College?

[QueenMaeve]

I've only lived in Ohio for a year, and I'm not sure which college would be best. I'll be a senior in high school next year, so I still have some time to shop around.

I live in Wapakoneta (Auglaize County), and I want to do something with biology or chemistry. German, fencing and archery would be a plus, but the two sports aren't as important. I want to go somewhere that's less than 150 miles from home. I went on to collegeboard.com and found a couple that look promising, but it would be greatly appreciated to see some other opinions. University of Toledo sounded good until I found out that it's a big party school. I don't want to party, I want to learn. sad

Mount Vernon Nazarene University
Bluffton University
Dayton University
Ohio University
OSU in Lima (only for the first 1-2 years)


I found some others, but haven't really looked in to them.

University of Findlay
Dension University
Defiance College


Edit - After looking at MVNU's website, I'm not too sure I want to go there. It was my top choice until I found out that all students are required to go to Chapel. I don't think that a religion-affiliated school is unavoidable, but one that will give me a good education and not force their beliefs onto me would be great.

I am recomending Miami of Ohio. It is a very good school

Case Western Reserve looks like an amazing college. It's in Cleveland. The campus was awesome. I went on a college visit and it's really neat.

Wooster is also a really good school with a pretty campus if you'd rather have a small-town feel :3

hhhmmm.... I've herd good things about Ohio State Newark Campus. I'm taking classes at Columbus state right now and its a good Community College, but I'm also still in High School so all Colleges sound good.

UD is a wonderful school but costly. (Univeristy of Dayton)

I don't know about OSU Lima but the main campus always has things going on and can be a bit much. Trust me on that I went there for a year and a half before I got sick was had to leave.

Take the campus tours. Those help when deciding if you like the school. Also, make sure you look at all the programs and cost.

I just finished going to Shawnee State University, has some friendly professors, and its sity was a nice change of pace for me since I grew up in Columbus
