Information to help you achieve your educational goals

Penn State University, Lycoming College, Duquesne University or University College Utrecht (Netherlands)?!?


Asked by kindoveaz
Which and why?! I really love the city and I don't mind large campuses. I grew up in Williamsport and still live here, so Lycoming would be very [almost too] close to home. I am all for travel abroad, and I love Holland and plan on living in Europe for the bulk of my life, but is so much change at one time really worth it (meaning, changing from high school to college, plus moving to a new country, perhaps learning a new language, learning my way around an entirely new city [i know my way around the others, if not intuitively], dealing with my electronics working, etc.)? I have gone to Europe twice, both for tourism and cultural learning by actually living as a European by staying with a native for 7 weeks, so I very much enjoy adventure and Europe...but, in your opinion, what do you think? Are there things I might not be thinking of (beside possible credit transfer problems in the future)? What do you know about these campuses (if applicable)? Any help would be great!

They are SO different. Do you want to go to a big school (Penn State) or a small school (Lycoming College---absolutely beautiful campus, great academics, feels like home in no time--I went there, you see.) Do you WANT to leave the country? Knowing nothing of who you are, what you want to study, where you would be comfortable, or what kind of a college experience you're looking for, the only thing I have to go by is my own experience, and you happen to have picked my alma mater as one of your choices, so I wholeheartedly recommend Lycoming College. I loved it there, my husband love it there, my kids loved it there--it's perfect if what you want is an excellent small liberal arts college.
