[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I agree with others that best overall shouldn't be the deciding factor.[/b] I would look for the strongest programs in the student's area of interest, what campus they like best, and where they might want to live after college (URI may not be the best university, but if you live in RI it's a benefit in employment).[/quote]

Who said that?

We're not signing a contact right now. In early stages and wondering what people's opinions and perceptions are, and they can define 'best' however they like.

Thanks everyone for your responses.

Let me try again. I think this thread reflects that there is no consensus that one school is The Best. Maybe UCONN is slightly stronger. However, as a nerd with a Ph.D., I wouldn't be so strong as to make it worth living in Storrs for 4 years. If I wanted to study puppetry, I might reconsider. I think all of the NE public universities have reputations as party schools.[/quote]
 
OP here. Thank you for responding. I didn't realize that (some people think) Storrs is so bad! Would you recommend that a strong student who is interested in a public university strongly consider being a bit bolder and leaving NE? All of these perspectives are helpful. Thx.[/quote]

Im confused by this question. Why is the student interested in public universities specifically?[/quote]
