suggestions for college visits?
my assignment for break is to come up with a list of colleges i want to visit. i have some in mind, but i’m not sure which ones i want to visit. based on my credentials are there any colleges you would suggest to take a look at? i’d prefer if they were in either the midwest or east coast.
i would prefer a medium sized school. i would love it if the school had division 1 men’s football and/or basketball teams where all of the students were really into going to the games. i also want it to be academic though.
