<p>when i was little, i had a Berkeley obsession, cause my dad went there & he was all like 'it's the best school there is;plus, because i went there, u have a better shot of getting in'</p>
<p>then i grew up & realized that UCs don't even look at legacy. THEN i realized that...i don't really even like Berkeley all that much. too...tech-y : /</p>
<p>right now i'm going through a bit of a Wesleyan/Brown obsession. flexible curriculums <33
oh & i love BU.
Vassar is gorgeous.
NYU is just awesome.
damn you amazing colleges for causing my obsessions :/</p>
<p>NYU has one of the worst college "campuses" (if you can even call it a campus) known to man. My friend, who graduated last year, attends NYU on a full theatre scholarship and hates it.</p>
<p>Princeton! I love all the schools I'm applying to and have extra soft spots for Brown and Pomona (LOVE the Pomona love in this thread btw :D) but whenever I go onto the Princeton website just for fun (hopefully I'm not the only one who does that) I always remember why I fell in love with it in the first place.</p>
<p>Smith:
--Beautiful campus
--Open curriculum!
--Great dorms--they're houses!
--Awesome alumnae network
--I don't think you have to be on campus during the January term, which is pretty cool</p>
<p>WPI
--Fantastic extracurricular music program
--Pretty smart kids
--Quarter system, which means you get to get through classes you hate quickly
--Diverse course catalogue
--You get out earlier in the year (not a crucial point, but a nice bonus)</p>
<p>I have calm down about Michigan State University speaking obsession wise, but it's still my top choice. Though I would say I find myself obsessed with Michigan State University campus when comparing it to other schools. Say Boston University, when I found it the campus wasn't like Michigan State University my consideration to attend there dramitically decreased. Same for University of Minnesota- Twin Cities, for most of their campus now seem to be cluster, and beginning to get lost within the city ( not an ideal campus). I like how Michigan State University campus is ( all the nature, landscape etc..), with a college town across the street.
School choices:
1. Michigan State University
2. University of Michigan- Ann Arbor</p>
<p>Just recently, I've fallen in love with Fordham. </p>
<p>-It's not totally unattainable. I like to think I have a pretty decent shot at acceptance.
-The Rose Hill campus is GORGEOUS. It's in the city, but it's green... best of both worlds.
-I'd be living on campus, but still close enough to home that my family won't be angry with me and homesickness wouldn't be an issue.
-Awesome academics! A good variety of programs, which is a plus for me, the undecided one.
-A pretty bright student body.
-Close to everything.
-10 mintues from Yankee Stadium. It doesn't get much better than that. =)</p>
<p>I've got such a crush on Swarthmore but I'm so afraid of the rejection...
but it seems to have a really great community of students and professors, and I'm definitely going to go for it even if there's an 82% chance I'll be kicked to the curb.</p>
<p>UBC--I was pretty sure I would accept Caltech's offer two years ago---then I decided I wanted to leave home and went to the University of Washington--beautiful...and then I visited Vancouver BC...</p>
<p>have you ever been to Vancouver BC????</p>
<p>UBC is so unbelievably beautiful it's actually ridiculous---</p>
<p>Very true, pre-application my obsession was Georgetown business school, now switched to University of Texas engineering, which I mentioned already.</p>
<p>I use to love UCLA so much but then my parents told me I had to go to college in state because they already paid for 2 years of college for an in state school so lately I've been in love with UVA!</p>
