what did you like and not like about it? More of my effort in helping my niece pick a school.
Thanks for your help!

Went to Rutgers-Newark, graduated 1990...journalism major. I felt I got a solid education there and loved working on the school paper. I liked commuting since I had stayed on-campus my freshman year at Montclair State. I didn't like the "not-so-safe" feeling if you wandered away from campus.

What area is she looking in?

 

[Wagamama]

I went to Mount Ida College and graduated in may. It was an ok school..depends what major she is interested in. BU is great, and thats probably where I'll be getting my Masters.

I would never go to school any place but the N.E. Particularly New England.
Why? You have gorgeous scenery, proximity to major cities, and top notch programs at very competitive schools.

NJ, NY, PA and Providence College in RI.

Providence college is a great small Catholic school. About 1/4 of my high school went there. I am transferring to their evening division in the spring.

If she is looking into liberal arts or humanities, that's the place to go.
Another great school is Wheaton College.

What does she want to major in? Lots of great colleges in Massachusetts. DH went to Harvard for a bit and I was at Northeastern - at their evening suburban locations.

I attended Bryn Mawr College. There are many schools in that area to choose from. Check your PM's.

I went to Ithaca College and my brother went to Cornell which is also in Ithaca, NY.

I went to Boston College. (Go Eagles!) We're a BC family....my dad taught accounting there for over 50 years...so one of the advantages for me was the tuition remission for children of employees . Great suburban campus on the edge of Boston, something for just about everyone academically and socially. If there was a down side for me, it was the size......coming from a 150 member HS graduating class it was an adjustment, but college is an adjustment anyway. The other down side for me personally was that I commuted.....and didn't really get into the campus social scene since I lived about 15 miles away and worked about 20 hours a week. BC's popularity has increased tremendously since my graduation in 1979, making admission very competetive.....

I'm gearing up to help DD with her search next year........she's looking for a small-medium sized school in New England with a strong program in biological schiences........so I'll be peaking in at other answers to your post

Salisbury University for me. It was my hometown school. If you are interested in more info, PM me and I will be glad to help.

I graduated from NYU in 1986. I loved that I lived in Greenwich Village, and I didn't even mind that I had to share a one bedroom walkup with 5 other people for 4 years in order to go there. As an art major, the experience of living in Washington Square among artists and writers was umatched, and even though I just got done payoing off loans about 4 years ago, I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.

I got my masters degree at Pratt Institute, in Brooklyn. There is no better school for someone interested in an advanced degree in fine arts or architecture. It cost me an arm and a leg, as I paid for my entire education myself through school loans, but it paid off in the long run.
