I live right outside Ann Arbor and am considering going to the university of michigan. The problem is that i dont really want to go there that much because i will basically be living in the same place i live now. will it be different when i go to college? also, is this a good school to go to? i dont mean ranking wise, i know its a good school, but how do people who go there like it? thanks so much!

U of M is one of the best universities in the world, I traveled pretty far to get to Ann Arbor and it has been the best time of my life. It does depend on what you are looking for in a university, if you want great academics, a very cool social life and the best sports this is the place to go.. if you let things like weather determine where you go.. then good luck, I hear SEC schools are a good place to waste 4 years

It has a good reputation, especially if you are a devout Catholic.  It's not much of a party school, and the Portuguese-language community in New York is not enormous.  But New York is very expensive.  You might also look into the similar Marquette University, in Milwaukee; similar climate, but much less expensive (in a smaller city, but close to Chicago).

I don't know anything about Norwich but I do know that it all depends on how big the college is.  I go to a small religious school and I know that it reminds me of high school.  The teachers are great because they don't have 100 students to take care of so they can spend more time with you.  If you're looking for something a little more privet where only a small group of people knows you then you should probably go to a bigger school.

Don't go to St. Leo but I can tell you that any university there will be nice and not so nice people. There is so much stuff to do at a college campus...you will be so amazed. It's great. Anything you think you may be interested in...they have a group for itand a bunch of people in them. Do you have an email address with St. Leo yet?...If you do, you can sign up on Facebook and meet tons of people, maybe even someone from your highschool is going there and you don't know it!

It does. You generally should go with the best school you are accepted to. I would say go for GW - if you don't get an assistantship there are a million opportunities in DC to get internships, part-time jobs, etc. It is an expensive place to live though.

It can be.  Depends what you are looking for.  Some want big city, small city, suburban, small town, etc.  \nNYU does not have that much of a campus feel because it is smack in the middle of the city, and students live all over the place, with even some dorms miles from the main campus area.  \nBut, if you want to be in the big city, especially if you want to study the arts or business, it could be the place for you.\nI find that people appreciate grad school there more than undergrad.

As demonstrated above, you probably won't find any answers here.  But here's the site to go to:\n\nwww.collegeconfidential.com\n\nJust do a search on St. Olaf, and there will be discussion lists that are visited by alums, current students, and incoming students.  \n\nBest wishes!

Wow...so many issues to consider.\n\nI wish I knew what you were studying, and where you are coming from.\n\nOK, I have never heard of New Jersey Inst. of Tech., so I can't say much about it.  It appears to be a good school, but I'm surprised I don't know more about it. \n\nUniv. of Michigan is very highly respected university, but the Dearborn branch is not the one that is known.  This may not be bad, but it isn't ideal either.  Also, Michigan is very cold in winter.\n\nUniv. of Alabama, Huntsville is not very well known in most of the nation, but has some very strong technical programs, especially in engineering.  The area is a small city in a rural area, and it not usually seen as a very diverse area.  However, in general, I'd say that the people there are generally more friendly than in the other places listed.  Plus the weather is much nicer.\n\nGood luck to you whichever you choose.

it is not too competitive, and not that great of a school. IT is a working adult college mostly. But I am sure, once you get a MBA...there are still going to be some job opportunities present. Although, you might have a hard time getting into a job fast due to other better schools offering that program.

It's a matter of personal preference. If you want to go away for the experience or to a particular college away from home then you should go for it. On the other hand if it really doesn't matter, some colleges closer to home can be less expensive. Either way you're starting a new journey and hopefully you'll get the most out of it.

If you mean Towson College outside of Baltimore.  It is in Maryland not Virginia.  I don't go there but it is a good school.

Because of the way that you sound, you don't seem to be completely academics, and it sounds like you would want to go to college and that you should have extracurriculars if you want to go to college, so i'd go to Panther Creek.  Sometimes when your gut tells you something, it's just hungry.  if some1 else gives you a better answer gl at your new school.

I can't really comment on your program content, but in my own personal experience I know I am happier living without a commute and being close to my school.  I just switched back to an MA program at SJSU and love being close to campus and downtown.  Less time commuting means more study and fun time!  And less gas and wear on your car.

I always recommend living on campus in a dorm for at least a year.  It's a great way to meet and make friends, and get involved.  I transferred into my university last year and lived in the dorms, and it was a great experience.  My roommate and I got along, and we knew when to give each other space.  Although we didn't become best friends, we still developed a good relationship.  I still keep in touch with her now.  This past year I lived in an apartment with another girl, whom I didn't really know that well.  It also turned out to be a positive experience.  You can also take out loans to live off campus in an apartment, in which I did.  It's also much cheaper to live off campus, but at the same time, living in a dorm, all your meals are provided and cooked for you.  Just remember, your college experience all depends on how much you are willing to put yourself out there, be positive and outgoing and try to put forh effort in getting involved with activities and organizations on campus.  There is so much to do, and it's some of the best year of your life.  Meeting new people from all different backgrounds and upbringings is one of the best ways to learn and open your mind to differences in yourself and what you already know.  Good luck in whatever you choose!

check out the website for the University of Illinois in Champaign or Chicago. It is an excellent school with lots of prestige, yet not as pricey as some. Champaign is a good one because the town is not real large, yet it's a wonderful town. www.uiuc.edu

I was born in St. Pete, and raised there till I was 18. Then I moved to Michigan. I think that we are friendly and considerate people. From what I've heard St. Pete isn't what it use to be 10 years ago, but then again everything and everyone changes!
