Great campus, right on the water. It's gorgeous. Plus, it's an honors college and attracts studious types. If your kid is into sailing or rowing, it must be on their list. Cheap in-state tuition, plus a high acceptance rate (70s).

The only downside is that it's remote. It's near nothing. Like, not even a pharmacy or grocery store. The nearest pharmacy is 7-8 miles away. There is no town around the school, nor restaurants or even a bar.

I think the location is what dissuades so many from applying. [/quote]

What puzzles me about this “honors college” is the student profile does not reflect a really strong cohort. It seems like more of a CTCL school than a William & Mary, for example. [/quote]
+1. What are internships like? What about research opportunities? What about their financials?

I really want to like this school and will definitely have DD visit but the student profile also puzzles me.[/quote]

Some of the CTCL schools are stronger. SMCM is losing students. [/quote]

Can you tell us more about what’s going on at SMCM? We visited and wanted to love it, but the info session and the tour guide were very unimpressive. [/quote]
