New York City, Providence, or Alexandria? Where would you go to college?
I'm trying to decide where I should go to college. (I'm 15, so I have plenty of time to figure it out!) But I decided I would love to live in a city. I'm sort of familiar with New York City, I visit my aunt and uncle there sometimes. And I love how beautiful and busy it is. But I am more familiar with Alexandria, in virginia. It is a really nice city, and very close to Washington, DC, which I love to visit. But I live in New England, so New York is pretty close to where I live, and DC is pretty far away. I'm also interested in Providence Rhode Island, or maybe going to Roger Williams college, it's just so nice there.
I want to study art and art history, and I know that both New York and around DC have great places for that. I know that Providence has excellent places to study art and theater as well, but does Roger Williams college have good study programs for that? I would love to go to any of those places, but I just don't know. If you were in my position, where would you rather live and study?
:) Thanks.

I went to college in Washington, DC and it was a wonderful experience. What really sealed the deal for me is the fact that Washington, DC is a walkable/bike-able city with museums that are free, for the most part.
New York is another consideration, but I found the city overwhelming in terms of its sheer size as well as the cost of living. Washington, DC's cost of living is less than New York.
I don't know much about Roger Williams College, but just remember that once you're out of college, people aren't going to ask what your grades where...they're going to ask you where you went to school. You'll want a "brand name" school.
