<p>I am looking almost exclusively at women's colleges, and Mills has been the one that has contacted me the most. At first, I wasn't really paying attention, but I've become more interested as time goes on.</p>
<p>My two concerns are:</p>
<p>1) Location. I am from New England and enjoy that. I like cool weather and cloudy days and cities that don't feel like cities. In California, I have only visited Los Angeles and San Diego, both of which I loathe. Is Northern California really that different?</p>
<p>2) Academics. It appears from what I have learned that they are mostly known for their art programs? I would be majoring in English (literature) or political science. Would I be challenged and have a good variety of courses available to me?</p>
