[quote=Anonymous]No one attends campus events (suggests low school spirit/sense of community). We asked about this on tours. My kid was a bio major and we asked how many kids struggled in the entry level bio class (many are a weedout class, which results in students dropping STEM major). If a significantly lower proportion of upperclassmen get merit aid than freshmen (this statistic is available, in college guides like Princeton Review). If you see this, it means they only used the merit aid to recruit the kid and have no intention of continuing it for four years. Often they do this through inflexible rules for maintaining the aid (like a trigger that is based upon semester GPA rather than overall GPA).[/quote]
