[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of comments here about the climate rather than the education. If you look at the WSJ survey of attitudes of recent alums (on a scale of ten): Was your college the right choice: Iowa: 8.6; Arizona; 8.3 Were the students around you inspiring: Iowa: 7.6; Arizona: 7.4 Was your college worth the cost: Iowa: 7.7; Arizona: 7.3 Those are strong scores for both, and the gaps aren't huge, but Iowa grads rate their experience higher.[/quote] Weather is one of the major differences between these schools. Why not consider it. I'm surprised OP's kid doesn't have a strong preference. If we are only going to look at the numbers, Iowa is slightly higher ranked than AZ, but, I wouldn't send my kid to either of these schools out of state. [b]The following VA and MD schools are all better: UVA, WM, VT, JMU, GMU, UMD, UMBC.[/b][/quote] Don't be a clown. [/quote]
