<p>Hi, I'm a junior in High School and the college search has begun..
I'm not entirely sure yet what type of college is right for me, I'm strongly considering liberal arts colleges like Bowdoin and Colby, but I still want to keep my options open for other great schools.
The main things are that I want to stay in New England, New York is fine too, and I'm interested in history and perhaps archeology. Also, I'm not sure yet how i feel about going to a college that's smaller than my high school (which is close to 4,000 students). I have a lot to decide on my own but if you could recommend any great colleges in new england or are well known for their history and social sciences programs, that'd be great! Thanks!</p>
<p>Tufts comes to mind, and if you don't mind being in New York City, Barnard too. Probably Wellesley, Boston U, Boston C. And if you're looking for that kind of thing, the Ivies are all in New England/Mid-Atlantic, are bigger than 4,000, and have good programs all around.</p>
<p>A few universities in New England would be:
New York University
Boston University
University of Maryland- College Park ( Many people conversate on whether its part of New England, although don't know what you would consider it)</p>
<hr>
<p>Other good universities:
Michigan State University
University of Michigan- Ann Arbor
University of Wisconsin- Madison
University of Minnesota- Twin Cities
Ohio State University- Columbus
Pennslyvania State University- University Park</p>
<p>BU, Penn State University Park, Tufts, and Wesleyan all have both history and archeology majors. Brown, Columbia, Cornell, and Yale also have both, but it doesn't seem that you're looking towards Ivies.
Good luck making your list!</p>
<p>For history the best in the New England Area would be</p>
<p>Bowdoin College Polar Bears
Connecticut College Camels
Dartmouth College Big Green
Harvard University Crimson
Trinity College Bantams
Colgate University Raiders</p>
<p>Ha, I am glad country day included the mascots. Otherwise, I think I might have had no idea what schools he/she was talking about. Not trying to be an ass, just thought it was humorous.</p>
<p>northeastern university!</p>

<p>Look at the 10000000000000s of colleges in MA. A heck of a lot of them are top notch</p>
<p>thanks! i'll look into a lot of those schools!</p>
<p>If Maryland is New England, Arizona is the Midwest. o.O
Anyway, if New York is fair game, check out Vassar. Fairly small (~3k, I think), but with a very high awesomeness quotient.</p>
<p>OK Coolbreeze, explain yourself. :) No one on the planet has ever considered Maryland part of New England (New England being precisely, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut - nothing more, nothing less). But I'm guessing that while you're now in Michigan, you're probably not originally from the U.S., right?</p>
<p>U of Maryland is near Washington DC. Washington DC is the capital of the entire USA, of which New England is a part. Hence, U of Maryland is in New England. Or something like that. In a world where someone as abrasive as Hillary Clinton is chosen to be our Secretary of State and promote smooth relations with hostile countries, that reasoning makes sense.</p>

<p>Mid-atlantic!</p>
<p>I second the suggestion of my own school, Wesleyan. It's big for an LAC (~3,000), and has both of your majors.</p>
<p>Ireves123> Do you have an area of history that interests you?</p>
<p>Holy Cross and Tufts.</p>
<p>thanks again!</p>
<p>Oh and nice try guys, Maryland is definitly not New England.</p>
