Where should I go next spring?
I'm definitely going to do the national student exchange next spring so I'll finally get out of this state for a semester. Not that I haven't had a blast at Uconn this semester but the cold weather's gotta go. So now I just need to decide which school -
LSU
In the heart of the South, people are friendly, one of the biggest party schools in the country, New Orleans and Mardi Gras are only an hour away. 52% female, 12% out of state, 23% on campus. "most students on the LSU campus look alike and are from similar backgrounds: white, upper-middle class, blond hair (girls), shaggy haircuts (boys), brand-name clothes, and generally conservative in their religious, political, and social values."
University of South Carolina
Go cocks! Very southern school, great college town atmosphere ... 54% female, 12% out-of-state, 40% on campus, the most of any school on my list. Another very big party school. "The typical student is "polite, courteous, holds doors, [and] smiles when a stranger walks by." Yes, chivalry is alive and well at USC, where "southern hospitality prevails."
University of West Florida
In Pensacola, FL - Very close to the beaches, very nice campus, even a swimming pool at one of the dorms. Laid back environment. 59% female, 13% out of state, 16% on campus. Very cool marketing program, a few e-commerce courses that I would want to take. Not a horrible drive to Mardi Gras either. When I think of Florida, I think of a semester long vacation.
California State - Northridge
I was watching the beginning of OC and hearing that "California here I come" song and seeing those beautiful houses and beaches almost made me cry. Northridge is in Orange County, right outside of L.A, Hollywood, Santa Monica, Laguna Beach, etc. A couple hours drive to Santa Barbara or San Diego, a few hours to Las Vegas. Great location. But the school itself has less of a campus life than the other schools on my list. 57% female, only 1% out of state, and 8% on campus.
The other schools on my original list - Tennessee and Georgia and Arizona - all great schools but they wouldn't let me take business classes there so that's why they got scratched. But that's all for the better - I need to narrow it down.
