PLEASE help me find a college =(

<p>i can't find anything i want to go to. i think i find the one, then i google it and it turns out that everyone hates it there (i.e. northwestern university and NYU) I will answer any of your threads if you post a link and answer my question =)</p>

<p>I want:
-out of state (i'm in VA)
-really good reputation, like people recognize the name
-not impossible to get into, but not easy
-friendly campus people (preferably predominantly liberal)
- tuition <30,000
- preferably not totally greek
- it'd be nice if it was in a big city (nyc, chicago, boston, etc)</p>

<p>The CUNYs might meet your need.</p>

<p>[Tuition</a> & Fees - Financial Aid - CUNY](<a href=“http://www.cuny.edu/admissions/financial-aid/estimating-costs/tuition-fees.html]Tuition”>http://www.cuny.edu/admissions/financial-aid/estimating-costs/tuition-fees.html)</p>

<p>It’s the tuition <30,000 that limits you for out-of-state. At that tuition you are better off in-state as far as reputation goes. That’s why most kids go in-state public. You get the best bang for your buck, especially in VA.</p>

<p>The SUNYs might also work.</p>

<p>I agree with checking out the SUNY and CUNY system. CUNY is based in NYC and SUNY is NYS I personally haven’t looked at the CUNY system but i have been looking at the SUNY system, and one SUNY school school that I’m interested would be a 5000$ tuition A YEAR and about 18,000 for all the expenses combined (including tuition), this is for in state students out of state tuition is about 13 thousand not 100% sure. Which would bring total expenses for the year at about 27,000$ this is specifically for SUNY Cortland here is the page for SUNY Cortland</p>

<p>And here is the general SUNY page</p>

<p>The tuition may not work, but financial aid may help for these:
George Washington
American
Northeastern
UMaryland
Drexel</p>

<p>(Villanova
Bryn Mawr
Haverford)-Outside of Philly</p>
