<p>Okay well I'm a rising senior, and I'm just looking to get more information on these schools. I posted it in the parent's forum because your guy's answers are usually more thorough and informative. And since you parents, I asked where you would want your kids to go. But anyways, I was hoping the rest of you would follow LilyMoon's example and describe what you like/dislike about on the schools on my list.</p>
<p>And here is why all of those schools are on my list. </p>
<p>University of Miami is my #1. It is perfect. City life, beaches, warm weather, nice and compact campus, amazing social life, hurricane football and school spirit, tons of options, great business school, communication, and sport management. It is the perfect size. 10k. </p>
<p>Pepperdine, LMU, and USD are all extremely similar schools. The only difference is Pepperdine is more religious, but it definitely isn't overwhelming. I have visited Pepperdine and LMU and they are basically the same school. I just liked the community feeling at a smaller school, and the location, weather, beaches, campus, and business majors are all great, and these schools are all D1 and have pretty good sports. And while the administration may be strict, the students are way more lively than one would think. With great proximity to clubs, bars, beaches, mexico, and a pretty strong frat scene....these schools are full of social opportunities as well. But I would give the edge to LMU for being the most laid-back.</p>
<p>SDSU is my instate option. It has a good business major, and it is just a fun school in a major city, with a nice campus, weather, beaches, and social life. And the school is D1 and has great basketball.</p>
<p>^^^Are you starting to notice why I like all of these schools.</p>
<p>And then there is IU and WSU...most people don't get why I like these schools either. The reason is..why I would like to go to a school with a nice, clean, compact campus, with warm weather, near a major city, close to beaches, good city life and social life.......I also think going to a college town would be a great experience, and I don't think there is a better school than IU for that. And I just added WSU on there because I know I would get a nice scholarship and the school would be less than an instate school.</p>
<p>Thanks...and if you have anymore questions about my schools feel free to ask, but I'm just hoping you will do as LilyMoon did, and pick a school and explain why you like it. Thanks.......</p>
