Why don’t you name the second school? This is just odd

Do you mean Underwood International College?
Also, it’s Spelman, isn’t it?

Very small school and I don't want to be identifiable. But it consistently ranks top 10 in USNWR.

Binghamton isn't very popular in the DC area but it's a very good school. Do you every drive by when you go to Cornell?

Um, I think the other 5 schools make you identifiable

The school of business and nursing programs were well respected back when I attended. I gravitated towards statistics and research and that worked out well for me. It is pretty affordable too as an out of state option.
Yes, we drove by on our way to Ithaca. The weather (thunderstorms) didn’t permit for a quick visit. When I attended college, I visited Syracuse and Cornell for various events and I remember thinking those campuses looked gorgeous compared to ours but it has its own modern architectural charm. Lots of green space and very walkable.
