ok i think i need to explain my reasoning on these schools considering no one is understanding... so i live in st. louis area, thats why Im looking at Missouri colleges, 2nd. I realize some of these are different... hello im not stupid here... and i HAVE done many hours of researching. They are different bc i have the petential to go to an outstanding school like penn. i just dont want to take the risk and be soo far from home so then the other half of me wants to go somewhere like Rockhurst because its really laid back... im not looking for suggestions on other schools.. these are my choices i just wanted to kno if anyone had any experience w. these schools, so i could here some personal insight. thanks.

This is a rather odd list. What made you pick these schools? They are quite different from each other.
Drury and Rockhurst I never heard of, St Lawrence and SLU are respectable, but not outstanding, and Penn is one of the top schools in the world (you're sure you understand this is a private university - one of the Ivy League schools, not a state university!)
You need to go to the website for each one of these schools and see what they have to say. Then you need to go to the guidance office at your school and read through the books that tell about what the different schools are like.
I think that you need to do a lot more research before you choose the schools on your list -- this is going to be 4 of the most important years of your life, you are going to spend a PILE of money, and right now you aren't too well up on what you're doing. A few hours research will be well worth it!

Univ of Penn is best school out of those. In fact, it is one of the best in the country. If you get accepted into Univ of Penn (I hope you do), go there. Dont even consider going to the other ones you have listed above.

They are both very good.. I know that if I had a preference, I would go to the St. Louis one as it is more down to earth.. I know that may not be the correct way to say it but I j ust did

Try finding out through US News & World Report...they do rankings and information lists each year for universities. Also, you can visit epodunk.com and find out about the communities these colleges are in....plus epondunk.com has info on the universities themselves. good luck.

UPenn is an Ivy and so very competitive and difficult to get into.
