my feelings on here are sketchy as I have not visited. Is definitely behind Miami and Florida, but could potentially beat out Michigan. Mostly applied based on rep.

This is either #2 or #3, I haven't decided since I haven't really visited yet. But I love the campus as far as I can from photos, the athletics programs are fantastic and the academics are top-notch.

It's close enough to Boston I can intern at the art museums, but far away to give it its distinct collegiate atmosphere. There's a TON of school spirit, which is really cool. The campus wasn't incredibly impressive when I visited, but it was pretty in parts. It's a pretty big party school, which isn't really what I want.

I was surprised at how competitive their admissions have gotten.

Honors Program- it certainly wasnt my first choice, but out of the ones I got into, I liked it the most. Very small physics department with the professors very accessible, not a big research school but thats not that important in terms of undergrad. solid overall undergrad experience, the core curriculum will expand my knowledge more than I would if i had gone to JHU

I live in the northeast, is that a plus?
