Which school? - Page 2

id just go to cornell, would look way better on your resume, even when you did squat there.

Donno · 05-20-2009, 01:34 AM

Virginia is a top school and is very nice, my cousin went there and I have nothing but good things about the campus life and the professors.

tjsunstein · 05-20-2009, 01:40 AM

So you're definitely in all of these schools? If so, easily Cornell.

SuperMcGee · 05-20-2009, 02:03 AM

Come to Buffalo State, we could hang.

While it might not be one of the most attractive options, I'm not surprised that it's there. Buffalo State has a very wide list of exchange schools, I'm looking into it myself. It's my hometown school and I've loved my two years there. Probably not something that you would come from Australia for, but if you had any interest then feel free to ask anything.

Sounds awesome 7-11. I too am looking at doing a semester abroad. These are my options.

Boston University.
California State University (Sacramento)
University of Central Missouri
Clarkson University
Hofstra University School of Law
Loyola University of Chicago
Miami University
Oregon St. University
Pace University
San Diego State University
San Francisco State University
The State University of New York at New Paltz
The University of Arizona
University of Colorado, Denver
University of Hawaii
University of Texas (El Paso and Austin)

Yeah i just asked about that because it seemed a little ridiculous that i could go to Cornell with my ****** credit average at even shittier Newcastle University. But from what i've been told if you're accepted into the program, and someone from the school you're applying to requests to come to Newcastle then it works. Just like a numbers thing. Problem being if someone with better grades chooses Cornell, they're likely to get the spot.

There's one major sticking point about this but, 6 months at one of these midwest schools is an awful long time to be away from the beach considering i'm there nearly every day. Makes Arizona a little more appealing, even if it isn't that close to surf breaks of any kind

And that list is why i should go to a bigger uni before i do this. where do you go again?
I would love to go to San Diego State for a semester.

Wow, there are tons of schools I could exchange with. Transferring to UNC for basketball season sounds like a great idea.

I cannot recommend OU enough based on what your goals are. One of the best party schools you will ever see. Its actually pretty incredible.

The main idea of this 6 month extravaganza is to get excessively drunk, scrape by and pass my classes and just enjoy 6 months of proper college life.

I agree with the above posters. If you are looking to get drunk and party, Ohio University has to be a top school for you. Ohio is the ******* king of halloween and there's so many bars and so many parties that it's just ridiculous. It's in the middle of nowhere though and the weather can DEFINITELY be better.

Arizona is another big party school and the weather should be great and the girls will be better than in Ohio, at least I'd hope so =p

I don't know whats important in a school for you, but if it were me, Uni of Hawaii number 1 choice. I'm actually thinking of applying there on my next go of school. I couldn't stress how much I'd take Denver off that list. **** that place. I spent 2 weeks there and hope I have have to go back. The absolute worst part is that my lips were chapped no matter how much chapstik I used and it was only spring.

UCSB might beat Ohio during halloween...

True that...the campus is gorgeous, but the town is extremely boring. I'm pretty happy I decided to go with OSU over OU. There is like a store and a bar in Athens and that is about it.

UW-Madison has both UCSB and Ohio DESTROYED when it comes to Halloween. On average, over 100,000 people from outside of the school show up for the party. It's really not even close.

Sniper · 05-20-2009, 08:41 AM

There is no valid reason to want to be in the state of Ohio. There are plenty of good schools on that list, so there's no reason you should go to Ohio.

drowe · 05-20-2009, 08:43 AM

do NOT go to UW-Platteville. it's 90% male and it's in the middle of nowhere.

UW Madison rules. such a fun city. and yes, nobody touches UW's halloween.

scottyboy · 05-20-2009, 08:57 AM

i know like 4 or 5 smokin' hot girls from my school going to Clemson. just saying...

iowatreat54 · 05-20-2009, 09:28 AM

If I had to vote for you, I'd prolly choose South Carolina. I've visited their campus once and it was pretty nice, plus it's in South Carolina, and bonus points for tons of hot girls. Add in SEC football, and it looks very good.
(I'm assuming you are applying for the Fall?)

Other than that, I can tell you if you choose anywhere in the state of Iowa, it has to be Iowa. Northern Iowa and Iowa St. are worthless. As for Iowa St., their campus is terrible, I'm not sure their business school is anything more than highschool classes, and they have absolutely nothing to offer outside of academics. Western Michigan has a fairly recognized business school, pretty much anyone that goes there it's prolly for business. But their campus isn't great.

IMO, and no offense to the smaller schools listed, if you want the real taste of American college life and partying, you have to choose a big school like South Carolina, Iowa, Arizona, Virginia Tech, etc.

I concur with this.

If you didn't add your edited part 7-11, I would say 100% go to Wisconsin. It is the best party school in the Big XI, has great athletics usually, good academics but not too hard, and a lot of gorgeous girls.

JF4 · 05-20-2009, 10:47 AM

You Aussie's shouldn't count out Canadian schools as possible options.

You will end up saving a ton of cash if you did that and I know we can party just as hard as some of those American schools.

Guelph, Queens, UBC, Western, Ottawa, McGill...Just a few schools up here that are pretty boss.

EDIT: Didn't see the part about financial issues. But still....

senormysterioso · 05-20-2009, 11:40 AM

I went to UW Platteville...cross it off your list, trust me

Vikes99ej · 05-20-2009, 12:23 PM

I'd say go for Juniata College, just because the name reminds me of Mexican food, something I haven't had in a while.

Staubach12 · 05-20-2009, 12:27 PM

Arizona dude. I've heard that school is hella fun.

As have I because I have friends there.

Northern Arizona is nice all year with snow, but not a lot to do there when I visited this winter.

If you want parties and hot girls, Arizona State.

I am in a similar situation once I start applying after my community college days.

Smokey Joe · 05-20-2009, 12:47 PM

I've heard Iowa is pretty fun. Never been, but have friends who will be attending there next year, and have had good times on their visits.
