[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s great if you can handle the weather.[b] It’s the rare medium sized school and is also an R1[/b]. Motivated and smart students but not cutthroat (and a relatively sedate party scene which may be a pro or con depending on the kid. The openish curriculum is also a big draw. [/quote] Only 3% of all universities are R1, so it is a big deal and something to consider when looking at schools. R1 designation is a huge indicator of the intellectual quality and rigor of the school. However, being a medium sized school that is an R1 is not rare per se. Many of the R1 universities have under 10,000 students: Rice, Notre Dame, Tulane, Carnegie Mellon, Brandeis, Brown, Boston College, University of Chicago, Princeton, Northwestern, MIT, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, Emory, Duke, Dartmouth, Columbia, CIT, Case Western, Harvard & Yale.
