<p>I have applied to a couple of schools at my current state. Most of them are near where I live. My mom told me positively that I would be a commuter unless I go to a better school. She see no reason to waste money on room and board. I wasn't against that when I first applied. I took her advice and went on some college tours. However, I talked to a college guy I know and he told me that he regretted being a commuter. Being a commuter, you cannot experience the so call "college life". I want to apply to some out of state schools right now. So please suggest anything for me besides Massachusetts and Rhode Island. I also want to go to a good school. </p>
<p>So the question I wanted to ask are:</p>
<p>1) Is there any good schools outside of MA and Rhode Island that is still taking applicants?</p>
<p>I really appreciate this because my happiness over the next four years is going to depend on this. Thanks!!!</p>
