[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our oldest just started at Beloit this year. He really likes it. Small classes, engaged professors, more relaxed vibe. And I really can't complain that it costs the same as our average state school.[/quote]

I thought Beloit looked really great, kind of a less obnoxious Reed or Bard, but I could not sell my kid on Wisconsin. [/quote]

My sibling and I both went there; we're west coasters. It was a great experience for both of us. One thing that was important to both of us was study abroad opportunities -- we both spent one full year abroad with no issues.

For better or for worse, it doesn't have the most Wisconsin-y vibes... the closest meaningful airport is O'Hare and a pretty big chunk of people go there from Chicago and Chicagoland. [/quote]

You can study abroad with “no issues” while attending virtually any college or university in this country. Beloit is by no means special when it comes to that.[/quote]

Depends on when the poster graduated. I attended a school a bit ago where many, many kids went on study abroad, including athletes and STEM majors. The whole curriculum was set up to facilitate this. Some overseas centers were offered that were one of kind for any US college/university.

Lots of schools do this now but much less so then and at that scale. [/quote]

And to follow on 15:08’s comment, the CoA was also built in and all students on FA were able to participate, which was not automatic then. One of my siblings @ a T20 was not able to go through their school as FA was not allowed for study abroad @ that time. [/quote]
