<p>There are a lot of colleges I wouldn’t go to.
I don’t want a school that is religiously affiliated.
I don’t want to go somewhere that will put me into debt (unless it was a prestigious college where I’m almost guaranteed a great job afterwards).
I don’t want to go OOS (because I live in California, why would you want to leave? lol)</p>
<p>More specifically, I don’t want to go to UC Santa Cruz because I hate camping (if you’ve ever visited, you know what I mean. I don’t care how “beautiful” it is, I don’t need a deer walking me to class).
And I don’t want to go to a CSU (except maybe Cal Poly SLO and CSULB).
And even though Cal Poly SLO is a great engineering school, I kinda don’t wanna go there because it’s like, a half hour away from where I’ve lived all my life.

<p>If you see the list other people wrote, you laugh. I would like to ask: For those who wouldn’t go to a religiously affiliated school, does that include a school that is affiliated with your own religion?</p>
<p>I know but that person said “am i picky” And no offense to some of you guys, but she is certainly not when you look at some people. My point, lol.</p>
<p>Oh yea, it’s insane to have that amount of specific hatred. Sure, there might be only a dozen or so schools I want to go to, but I could accept going to many, many others.</p>
<p>I agree with kameron. I mean I couldn’t put down more than 10 schools and there are thousands of schools out there, which aren’t even mentioned on CC. Also, if you don’t like a school explain your reasoning’s. This way it doesn’t look that you don’t like a school for no reason.</p>
<p>I would never go to an isolated and small LAC in the middle of nowhere like Colgate, Kenyon etc … I would feel like I am…well, in the middle of nowhere!</p>
<p>I would never go to Notre Dame either… CNN’s John King interviewed a college graduate who was protesting Obama’s visit and she said “catholic” & “catholic identity” about 200 times in just 5 minutes!
I am not a fan of religiously affiliated schools.</p>
<p>You people who keep saying you won’t go to your state’s flagship university because a large number of students from your high school are going there and it’ll be “just like high school” - you do realize that these schools generally have tens of thousands of students from all over and that the 40-50 people who maybe be going there from your high school will be swallowed up in that great crowd, and that you will only see them if you want to, right? And that it will be <em>nothing</em> like high school?</p>
<p>You really don’t think that some flagship universities aren’t like high school 2.0? You must be kidding me. It’s more than just about the students you go with. First of all, flagship universities take students from all walks of life, and for most states, they aren’t the best and the brightest. So you have the generally smart kids and you have the kids who are there to party/just get through it (reminiscent of high school). You usually have large classes with professors that are otherwise concerned or uncaring, plus students that skip classes (definitely like high school). Then you have the very strict distribution requirements (sound familiar? two years of English, two years of math, two years of a foreign language…). Etc. etc. Obviously not every state flagship is like this, but boy, I can think of a few (my own College Park and eve UMBC being prime examples).</p>
