What are people's favoriet colleges?

What college are you most likely to go to?

My favorite college is Johns Hopkins. (May be a bit biased there. I am part of it in a way.)

I am probably going to University of Washington.

I want to go to Harvard, then Rabbinical school. Then I'll be a Reform Rabbi for a few years. Then, I'll own a Reform Jewish Overnight Camp. I am actually Conservative, but I can be less religous if I am Reform. Yes, I am Jewish, if you haven't guessed yet. Tesla

Well, I'm definitely biased since I've already applied and accepted :P I am going to Brown University - it wasn't my secret first choice when I applied, but it's a great place and I'm happy about it (so of course it's my favorite school now). :)

Princeton, Harvard, Standford, and Yale (The top four in the country) are the ones I want, 'cause I'm a Slytherin and I'm ambitious. I would say Princeton or Harvard if I didn't think they were so racist *Spits the word like venom* against Asian students! *Face darkens*

Don't mention that, Mei. 

I'm an insane person, with a complicated ambition. I don't feel like explaining it.

What are you aiming to major in?

I'm sorry, but it kind of annoys me when people ask me this. I'm only twelve. I haven't seriously thought about deciding on colleges yet. I'm the sort to answer any question presented to me with utmost sincerety, and I will not shoot off a random prestigious college (coughHarvardcough) to satisfy people. To properly answer a question of this importance to my standard, I would have do lots of reasearch, and I am not familiar with many colleges out there. I know some of the larger names, but I don't know enough details to give a good answer. I also feel that when the time comes for me to actually need to consider it, I will have a more openminded take on the opportunities presented to me.

Well, you don't need to answer. I am a year younger than you, and I have a plan.

RELAX you don't NEED to worry about it. Don't feel pressured!!!! College is a looooong way away. If people your age or younger than you think they know what college they want to go to, then that's great for them, though they wouldn't be in any trouble if they weren't.

I am twelve too. I know about different colleges, but it's really just someday swirling around in my mind. I just started thinking seriously about high school (I am going into 7th grade) though I have t really done any research yet.

That is a wise approach :) Some people like to plan out their lives well in advance - nothing's to say everyone is that way, or should be.

I have absolutely no idea where I'm going--I'm only twelve years old! However, I have heard that Harvard and Berklee College of Music have a double degree program, which means, if I get in, I could fulfill my dreams of majoring in both English and Musical Theater!

Harvard is ULTRA HARD to get into, though.

Since I live pretty close to the University of Illinois, I'll most likely go there for two years after a community college.
