I go to Tufts which seems like it would be one of your considerations. I can't really say anything negative about it except that the weather in the northeast can get depressing, and the dorms could be better. The good thing about Boston is that you can be at probably 15 different schools within 20 minutes. For casinos, Foxwoods is <2 hrs, but ID is needed. The next closest is Turning Stone in NY, like 5 hrs away.

I went to Pomona and HIGHLY recommend it. Amazing school. The claremont colleges on the whole are really awesome and you cannot really go wrong. Also, they have TONS of money so don't get scared away by the price tag. They have mad aid available.

My cousins went to Pomona in California. I don't know anything about it, but I do know that they are smart and have well-paying jobs right now heh.

The Clairemont Colleges are very good, but very expensive.

Read my post above. They are expensive but give TONS of financial aid. They meet 100% of need. And totally worth any penny you do have to pay.

Any sizable liberal Arts college. It will allow for maximum variation in subjects.

UT Austin is a good start.

UTexas in Austin is a great school to go to. It has a wide variety of courses and school population.

I always somehow think college is more enjoyed when you are in state.

I'd love to say Illinois since I went there, but it's probably not what you want mountain biking style.

I've traveled across many campuses and I feel that you should go to Arizona State University. There is no school that can claim more hotties. It's a large state school where your test scores would carry you in easily. The Arizona area has some mountain biking. Casino Arizona and its scores of live poker tables are nearby. Vegas is a common road trip for undergrads there. Advantages of being near a big metropolitan area (Phoenix).

Seriously, UT-Austin, Stanford, and ASU are the only schools I have ever thought that might have been as much fun as the University of Illinois in good ol' Champaign-Urbana.

If youre the best jazz guitarist in the country, you might consider not even going to school yet and just try to gig for maybe a few months. It would sure help you decide if you still have a desire to pursue music. I study jazz over at Berklee college of music in Boston and love it. There are also plenty of other music institutions in and around Boston, NY, Philly...etc. It sounds like your lifestyle wouldn't really fit in the east coast though. The weather here is [censored] horrible.
