[quote=Anonymous]My nephew is a senior at a good high school in MoCo.  He is a decent student (~3.2 GPA) with a college-track but not particularly challenging courseload (he has taken 1 or 2 APs, but he struggles with math and science and is in Algebra II as a senior).  His SATs are ~1000, but he is re-taking the test next month.  It is hard getting him to focus on where he wants to apply - the only criteria he has given are that he does not want a huge school (I would say under 10k), he wants to stay within about a 4 hour driving distance of MoCo, and he is social and very into sports but he does not drink alcohol so he does not want a college that's mainly a drunk-fest on the weekends.  The tuition would need to be reasonable or have good financial aid packages.  Also he is a minority (latino) so a student body with some diversity would be welcome.  I think that Frostburg could be a good fit for him, but my impression is that there is a lot of drinking on campus (I suspect that is the case for many colleges in rural areas).  His mom and I are scouring the college websites, us news and world report, etc. but it feels very overwhelming.  Can you suggest some other colleges to put onto our list to look at that might be a good fit for him academically and socially?  Many thank yous.[/quote]
