College choices?
Asked by AnneMarie FAnyone have anything helpful to say about salem, bridgewater or framingham state colleges in mass? I applied to all 3 and want to know what people think of them before I decide! Thanks!

I don't know much about these particular colleges, but whatever others tell you, make sure you visit each one while classes are in session and spend some time talking to students. You'll (hopefully!) spend 4+ years of your life at your chosen school, and I actually happen to think that "feel" is very important. At which one do you feel most comfortable? Which one seems like the place where you could spend that much of your life? This will include all kinds of variables - the kinds of classes being offered, the dorms (assuming you plan on living in them), the social scene, cost of living, and so on. Different variables are more or less important for anyone. This is why it's especially important to visit while classes are in session. The atmosphere of the campus will be very different during the semester/quarter/trimester than during a break period. The students will give you the straight dope about what it's like to be there. This probably confuses more than clarifies....
