[quote=Anonymous]IR person here with a HS junior who's also interested in the major. Those are all great options. Honestly I'd suggest the kid pick the school that suits him best - does he want a larger or smaller school? Does he care about being in a city? Does he ski (which adds to the Midd appeal)?

My DC recently visited Tufts and he liked the size, the sense of a busy campus with a lot of events and opportunities, and the proximity to Boston. (I have another kid at one of the Maine SLACs and he loves that more rural, outdoorsy environment.)

DC location is great, mainly for fall/spring internship opportunities, but let's be real, there are only so many of those and so it should not be the primary determining factor for a kid from this area.

One other thing - some schools have generous support for internships & other opportunities. We visited a SLAC last week that offered up to $7k a summer experience. The tour guide mentioned that it had enabled him to be more competitive in getting really valuable internships. I don't know how common that is but it seemed like a great feature.[/quote]
