<p>I'm still a sophomore, so I haven't begun a serious college hunt yet, but I'm looking for some good places that I can aim for (not necessarily get accepted into). Ignoring my credentials for now (it's only been a year and a half - I don't have much to tell), this is what I'm looking for by order of importance:</p>
<p>-Good engineering or finance school
-Medium to large campus population
-Within traveling distance of a big city
-NOT a huge partying school
-Good climate (I'm sick of Texas)
-Coastal setting</p>
<p>I know it's very vague, but I just want to get a few ideas. And with the big city thing, that's not a huge deal; I just want to be somewhere with stuff to do on the weekends. And prestige; prestige is always nice.</p>
