Hi.

I'm considering going to Mills College which is in Oakland and is a womens college over UC Irvine.

I loathe UCI with all my heart and I have lived a big chunk of my life in that area- so no new adventures.

Mills College is like the Anne of Green Gables college of my dreams- built in the 1800's with all antique furniture, it's a dream come true to me.

However, I can't visit it at all... do you think I'd love it at Mills and take that chance without visiting it? You gotta understand, I really don't like UCI.

I barely applied a week ago and school starts on August 23. It'd be sort of a waste to go and drive 7 hours and back when school starts in less than a month.

I went to a college I never visited before attending.  I felt like I knew enough about it to know it was what I wanted, and it turned out alright.

Take a chance. You're comparing it to Anne of Green Gables. That would be good enough for me any day.

When you've got two choices, and you hate one, then the decision ought to be fairly straightforward. The unknown might be good, whereas the known is miserable. So take a chance. If you dislike it, you can always transfer elsewhere for the next year, or possibly even second semester.
