Where should I go out of these 5?

College Search & Selection

<p>Here’s the list. In no order.</p>

<li>Michigan State</li>
<li>Loyola College in Maryland</li>
<li>Quinnipiac University</li>
<li>Stonehill College</li>
<li>Roger Williams University</li>
</ol>

<p>I’d be majoring in History at all but MSU, where I’d be majoring in Comparative Cultures and Politics at the James Madison Residential College.</p>

<p>Based on prestige, freshman retention rate, and just general personal opinions, where would you go and why?</p>

<p>I know I’ve posted before, but as it gets closer to May 1st my anxiety keeps getting to me and I am struggling to make a decision, help me out CC, just like you have before.</p>

<p>My personal opinion, my order would be

  1. Loyola College
  2. Michigan State
  3. Stonehill
  4. Quinnipiac
  5. Roger Williams
    Depending on scholarship money of course</p>

<p>My order would be:

  1. Michigan State University
  2. Loyola College
  3. Stonehill College
  4. Quinnipiac University
  5. RWU</p>

<p>MSU seems to have the “most” when it comes to college experiences out of your list, IMO. All of the schools on your list have good academics so that wouldn’t be a concern. Take cost and location into consideration.</p>

<p>Thanks, I appreciate your help. Any other opinions?</p>

<p>I really think Michigan State has the best reputation…a lot of people may not have even heard of the others. Though I didn’t end up applying to MSU, I looked closely at it, and from what I’ve heard, people really like JMU; it provides a close-knit community w/in the larger school. Plus, you have big-time sports and activities, so you shouldn’t ever get bored.</p>

<p>That’s my $.02, good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks! Is there any negativity to going to a public school over a private one?</p>

<p>Bigger classes…at UCLA I’ve had two with over 400 students. But there will be a LOT more to do than at smaller schools, and employers and whatnot will have immediate name-recognition. Big schools also tend to have more majors, study abroad programs, definitely a bigger sports scene (which will be fun, even if you don’t consider yourself a sports fan now…just wait)!</p>

<p>My cousin went to MSU and loved it. Then again, he ended up marrying someone who went to Michigan. I’m wondering who their kids will root for!</p>

12

<p>In my humble opinion…
Michigan
Loyola
Quinnipiac
Stonehill
RWU</p>

13

<p>Mich St.</p>

<p>they are a 2 seed.</p>

14

<p>So I should probably just take it that I should go to MSU haha</p>

<p>take strong consideration into quinnipiac, great school, the small private new engand schools really cant be compared to. small classes, beautiful campuses, great reps in new england. stonehills beautiful but quinnipiac has a better reputation. if money is not an issue i was strongly consider quinnipiac. RWU is nice but it is just not well known anywhere.</p>
