Without factoring in tuition costs, what would be (or would have been) your "Dream" college to attend?
In the USA, I would have jumped at the chance to attend Brown University or perhaps, Dartmouth
Overseas, I would have been honored beyond belief, to have been admitted to either Université de Genève or Universität Zürich, because, according to the US State Dept., the educational system in Switzerland is, “the best in the World.”
Ah, if I had my youth to live, once again…

California College of Arts & Crafts, up in the Bay Area. Popped in unannounced on a road trip while I was going to a junior college in SoCal, took a tour, and loved it.
But it was too rich for my blood… I attended CSULB.
I think you attended an excellent facility, at CSULB.
You should be proud, and brag.
I would have loved to have gone there myself, just because of all the “hot tub parties” that were legendary there…

The University of California at Berkeley – in 1968.
Tuition might not be a factor, but time travel would be.
You wouldn’t have remembered anything, had you gone there, back then.
No one who did, can.

@JA none of those commas were necessary.
the one I went to three times.. King’s college.
@ezraglenn: One comma was “necessary.”
I decide the content of my comments (and their structure); not you, nor anyone else.

That really is a top-notch school. I wouldn’t mind attending classes there, myself.

Swarthmore or Brown probably; Princeton possibly.
@JAdams, “Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swarthmore, but she changed her mind that day!” I wonder if she attended her freshmen year.
P.S. I found her IMDB bio pretty impressive, especially since she died in 1974, but managed to appear in an episode of Lost in 2005, now there’s staying power for you!
Remember the adage, “With time travel, all things are possible.”

CSULB was a good school for Studio Art, but I do wonder “what if” sometimes.
p.s. Never saw a hot tub the whole time I was there.
The Sorbonne, Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz and some small east coast-y women’s college, though I think it had more to do with where I was in my life when I graduated, than with the tuition. I might still get to one of these for a PhD someday.
TheLanguage school in a Prague and after that atend school of French language in Paris. I would say public freedom.
shadling – Carnegie Mellon is a great school (I went there and loved it, as did my husband and both of my parents!) What do you need a graduate degree in?
@sdeutsch – I don’t know yet! I’m a film studies major, and I love learning about communications, culture, digital media, the internet, arts (especially dance and music)... I don’t really know what program is right for me, though, and haven’t looked into it.
What did you take there? And is it hard to get in? And is it expensive?
I’d be an international student, unfortunately.
@shadling – How hard it is to get in really depends on what department you’re applying to, but fortunately for you, Carnegie Mellon accepts a lot of international students in all of their programs (especially grad programs). I’m pretty sure they have some good financial aid for international students too…
I did my undergrad in the drama department (I’m a stage manager), and I absolutely loved it. I’ll send you a message with more info (don’t need to bore the people here with it!) ;)
I’m at Parsons, and I’m pretty sure this is my dream school, but it came down between here and NYU.
I’ve always wanted to attend Yale University in New Haven.
