Northwestern is 7500 undergrad... 50% of which are drunk white Greeks who got rejected from the Ivies because outside of their grades and scores are shallow people.
Not exactly private, homely, diverse etc...

University of Minnesota, Twin cities here, Sophomore (technically Freshman). Great place. A wee bit big (I think ~50k students), but overall a good time.

Liar, you said you got into JHU and WF in another thread.
JHU offered me a scholarship, I didn't apply there

I applied to two. Passed on UT Austin both for undergrad and grad school (offered me a sweet ride for grad school).
Currently attending Cal State, East Bay. Not happy, not really sad about being at CSUEB.
Hope to go to Cal for grad school.

I went to Pepperdine University. Yes, I loved it there -- I mean c'mon, it's in Malibu for God's sake! No, I didn't transfer. I went there all four years.
I go to St. Edward's University in Austin, TX. For grad school, I will probably try to go to UT-Austin. I'm pretty happy here for undergrad, but I'm definitely not going to grad school here.

UT Knoxville - accepted
UT Chattanooga - accepted (& attended)
College of William & Mary - denied
Sophomore at the very same school. Loving it an awful lot. Great campus, very good professors, and a lot of opportunities. Not to mention that it's much, much cheaper than some of the private colleges I was accepted to.
EDIT:
Damn, there are a lot of UIUC students here.

Penn State University, Erie campus.
Come wintertime, you will come to know what "lake effect snow" means. It will most likely snow every week, perhaps up to a foot total.
If it's not winter, it will rain every week.
At some point in the week, part of lake Erie will be falling from the sky onto Erie county.
The campus is small, only a few thousand students as far as I know. It covers a fairly large area, so there's a lot of walking, outside, so if you're here, you'd best get plenty of rain gear. Oh, it's windy too, so don't count on an umbrella doing the job, unless you don't mind getting your legs soaked.
Decent campus though, I think. But then, my only other college experience was a community college, which felt a bit like "13th grade" - still like high school, only a slightly higher level, with the students having more autonomy.

At UNC Chapel Hill.
Transferring to NC State to do Chem-E.
I like it here alright. All anyone ever does here is drink and go to basketball games, which is a great thing on the weekends, but I have a hard time finding people that are really fun to be around. Most of them are too concerned with getting drunk next Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, and sometimes Sunday afternoons.
Also, I had a close group of friends from high school which basically split up between Caltech, JHU, Davidson, and the Naval Academy, so I only see them on rare occasions.
STAY ON CAMPUS. Staying off campus your first year is possibly the worst decision you could make. Especially if it's with your parents.
Applied to 3, mostly because I knew I was going to a state school for financial reasons:
UNC Chapel Hill, NCSU, Johns Hopkins. Accepted to all three.

I start off at Felician College. I hated it.
I then transfered to Pace University Manhattan. I liked it there, but being in the city got too expensive and I left after a semester.
I took a semester off and just took a few marketing classes at a community college to figure out what I wanted to do.
I then went to NJIT and I'm in my second year there. In terms of the "college party life" it'd be horrible for most, but i dont do that anyway and the academics are great and im very happy there.

I'm a junior at UT Arlington doing accounting. I'm pretty happy here but don't have any other colleges to compare it too.
As a JuCO transfer student I applied to
Texas
Texas A&M
Texas Tech
Baylor
SMU
TCU
I was accepted to all but Texas. I didnt get a generous enough aid package to go to Baylor, SMU, or TCU. I got a full tuition scholarship at Texas Tech. A&M gave nadda. I'm content with my choice, I wasnt at first mainly because I moved from College Station to Lubbock, but Tech has grown on me, unfortunately Lubbock has not.
I have a few more quarters left at University of Washington. I've liked it quite a bit so far.
The only thing I really dislike about the campus is all the retard LaRouche people.
UW is the only place I applied because I got admitted early and it was the school I wanted to go to.
