<p>Hi, I'm currently unhappy where I go to school. And it doesn't really support the major I am now interested in. However I want to be in a good location as well. What are some places with some nice locations (except California).</p>
<p>Some notes - I'd like to try out a city setting, maybe big town too but no small town stuff. And yeah I'd like some stuff to do like nightlife things.</p>
<p>Thanks. :)</p>
<p>Nobody? :(</p>
<p>What major are you interested in? More specifics could probably get some more responses if we know what type of school you're interested in. There are lots of big towns/city settings with nightlife around. :)</p>
<p>Could you be A LOT more specific? For example:</p>
<p>1) Where are you now? </p>
<p>2) What is your major? </p>
<p>3) What is your GPA? </p>
<p>4) Any financial restrictions we should be aware of?</p>
<p>The greater Boston metro area has a ton of colleges and universities and is considered highly desirable in terms of quality of life. These are ranked in the top 50 per US News:
Harvard, MIT, Brandeis, Boston College, Wellesley, Holy Cross, Tufts</p>
<p>Boston can be a terrific town for college students. Lots of great colleges to choose from and a young, diverse crowd of people to meet and hang out with and a huge assortment of attractions to experience. </p>
<p>I also like Washington, DC. Again, lots of colleges up and down the selectivity scale and a local scene that is very energizing for young people. </p>
<p>There are a lot of college choices in the Philadelphia area, but the local flavor is different (and IMO, much more parochial) than what you'd get in Boston or DC. </p>
<p>Not a big fan of colleges in NYC as the city overwhelms the college experience. You can live in a city setting for the rest of your life, but you can only be in a college setting for a few years. Thus, my suggestion is for campuses that are physically distinct, with elements that you personally find attractive and which are close to the types of nightlife that you enjoy.</p>
<p>Sounds like a no-brainer to me: New York, New York!</p>
<p>The big northeastern corridor cities are great and offer (relatively) easy access to one another</p>
<p>-Washington DC
-Baltimore (ehhh)
-Philadelphia
-New York City
-Providence
-Boston</p>
<p>Nashville is an amazing city and has Vanderbilt and Belmont, plus some others.</p>
<p>Anywhere on the opposite side of the Country from where you've lived most or all of your life.</p>
<p>Boston
Chicago
Washington DC
New York
San Francisco
Austin</p>
<p>I agree with that list, except with Providence... Providence only has Brown, RISD, and Providence College =/</p>
<p>Wow thanks for the responses guys.</p>
<p>Could you be A LOT more specific? For example:</p>
<p>1) Where are you now? CSU - Pueblo</p>
<p>2) What is your major? I want to pursue my dream of opening up my own animation studio.</p>
<p>3) What is your GPA? High School was only like 2.6. Though for college (for Freshman Year Semester 1) it's a 3.111.</p>
<p>4) Any financial restrictions we should be aware of? I don't want to pay more then 20k.</p>
<p>new orleans. i'm in love with that city.</p>
<p>Anyone else?</p>
<p>Madison, Wisconsin is a fantastic college town. Also pretty underrated.</p>
<p>Most people are suggesting cold weather locales. If that's not your thing, and you actually like the sunshine and walking to class in shorts in the winter, consider Gainesville.</p>
