<p>I will NOT go to any school in my state besides Oklahoma State U and Tulsa. Everything else in Oklahoma would kill me.</p>
<p>Trinity (CT) - so many kids from boarding school go there, and they’re the last people I ever want to see again after grad.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t go to most private schools - I’m not applying to any, in fact - because I can’t deal with rich kids. I’m not trying to stereotype, but obviously more expensive tuition is going to mean richer students, even though there are many other factors there.</p>
<p>Anywhere small. Anywhere that doesn’t have a DI football team. Anywhere cold.</p>
<p>Any college in New Jersey, just because I want to get out of my home state.</p>
<p>Nowhere ridiculously hot, like Arizona or New Mexico or even Texas and Florida. Nowhere like Alabama, Mississippi or even Louisiana. </p>
<p>Nothing too math and science-y, nothing too, too liberal, nowhere too small (less than 5,000) or too big (30,000+), a place where there is a big variety of classes and a lot of diversity of campus.
I also wouldn’t like to go to a terribly unknown place; or a school with no social life and or parties. And not a commuter school, or where grads > undergrads. </p>
<p>That’s basically all. :)</p>
<p>Yale. If I could get in there, I could get in lots of other colleges that aren’t in a slum and have good academics, a pretty campus, better sports, and/or less-pretentious students.</p>
<p>Deep Springs…</p>
<p>I’d never go to any schools in rural areas, but I also wouldn’t go to any schools that are infamous for heavy activism (i.e. Berkeley).</p>
<p>I would not go to a college that is in a rural place, or just in any place where there isnt a big city nearby. I would like to be <em>near</em> NYC, Boston, etc. However that doesn’t mean I would go to any school in those cities. NYU I would not go to due to the horrible aid. I applied and they only gave me a small scholarship amount. I would also not like to go to a school where the gender ratio is totally screwed (like 80:20 guys:girls) or where its not diverse.</p>
<p>Trinity, Williams, Bowdoin, Bates, Hamilton, Colby, other LACS - too many kids from my boarding school go to LACs, and they’re too small for me!</p>
<p>UMass Amherst and Framingham State, honestly it’d be like going to an extension of high school with all the kids from my school that go there.</p>
<p>I love how Henry David Thoreau, the ULTIMATE noncomfortist, attended Harvard and some of you would turn it down because you’re noncomfortists… Ohh the irony. Interesting bit of history: When Thoreau attended Harvard, the required wardrobe included a black cloak, yet Thoreau, being a noncomfortist, only wore a green cloak.</p>
<p>I would never wanna go to University of Washington (Seattle), because it’s ridiculously easy for my country people to get in there and that’s why they have hundreds of them there.</p>
<p>I would never go to a HUGE school, especially UT or Texas A&M. They’re in my home state and SO many people go there. (We just got the list of acceptances from the most recently graduated class of seniors at my high school, and out of a class of 208, 86 were accepted to A&M and ~67 were accepted to at least one of the UT campuses.) These schools have ridiculously large student bodies, somewhere between 30k-50k students. I know that for me, personally, I would never be able to survive in an environment like that with so little personal attention. I would just disappear and coalesce into the masses.</p>
<p>*nonconformist. Sorry, it was like 2 AM lol.</p>
<p>Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Western Michigan, Grand Valley State…all the colleges in my state that slacker kids from my school go to.</p>
<p>I would NEVER go to UC Berkeley. The campus is really ugly (and messy!) the weathers bad, there’s trash and homeless people all over… Should I go on? Plus it’s overrated and everybody gets in… If not as a freshmen, then eventually!</p>
<p>University of Alabama, Auburn University, every school in Alabama. I’m ready to leave my state and the flagships are big party schools.</p>
<p>UC Riverside or UC Mercerd.</p>
<p>This post is so old</p>
<p>@ “applicannot” & “juaneatspanda” - I do not know of any explicitly Universalist-Unitarian colleges, but the Society of Friends (aka. Quakers) have a very compatible ethos, and there are numerous Quaker colleges (e.g. Swarthmore, Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Earlham, Guilford, et al).</p>
<p>Notre Dame - known for nothing except football (mediocre football at that) and intolerance.</p>
