I want to start taking double courses and graduate very early because in a weird way i cant stand high school. I need to go to a different place and begin something new. My Question: Does anybody know of any reallly good schools in New York State, Pennsylvania area? PLEASE help me here .lol thank you so much!

I've gotta plug Drexel University, since it was founded by the same people who founded our high school (and the order of nuns who run the school), and we have lots of connections with them. Carnegie Mellon's also a good school if you're looking for a more technical school. Cornell, in addition to NYU (already mentioned) are good schools, and possibly Rochester Institute of Technology, for a more technical school.

Oh, also, I guess NJ schools might be of interest, since it's in the same area. Rutgers and Princeton are two decent NJ schools. (Decent, of course, being quite an understatement with regards to Princeton.)

If I had more information (what kinds of things are you interested in studying? Upstate NY? City? Eastern or Western PA? How are your grades?), I might be able to help you narrow it down a bit more.


Being of a very scientific bent, I'd like to go to college at a technical school. However, every one of these school I read about seems very traditional, with sororities, fraternities, and lots of drinking. They never talk about how liberal the student body is or how much activism there is on campus. Do you know of any quirky, liberal technical schools with character, preferably somewhere in or around the northeast? (link)
I might also suggest Carnegie Mellon. It's on the forefront of technology, and the campus is diverse enough to have a variety of options. MIT, too, because it attracts the best and the brightest, can have a bit of an alternative edge to it.

I don't know much about it, but with a name like Harvey Mudd, that college has got to be somewhat original.
