<p>You will want to look at larger universities, perhaps 2nd or 3rd tier for the best chance at scholarship money. Some LACs do offer cogsci/neuroscience/ling, but they are relatively rare. Sorry I can't be more helpful.</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

<p>[well instead of making another thread, i'm just going to update this with more info..so if anyone can help.. please? ]</p>

<p>-i want to be able to walk between classes, and not frantically run across and extremely large campus.</p>

<p>-preferably in a urban/city location.</p>

<p>-great public transit system</p>

<p>neuroscience? johns hopkins.</p>

6

<p>University of Pittsburgh
Honors college if you can get your SAT scores up to 1400.</p>

7

<p>Did you mention what state you're in?</p>

8

<p>i live in missouri, but i'm actually a texas resident</p>

9

<p>Most public universities will have majors in those fields. Rainy and cloudy and less expensive than the big publics? How about the Universities of Maine, New Hampshire, Idaho or Western Washington, or Portland State?</p>

<p>buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuump</p>

<p>University of Washington is well ranked and has the weather. However, if you are concerned with finances and debt, you need to consider your Texas state schools seriously. Maybe you can go, and then head north for optometry later. There really are not that many cheap rides outside of in-state tuitions.</p>

<p>No debt? Almost impossible these days. sorry.</p>
