No idea whaere to go.

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm very disappointed. I got into pretty much all my safeties and none of my matches or reaches.</p>

<p>I've been admitted to:
Bard
Lawrence University (accepted as a dual degree student)
University of Vermont (honors college)
Trinity</p>

<p>About me:
Academics: I'm very intellectual. I'm probably looking for a major in philosophy or physics.
Political views: I'm very liberal. I'd be happy at a liberal school or a school not concerned with politics.
Music: I'm very into playing the bassoon. I'd like to have a fairly good orchestra, but probably won't end up becoming a professional musician.
Social Scene: I'm gay, and probably would not be happy at a very homophobic school. Big "gay scenes" are probably good, but not too much of a plus.
Extra: I'm not really into drugs, smoking, or alcohol, and am slightly turned off by schools where those are big factors.</p>

<p>Of the above, what do you think would be a good school for me?</p>

<p>Do some research on Trinity...I have no direct knowledge of this but hear that Trinity is fairly conservative politically and is not very gay-friendly</p>

3

<p>Trinity doesn't have an orchestra. Right now, it's looking like my last choice.</p>

4

<p>bard is very liberal and a good school</p>

5

<p>Bard does have a reputation for pot smoking, though. See if they have a substance-free dorm.</p>

6

<p>oh yeah... bard is veerrryyyyyy 420 friendly</p>

7

<p>I don't know if it does or does not have substance free dorms. I'll have to check. However, it's ranked #2 in "Top Ten Marijuana Smoking Schools".
It still might be my best choice.</p>

<p>From my (limited) knowledge, Lawrence U would be very good for you because of its excellent music programs. UVM is in an absolutely great college town, but the music school is surprisingly small and my understanding is that drugs are still are pretty big thing there (although the tour guides insist that all that is changing).</p>
