[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Solid B student (3.25 GPA) with ADHD, not submitting test scores - we've done a good job of finding some good choices within a 3-ish hour radius of DC. Student wants to be in colder weather, enjoys winter sports. Wants to study environmental science, biology, natural resource management. We've not traveled much in New England and I feel like we've not really evaluated options. Student will not have a car. Any quick brainstorms of colleges we should look at that are along the Amtrak north east corridor, or otherwise train accessible? We've been looking at ~5K-20K size, a positive acceptance rate (65% or higher), more urban/suburban (ie, not an isolated campus - wants access to shops, restaurants, things to do). Has tended to prefer public universities to privates. I've only come up with UConn and UMass Boston. Other ideas? [/quote] University of New Hampshire? Amtrak station right on campus, hiking nearby, white mountains nearby. Easy access to Boston and Maine, cute little town. Our child was accepted with similar stats/background. Although didn't end up going as merit aid was not great and it was an expensive OOS for us. [/quote]
