I studied zoology at Bristol, it's really good.  You get half price entry to the zoo!!  Seriously, the course is quite broad and very similar to biology, except you don't have to study plants.  There's excellent fieldwork as well and you learn lots about evolution, ecology, conservation, genetics.  Some uni's let you choose the modules you want to do so you can leave out the boring ones!\nGood luck!

New York...  Columbia, and Cornell\n\n1. Brown University - Providence, Rhode Island\n2. Columbia University - New York, New York.\n3. Cornell University - Ithaca, New York\n4. Dartmouth College - Hanover, New Hampshire\n5. Harvard University - Cambridge, Massachusetts.\n6. Princeton University - Princeton, New Jersey\n7. University of Pennsylvania - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania \n8. Yale University - New Haven, Connecticut.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_League\n\nFor the guy at the bottom of the board, Providence is not in New York.

Both my cousins went there for teaching.  Been there once, its a very nice place to live.  Its a college town though.  But its nice.  And Eastern is a very good school.  Are you going for teaching? Lots of restaurants and such.

yes, get out of Ithaca, that place is aweful.  But...if you have no choice...Ithaca and Cortland college are in the area, there might be some life left in the area during the summer months.  My recommendations, bring a car and head to Syracuse on the weekends, or bring a couple girls out to the Finger Lakes area, they have some awesome wine vinyards out there.  Either way, hope you find some more people like yourself who are stuck on campus, I have a feeling most of the people that will be there over the summer are commuters.  good luck.

According to my source (which cites the US News and World Report college and university survey) the most selective zoology programs are found at Harvard, University of MIchigan - Ann Arbor, and BYU-Provo.  \n\nI'd go for UM-Ann Arbor, personally -- it's more affordable than Harvard, and Michigan is mroe fun than Utah.  :)

Pennsylvannia is considered the Northeast.\n\nIf you are willing to go that far, Edinboro University of PA is a great small school, aprox. 6-8 thousand students.\nDecent football team & a great variety of majors and students.

Middlebury and Bennington are the best colleges in Vermont.\nBoth are highly selective, and applicants should be in the top tenth of their class, have outstanding SAT scores and GPAs, superb letters of recommendation, and special qualities or skills that set them apart from the crowd.\n\nUVM (University of Vermont) is also a great school, and while still selective in terms of admission, will admit students with slightly lower GPAs and SATs.\n\nBest wishes to your niece.
