Well I JUST got back from Virginia. I've traveled 1880 miles to look at four colleges during my fall break. I was kinda hoping that I wouldn't like some of the schools that I visited so that I could narrow down my list of colleges to apply to... but no. I like all four of them! The first one I visited was University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, VA. I liked it alot (small public residential). The second was George Mason University in Fairfax, VA. It was pretty cool (big public commuter school but with a nice feeling). The third was University of Virginia (UVA) in Charletsville, VA. You'd be crazy to not want to go here! Last on the trip was James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA. After giving it a second chance I think I really like it (big public semi-residential). So now that I've decided that I MUST scratch some schools off the list... it looks like Furman University and College of Charleston will get the boot. Now lets review the current list in random order (subject to change at any moment):
1. Appalachian State University in Boone, NC
2. Belmont University in Nashville, TN
3. James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA
4. UVA in Charletsville, VA
5. University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, VA
6. George Mason University in Fairfax, VA
7. Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA
8. University of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA
