[quote=Anonymous]I live in Maine and have kid at UVM. We pretty much limited his search to all of the new England state schools (his choice) and he has friends at all of them. There’s a nice range of options in the region and some clear strengths and weaknesses. UMaine  is by far the least selective  (97% acceptance) and as others have said it’s really the middle of nowhere. It’s fine for some things (especially engineering) but certainly the least lively campus. UMass and UConn are most highly ranked in USNWR they are both also enormous campuses so not for  for everyone. UNH/URI are probably pretty comparable how selective they are, both pretty good regional universities. UVM, by virtue of its awesome location and nice size has a lot of curb appeal and because the state population is so small, also has relatively high percentage of kids from someplace else which does give it a different different vibe than the other systems that have a lot of high school networks that all go together. Before we visited UVM, I heard the comment that “looks like a private school“ and I would agree with that. [/quote]
