    here is the whole thing.
    currently, i live in michigan and would like to move to either a florida, or california school for college. somewhere right on the beach, ocean side, and if california, preferably somewhere southern.
    as for the size, i would like something bigger, but intimate and small is something i would consider as well. i want to go into something as teaching, or the arts, photography, perhaps.
    I want a college that is very laid back, nice people, helpful teachers, and a generally good atmosphere.
    i am not that great of a student, at all, and i really messed up junior year, i got something like a 1.5, 1.8. My ACT's wern't good either, I think I got an 18.
    So, I need something that is not hard to get into, as that may be a bit of a problem for me.
    Financially it can be anything.
    i also need something with a lot of stability, dorm rooms, and a college that will help you individually. I have a non verbal learning disability so I may need extra help at times.
    Please, please! If anyone knows of any colleges that sound like I might be interested in, I would love to hear about them.. I am getting a bit desperate.

    Rollins College seems to be where you'd wanna go. It's located in Winter Park, just outside of Orlando. It's a very impressive school that cares little about grades. Their day school is quite a bit more expensive then their night school.
    Under google type in Rollins Holt. It will bring up both the day and night school links. Good Luck

    IADT- International Acdemy of Design and Technology has several campuses. The two Florida sites are in Tampa and Orlando. I recommend the Tampa site, because I go there and that makes it awesome.

    For some reason I was under the impression that Rollins was relatively hard to get into. I know their average GPA is something like a 3.5 or so... but I don't know. I had a suitemate at a summer program who claimed up and down that it was so hard to get into just because she was in IB, but she could have been bsing it. :p Just a heads up..

    There seemed to be alot of community college type schools around the Miami area when I was last there.

    You probably should start out at a community college first off anyway because even most state schools won't take much lower than a 2.5 or so. Just a suggestion- it would be better to get your grades up in a community college and transfer to the school of your dreams rather than settle on something mediocre.

    It's been considered, but the truth is, once I get 'settled' in a community college, even if I am only there for a year, no matter how much I want to get out, I won't. That's just how I am, If I'm settled down, even if I'm not completely content, I will just stay. That is why I want to get out first opportunity, no looking back-or else I most likely never will, and I just don't want to do that to myself, dig?
