<p>I live in Louisiana, and do not want to go college anywhere near here. My safeties I guess would be Fordham, St. Johns (New York), Adelphi, and I’ll be applying to LSU which I am auto-accepted into and I’ll already be a student at the Univ of Louisiana at Lafayette (It would be basically free tuition and LSU as well), and won’t have to apply. But I strongly dislike those schools… so that’s why I’m on here to learn about some potential safety schools in the areas where I’d like to live. Cost is definitely an issue, that’s why I am trying to apply to schools that will give me some good scholarship offers. I only know of big name schools really, and am trying to find out how to balance my list.</p>
