UGA vs Clemson vs JMU

<p>I have applied to some amazing schools and I am having such a hard time figuring out which one I would like best. First let me start off by saying that if I get accepted to UVA, that is most likely where I will be going. But, I am definitely not a shoe-in there so I want to make sure I make the best choice on what my second choice will be. I am already accepted into JMU and I will most likely be accepted in UGA and Clemson.</p>

<p>I am a Virginia resident, and while my parents would certanily prefer to pay in-state tuition, money is not really an issue for my family. I am planning on majoring in either Marketing or Fashion Merchandising (which is only offered at UGA). After college, I do plan on going to a graduate school for either Fashion Merchandising or Fashion Design. I am liberal, and while I do not care if others around me share all of my views, I do not want to be scrutinized for my political beliefs. I am also Catholic and would certainly not want to be scrutinized for that but would definitely want to have a church near the school so that I could go as often as possible. D1 football is a huge plus for UGA and Clemson but not something that will make up my mind. Social life is EXTREMELY important to me. I am definitely a partier and I like to have fun but I am also very dedicated to my studies and want to recieve the best education that I can recieve. With that said, the easier the work, the better, as long as I am getting a quality education that will serve me well after college. I will probably rush at all three schools so that I can make friends quickly, but would probably only join a sorority at UGA and Clemson and only if I really felt like I would enjoy it.</p>

<p>Basically, I am leaning toward either UGA or JMU. JMU has the worst reputation academically but would probably be the easiest school and offer a great social life. Plus, JMU is definitely the most liberal and probably has more kids like me. UGA is in a fantastic college town and is sure to offer me a great education and social life. UGA also has a Fashion Merchandising program and a Fashion Design club so that would look really good for graduate school. I am leaning against Clemson because I think it is less of a party school (and people very rarely go out on weekdays) and I do not like that is in the middle of nowhere. I also think the student body is very conservative and I am not sure tht I could handle it. </p>

<p>I am open to everyone's opinions! Please tell me which school you think I would fit in best. I am having a really tough time so please help!</p>
