Selecting colleges is serious business, something that will have a long term effect on your life and needs to be considered with great care. I studied at a midwestern university and a lot of people were very surprised at my choice, but for my program of study it was absolutely perfect. I found that a lot of midwestern schools offer a great variety of programs and have really superb faculties. There are lot of resources finding schools in the midwest or specific to a city, such as www.schoolsinstlouis.com which is a good place to start your search.
My experience has been really great at a midwestern college and I would recommend it to anyone who wants an excellent education, a good campus life, great faculty and relatively cheap living expenses. The combination of factors is really superb and potential students should make the effort to visit these schools and find the right one for them.
