<p>UAA or UAF would be my first choice.</p>
<p>UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>I am surprised not many people have mentioned UT-Austin or UNC-Chapel Hill. Along with Cal, Michigan and UVa, they are among the most complete universities. Great campuses, awesome schools spirit, active alums, excellent academics etc...</p>
<p>Well, personally, if I were applying to colleges as an undergrad, UTexas would be my very last choice. But that's just me for my own reasons. Others would like it there a great deal.</p>
<p>i'd be between UVA, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Pitt.</p>
<p>UVA, Michigan, Berkeley, or UNC.</p>
<p>That's KU, Kansas University in Lawrence. Don't know why midwestern schools identify themselves differently from the crowd, as opposed to "University of...."</p>
<p>Kansas University
Ohio University
Indiana University</p>
<p>Wisconsin, UNC, Texas, Boulder, UCB.</p>
<p>William & Mary for a true Public Ivy experience. Cal has a great intellectual feel. UVirginia/UNorth Carolina for the more traditional college experience(sports/frats etc..)</p>
<p>On quibble, while KU goes by those initials, the official name is The University of Kansas. </p>

<li>Michigan- I plan on applying</li>
<li>Maryland</li>
<li>Wisconsin-Madison</li>
<li>Everyone else</li>
</ol>
<p>Ohio State (Go Bucks!) - I've loved the football team all my life. Considering I am in state, this was obviously going to be a safety school for me from day 1.</p>
<p>University of Maryland
UC: Berkeley
Georgia Tech</p>
<p>EVERYONE LOVES PENN STATE... PENN STATE... PENN STATE... PENN STATE... PENN STATE... </p>
<p>NO ONE ELSE BUT PENN STATE.</p>
<p>(sorry for the screaming!)</p>
<p>LOL! Is your kid a fencer on the Penn State team? If so, I'm impressed. Tough to fence there. I know two kids on the team.</p>
<p>YA PENN STATE!! !!!! I transferred from Texas (Austin) to Penn State.... but I love Texas too :)</p>
<p>Both great schools</p>
<p>When I was in highschool I applied to Berkeley because I liked the Asian student ratio:) Compared to that, UVa was lacking in diversity at least when I visited, but I am inclined to think that these two are my favorite state schools.</p>
<p>UC Berkeley, New College of Florida, Evergreen State College</p>
<p>If it wasn't more expensive than UM, UW. (instate at UM)</p>
<p>UVa and UWisconsin are my top 2, but some privates rank higher, and costs make UMich and others more logical options.</p>
<p>UNC.</p>
<p>I'm instate for UNC, so....yeah.</p>
<p>I'd vote for UT-Austin. As far as the UC system, UCLA and UCSB, but most definitely not Hippieville Cal.</p>
