemson.
-I'm not looking for a super party school either, but I also don't want to go to a boring place.</p>
<p>I've been looking around but people on here seem to know what they're talking about, so I figured I'd ask you guys for help. What are some other colleges that I should look at?</p>
<p>The weather is nice relative to NYC/Chicago
Great business school that you could get into with your stats
It is a big 10 university so there is something always going on. There are a fair amount of parties, but you can always do something else (there are free movies, boweling, concerts, etc.)</p>
<p>Elon in North Carolina is popular in our area: The BS in Business Administration offers degrees in in Entrepreneurship, Finance, Management, and Marketing.</p>
<p>Dickenson College in PA is another popular choice with a degree in Int’l Business and Mgt.</p>
<p>the weather in the north sucks, the south is a lot better haha, just kidding, but obviously everyone has different preferences</p>
<p>Some more suggestions:
-University of San Diego
-Texas Christian University
-UT-Dallas
-NC State
-Florida State
-South Carolina
-Oklahoma
-Texas Tech
-Arkansas
-University of Houston
-University of Hawaii
-Tennessee
-LSU
-Kansas State
-Florida International
-Central Florida
-Baylor</p>
<p>I would second some of these suggestions and as a native Californian I would say University of San Diego and Loyola Marymount. Unless you are religious, you probably don’t want to go to Pepperdine. You most likely like the idea of Pepperdine (beautiful campus on the beach) and in that case you should consider LMU. In addition to schools like Clemson and Indiana, I think you may want to look at Richmond, Rollins, and SMU.</p>
<p>Obviously, this all depends on your family’s financial situation and what they can afford. From what is sounds like, you probably won’t be looking at super-selective schools, but you can get into some very good private schools like USD or a Richmond. The problem with these schools is that they often deal with loans rather than grants.</p>
<p>You also should spend some time thinking about where you want to live after graduation. I know that is a long way off, but you will realize when you get to college (especially in business) that what college you choose will directly determine where you can get a job. When you visit these schools ask people for specific examples of where recent graduates are working and for whom. This assumption is a generalization, but if you ultimately wanted to work in NYC, it would be much easier attaining a job there with a degree from Villanova rather than from USD.</p>
