posting on it again brings it to the most recent - usually the word bump is standard - don’t do it a ton, but it’s much better than starting a new thread. Alternatively you can post on the thread with a substantive comment if you have one, but either gets the job done.
Try using the supermatch function to the left (under find a college) for some ideas. You might also want to get your hands on some college guide books (Fiske, Princeton Review etc.) at your guidance office or local library and start reading up.
You could check out University of Colorado Boulder. They have decent academics, are really close to the Rockies, and are in a walking community. With your stats, you would be able to get in with lots of merit scholarships. For the big city part of things, Boulder is about a 40 minute drive from Denver. They have a very good bus system that goes between the two and are looking to put a train out there as well.
By nice architecture, do you mean a good program or just nice buildings? I don’t know anything of CU’s Architecture program, but I like the way the buildings look.
@cutepug medium sized or large probably @StringContrabass nice buildings, but an architecture program definitely wouldn’t hurt either. Thanks for the suggestion though, I’ll definitely look into it
