ATTN: Need some help from the US citizens.

[404 Not Found]

personally, I would have looked at a few other schools that are not in bad areas as well as have a diverse racial curriculum.

Princeton
Drexel University
University of Delaware
Maryland
UMass
Villanova
George Washington
American Univ.
UConn
Syracuse Univ.
Northwestern
Case Western Reserve University
Colgate
University of Vermont


Tons of schools to pic from Gal...depends on the affiliation your school may have with U.S. schools as well as courses of study/major.

Knowing that the schools in Europe are probably much more difficult study and content wise, go for Brown University, U of P, Yale, Columbia Univ., Harvard, Lehigh University.

BTW...how did you come up with the list of schools you noted?

On the East Coast of the U.S., I personally avoid anything below the Mason-Dixon line, unless in the D.C. area. Jails in VA suck!

I got to Purdue... Ball state is kinda the school everyone goes to if they can't get into Purdue/IU. I think its good for a few departments but for the most part not as good educationally. The parties and all are the same as everywhere else.

If you go there hit me up, I'll come down from Purdue to visit.

(note, I can only choose Universities on this list: Universities, so suggesting others would be nice, but I cant apply to those)

Check this line people, I am going through ISEP (International Student Exchange Program) and they have 100 Universities in America open for me to apply to. The program works as a closed exchange program, so I can only be placed at a University (from that list) if someone from that University goes to Europe. So that's why I have to pick 10 Universities in order where I want to go too. They will try to place me with my first choice, else second, et cetera, et cetera.

So yeah, Harvard, Yale, et cetera are nice but not in the ISEP program. I don't have to pay for any school though, I just pay the tuition for my school for the full year and everything else is covered.

And UNCA is part of a consortium, and depending on course availabillity they can place me at any other Universities within that consortium (being all the other UNC and a couple of others). But I will check it out.

Edit: 404, you really should gimme an email or something!

If you can apply to SCSU, why not any other community schools in CT. If you care to look into it, check out Eastern CT. Far better program and much less likely that you will be held down and raped by Mr. Mustafalese on your way to class. Also not in the ghetto like Southern is.

Read his whole original post.
In my opinion SCSU has the best business program of the CT state schools.
SCSU is not a community college.

I cant help you with any of the schools you listed since those are all East and I'm West coast, but I can give you a very good site to check out:

It just published the 2008 list of "best colleges in the US." What's nice is it gives scores based on what students say, so hopefully you will get a nice idea. Here are two blurbs on what it says about Elmhurst, for example (make sure after you search for a school you click "what students say" on the far left):

Student Body
Most of the students at Elmhurst College are "from the suburbs of Chicago and are somewhat stereotypically suburban." "Half of the school lives on campus, the other half of the school commutes," one undergrad observes, adding that "it is hard to get involved in clubs and organizations if you are a commuter because none of the events or activities occurs during the daytime." Residents, on the other hand, "are very involved in organizations, such as athletics, Greek life and student government." Most are also "concerned about their schoolwork" and "where their lives are going." The ratio of women to men here is nearly two to one.

Campus Life
Students agree that Elmhurst's location is optimal. Downtown Elmhurst offers "nice restaurants, a movie theater, bowling lanes, and just casual places to pass time," while nearby Chicago provides "a lot of advantages job-wise and entertainment-wise." As one undergrad observes, "We're close enough to Chicago for cultural and educational purposes but far enough away that crime is not a real threat." Then there's the "beautiful" campus, "a registered arboretum" with "many varieties of trees and bushes." The campus is "simply gorgeous with lots of cute squirrels hopping around. In the center of campus is a big green grassy area called The Mall, and students hang out there during the warmer months." Students love how "The buildings of the campus are all close, so no matter how bad the parking is, you'll never have to walk very far." That's especially important during the long, cold winters here. Athletics are huge and almost 60 percent of incoming freshman males are athletes. Extracurricular clubs and organizations are also popular, at least among the resident population. Some commuters complain that they need access to "more activities."

So I am applying to go to the US for 1 semester, this would be January to May 2009. And as a part of the application I have to list roughly 10 Universities I would like to go too. This because they cant guarantee a placement with your number one choice. Anyway I am looking at the following Universities:

Elmhurst College Illinois
Edgewood College Wisconsin
Roanoke College Virginia
Virginia Tech
West Virginia University
Butler University Indiana
Ball State University Indiana
Southern Connecticut State University
Mars Hill College North Carolina
Eckerd College Florida

And I was wondering if you guys/girls could give me some feedback on these (distort on VT?), what are positive points, what are negative points, what about the surroundings/area, are any of these really religious (as in everyone attends the college church on Sunday, bible reading before class, etc.) how are the facilities, how is the reputation education wise. Anything you guys/girls could give me about these Universities would be awesome. Seeing as I also have to write a whole 'Why I want to go there' essay for each separate University.

My main focus is on Business, but I can basically take any course I want. I will mainly focus on Business though, with possibly 1 or 2 psychology classes.

(note, I can only choose Universities on this list: Universities, so suggesting others would be nice, but I cant apply to those)

btw why are asking distort about VT if its not on the list stop contradicting yourself !

Virginia Tech was on the news lots before, so that must mean its a good place to go.
