<p>Hi, this is my first post here. I've been reading threads for all but first time posting. I'm a junior still looking at colleges. I was wondering if you guys could suggest any colleges that are in the suburbs of a major city or in a major city but not in the west(Colorado is ok though) that is not too hard to get into(like BU hard) and has a great political science program. Thanks</p>
<p>George Washington
American
U Rochester
Syracuse</p>
<p>also:
U Maryland College Park
Pitt
U Oregon
U Washington
Ohio State
Drew
Occidental
U Richmond</p>
<p>Wisconsin, Michigan</p>
<p>Collegehelp- University of Richmond is quite competitive, if not more than U of Boston. Richmond Sats about 40 points higher..................</p>
<p>Emory.....it says Atlanta on the address, but it's really in a neighborhood with the skyline a few miles away.</p>
<p>GW would be perfect.</p>
<p>also American, Richmond, Wisconsin, Michigan, Rochester</p>
<p>I already talked with my parents about GW, they said it would be too expensive.</p>
<p>financial aid and scholarships can help a lot.</p>
<p>GW is the MOST expensive university. I don't think it's worth it, honestly. Maybe look at Trinity U in San Antonio, NYU (not as hard to get into as people think), Tulane (assuming LA and TX aren't considered west)</p>
<p>University of Denver</p>
<p>Are there any other liberal art schools with good polisci or IR that would fit my description?</p>
<p>Also I'd prefer to be in a liberal-minded place. I don't really want to go to school in Georgia. I wouldn't mind a big school like michigan or a small school like denver.</p>
<p>Denver is actually a medium sized school but its really nice. It was one of my top choices.</p>
<p>I'd check out American U. might be more affordable and offer aid. Also check out Towson or Loyola (MD), too.</p>
<p>Lewis and Clark College (Portland) sorry, I know you don't like the west, but I would seriously consider it. It's beautiful and their strongest programs are IR and Politics</p>
<p>Villanova? I haven't visited, but it's in Philiadelphia and seems strong.</p>
<p>I second UMD College Park as long as you can get past the prisonlike dorms and hugeness.</p>
<p>And as for the expense of some of these schools, you can always apply for financial aid and see what you get.</p>
<p>Oh, and if you were willing to consider the West Coast
University of San Francisco
Seattle University
Santa Clara University
Loyola Merrimount University
Occidental College
Pitzer College
University of Portland</p>
<p>BUT SERIOUSLY, LEWIS AND CLARK!</p>
<p>I just don't think I'd want to move all the way across the united states.</p>
<p>west coast=better weather, and there's a certain point where as long as you have to get on an airplane, it's all far.</p>
<p>Don't know much about it, but doesn't George Mason have alot of majors geared toward poly sci, etc. You would be right outside DC and I'm told that school is very involved in gov't.</p>
<p>assuming you're from Boston, UMD Coll Park will be hard to get into becuase you're not from Maryland. GW, and AU are really really great universities. I live in DC, no more than 8 minutes driving distance away from AU and its in a great neighborhood.</p>
