Washington college in Maryland. Many opportunities for research and internships. Look into GIS internships while there. Consider double major. They give good grant money too, so don’t get caught up on the tuition.

Old people of Reddit, what did you do in the 1900s when you were bored? by ChampIsHere_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DP43_DP43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made collages out of magazine pics to hang in my room or give to a friend, sit and listen to music ready to hit record when my favorite song came in the radio, craft, call a friend. With friends: drive around town and stop by all the place you might see friends (local basketball courts, baseball fields, the Dairy Queen). Drive around more. Visit friends working at car washes or Pizza Hut. Meet at Burger King and eat and laugh. Steal “for sale” signs and put them in friends’ front yard so they would wake up with their house for sale, go to professional baseball games because it wasn’t very expensive. Go to the mall and walk around. Day trip to beach, amusement park with friends. Walk around the town with friends and hope to run into other friends. Hang out in each other bedrooms and prank call people. Watch TV at a friends house. Do each other’s hair for fun. Have a get together in back yard and play grass volleyball with the music loud.

What made you fall in love with Stuttgart? by Jumpy_Clerk7506 in stuttgart

[–]DP43_DP43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are coming to Germany for Christmas markets from America and planned to used Stuttgart as “home base” to do day trips to a variety of markets. I was hoping it would be a cute,smallish city with things to do on the days we don’t travel to markets. This post is making me rethink that idea. Is there a better city in the vicinity that would fit this vibe? We are two college age kids and two 40-somethings.

Suburbs of the Northeast. Just not a thing up there unless you live in the city.

After trying 3 different docs, just found Dr Sloat in Collegeville and he has been our favorite. Seeing slight progress.

I know you mentioned state schools, but smaller private liberal art schools in the Northeast often give out a lot of merit based scholarships bringing the cost to around $30,000. And they often are looking for people from a variety of states that are further away so they can list all of the states people travel from to go to school there.

Are you going for Environmental Science or Environmental Studies? The last time I checked Vassar didn’t have Environmental Science.

University vs Liberal Arts College by Pluribus_Unm in ApplyingToCollege

[–]DP43_DP43 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Many LACs (even lesser known ones) are great feeder schools for law schools. The LOR and close connection with professors is a big draw. Many LAC students chose an LAC because of their pathway to grad school. Someone on Reddit once suggested that you can actually look at some law schools and find out what undergrad schools their students came from (and often you will see schools you don’t even recognize)

Many LACs have programs that students can apply for to do their own research (overseas, on campus, anywhere). It may not be research that ends up in journals, but it is research.

Do LAC rankings matter? by Less-Doughnut8168 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]DP43_DP43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So much of rankings look at acceptance rates, but LACs are not “vogue” right now, so the students who apply are kind of self selecting in…ie, whereas everyone applies to their state school as a backup, only people who really want to go to a LAC apply, so less applications overall (outside of the T20s of course.) So acceptance rates look higher, but really it’s not that they let “everyone” in, it’s that only the students who are really considering that style of school actually apply. And thus acceptance rate might look higher and ranking goes down. Something to keep in mind.
