I am trying to find the right school for me. Im a quiet girl who wants a challenging education (in a school that i can get into with my average grades) away from home (im from mass.). I have taken all college prep classes though out high school and one AP course. My GPA is a 3.5, SAT score 1550, ACT score 19.
What i am looking for in a school is; psycology major, plenty of art courses, and diverse campus and area (this refures to religious, race, general backround, ect.).
I tend to like liberal arts universities, but will look into any suggestions. One school that i have come across and have fallen in love with is Oberlin College in Ohio. Unfortunatly i dont seem to match up to their acceptance requirements, so am trying to find some more schools i would feel natural and happy attending.

Any and all suggestions welcome. I truely appriciate your imput. Thank you!

So are you willing to live in any state or prefer the East coast? It will mainly depend on your budget and what type of you school you want - most liberal arts schools will have a decent psychology program so you should decide if you want a small or big school and if the surrounding area and extracurricular activities matter a lot to you.

Also you shouldn't dismiss schools if you seem to not qualify - a lot of schools say they have strict requirements but will still accept a variety of students. It's better to spend some extra money applying to more schools than regretting not having more choices later on.

P.S. you can browse college student reviews here:

I am not partcial to east coast, anywhere is fine, although i do prefer warmer weather i won't put aside a school because i this. Also as long as the college has more than say 5,000 students i will be satisfied. Price wise, preferable under 30,000.
Mainly im looking for diversity, which usally comes with some type of surrounding city. I have only lived in a small rural town so i dontknow what it would be like to live in a city entirely, but i do think i would be happy in a moderately urban area.
And I do want to join some interesting clubs. i dont participate in any after school activies, now in high school, so im hoping this will be a good way for me to meet plenty of new people and broaden my abilities. I kind of like the idea of joining a rock climbing, subadiving, surfing, yoga, or cooking club. (i wouldnt eliminate the school for not having these clubs though.)

And thank you for your advice!

Always consider your passion and a nice school that you think that you will enjoy the quality of education and the people too. You can also browse the internet for schools that you might like for some extra curricular activities.
