[quote=Anonymous]I visited a few years ago with daughter. We both liked it. It was big enough but not too spread out like U of Alabama is. You will likely get some merit aid based on GPA and SAT/ACT.  Also, as you move south or west  from the Boston-DC corridor, you’ll likely get more AP credit, too.

My kid ended up somewhere similar. Some things to be aware of is that when you go to a school like this, the sorority gals can be pretty nasty, & many kids’ social lives (and frat/sorority acceptances) can rely heavily on connections they have made in high school or family connections. As long as your kid goes in with an open mind and doesn’t do the typical East Coast stuff (“You call THIS a bagel?”) the hospitality can be wonderful.

Also, depending on where you are from, you will likely encounter haters who will act as if they are way too good for this school. My kid got crap from high school classmates & teachers for daring to think outside the box for her college choice, but that just made her like it even more. [/quote]
