<p>Good morning,</p>
<p>I know of Unity, but what are some other colleges that are either environmentally friendly or focused on environmental subjects? Thank you. </p>

<p>Princeton Review has a ranking system for green schools. Here’s a link for you:</p>
<p>[Green</a> Honor Roll](<a href=“http://www.princetonreview.com/green-honor-roll.aspx]Green”>Green College Honor Roll | Green Guide | College Rankings | The Princeton Review)</p>
<p>The Sierra club also has a ranking:</p>
<p>[Complete</a> Rankings: America’s Top Ten Coolest Schools - Sept/Oct 2011 - Sierra Magazine - Sierra Club](<a href=“http://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/201109/coolschools/all-schools.aspx]Complete”>http://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/201109/coolschools/all-schools.aspx)</p>
<p>The University of Wisconsin Green Bay, took a college visit there and they are literally all about the environment. The school is super green, all sorts of alternative energy projects are everywhere you look; there is a massive “arboretum” of sorts that surrounds the actual academic buildings.</p>
<p>They have multiple environmental study majors, so you should definitely check it out.</p>
<p>Check out Virginia Tech.</p>
<p>From the Princeton Review rankings article:</p>
<p>VT has 17 undergraduate and 15 graduate majors and degrees and more than 200 undergraduate and 140 graduate courses that integrate sustainability concepts and practices into areas of engineering, science, technology, design, natural resources, health, humanities, planning, and policy.</p>
<p>Their College of Natural Resources and Environment is top notch. Also, the campus is in a beautiful, rural environment in the Southwest Virginia mountains. Great resources for those who want to explore nature when they aren’t in class!</p>
<p>Northland (WI) and College of the Atlantic (ME).</p>
<p>@ LVKris, Thank you! I will check out these lists. The Sierra Club seems like a good organization to do these rankings and lists, as does the Princeton Review.
@ MidwestExpress, University of Wisconsin is a little bigger than the other schools I am considering, but thanks for the suggestion! I’ll look into it. I am friends with someone from Wisconsin originally, and he says its a great state to live in.
@ KandKsmom, Virginia Tech. is a great college. I really only asked this question because I want to go to an environmentally friendly school, not necessarily to major in any sort of science. However, if I could take my science courses in areas related to the environment and its issues or solutions, that would be excellent.
@ Poi, Thank you so much! I’ve heard that Maine is a beautiful place altogether. Also, I have received letters from both of these colleges saying that they are interested in me as a potential student, so perhaps I should do some more research on them. They seem like two great places to spend four years.</p>
<p>SUNY–Environmental Science and Forestry is attached to Syracuse and offers some very interesting options for majors.</p>
<p>That sounds awesome! I have heard that all of the SUNY schools are amazing. Thank you for your suggestion.</p>
<p>One of the nice things about the SUNY-ESF school is that out of state students can go there and pay OOS SUNY tuition (which is still pretty reasonable). They take mostly ESF courses, but can take classes at Syracuse as well.</p>
<p>^MD Mom. Great suggestion. I think SUNY-ESF is a real hidden gem in the sense that many hs students outside the state of NY aren’t too familiar with it. Awesome programs across many environmental fields.</p>
<p>@ MD Mom and KandKsmom, I’m going to subscribe to their mailing list. Perhaps this would be a college that I would be interested in. Thanks for the suggestion.</p>
