Hamilton[/quote]

I went to Hamilton in the 90s. It was solid, but nowhere near Wesleyan or Middlebury. Whenever I hear it mentioned with those schools, I am aghast. In the 90s, there were frat bros, stoners and maybe a couple of Ivy rejects. However you could get a good liberal arts education and a solid foundation for a career.

Santa Clara seems like a great school. A mid-sized university in the Silicon Valley. I have met families whose kids go there and think well of it.

Colby has also risen as well. It was similar to Hamilton, but now it is pretty competitive. Trinity and Conn were pretty much New England kids, but now attract kids from all over the country.

Growing up in Westchester, I didn't know anybody who went to an SEC school, but now tons of kids from the DC area go to them as well as more kids from the tri-state area. The only school that is relatively popular here, but not so much in the tri-state area is Ole Miss. I have met kids who have gone there and gone on to be very successful.[/quote]
My sister is in Westchester now with a HS senior and it boggles my mind how many of her friends are going to SEC schools. I also didn’t know anyone who went there BITD.[/quote]
