[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some options to consider - my son is also ADD, national merit semifinalist but doesn’t want high pressure and will benefit from supports. We looked at a lot of schools that offer Honors Colleges - gives him a cohort from the start.

Arizona State bigger than VT
U of Arizona bigger than VT
Alabama bigger than Tech
Purdue bigger
Penn State Way bigger than Tech
U of South Florida bigger than Tech

Op, all but one of these schools are bigger than Tech.The only suggestion here that is helpful (size-wise)  is TCU, which is recognized as a top party school.

It would be helpful to know what STEM major your son is considering because a lot of good SLACs and LACs have some good programs.

I have a DD that has a similar social profile. She doesn’t want to go to a party school. I do think at rigorous state schools you can find your people e.g. UVA or Tech. Depending on the major, maybe William and Mary? Case Western, Kenyon, Northeastern, Emory, Tufts, Dickinson, Skidmore could work.[/quote]

Yes these are large schools but the Honors Colleges are a school within a school - they often have their own residence hall and unique activities. Plus more access to faculty and resources.[/quote]
