I dont really know. I dont know what to specialize in. Molecular biology and genetics are my favorite....but they are the best bio school in the country so I dont think I could take it....my friend got into their Biomedical engineering program, their hardest program to get into. pretty impressive.

Obviously I can't take it lightly, and I know many people who dont like where they are going, and I dont want that to happen to me. If any of you go to these colleges, went to these colleges, know anyone who goes there, please let me know what you think. I'm not asking you to make the decision for me, I'm just asking for facts, such as: music scene, education, transportation, community, etc. Of course I asked these questions when I visisted these colleges (I visited them all) but of course the college is going to give you a bias answer. Be honest.

Here are my choices, I applied to them, and got into all of them.

James Madison University
+ I loved the campus.
+ I loved the surrounding community and environment.
+ Their education looks promising, and I know a few people who go there and they love it.
+a brand new chemistry building, and a nice bio building
- 5 hours away
- no public transportation home

Marist College
+ Nice campus
+ On Hudson River (nice atmosphere)
+ really nice buildings (especially their library)
+ Only 2 hours away, with a lot of transportation
+ Good education, and a well known name
- Poughkeepsie NY is a slum, or so im told
- Its mainly a liberal arts school, im going into biology

I also got into Marywood University and Binghamton University, but those are safeties. I havent recieved a response from American Univesity, but I'm fairly confident in the response. Thats up there with JMU and Marist.

I applied to UPenn, and they called for an interview...So thats a good sign I guess. They are at least considering me. I dont want to go there though.

Not sure about others, but I live in poughkeepsie lol.... The town of Poughkeepsie aint that bad, depending on where you live, but IMHO the city of Poughkeepsie is crap. I have friends that go there, and most of them are satisifed... But it is a lib arts school like you said, so I wouldn't go there if I wanted to major in biology. Personally, I wouldn't attend Marist, theres not a lot to do in the town/city of poughkeepsie, since they are both fairly small...but thats the only college that I really have personal experience with/that my friends go to.

thats probs just the in-state tuition too, i bet out of state is ridiculous

and if you do get into upenn and dont go there, i will find you and burn you, i would have killed to get into wharton there...

and coleman is right about small campuses, i mean you wanna be sure that you go somewhere that people have heard of, JMU is fine and ive also heard of marist, but i wouldnt mess with anything smaller

It's not in a state, it's in DC so the price doesn't change.

I have a friend who lives in DC and she gets in state tuition anywhere since she technically isn't in a state.
