[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't a lot of it regional though? Plenty of middle/upper middle class families in the DMV send their kids to places like UMBC, Towson, CNU, Radford, St. Mary's MD, etc. But you're probably not going to find a lot of families from say, Minnesota sending their kids there or considering them as options. Likewise, not many families in the DMV are looking to send their kids to schools like Mankato State, UM Duluth, Winona State, etc. (i.e., regional schools in Minnesota) but those schools are certainly on the radar screen for lots of high schoolers of all social classes in MN (and WI/IA).

Funny enough, I ran across several of these schools looking for a particular performing arts program for my child - wish those MN regional schools actually worked for her!

Instead, she has 2 MI schools in contention.

We even considered schools like Wisconsin-Stevens Point, Wichita State, and Utah Tech, but ... not happening.[/quote]

Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo College have great performing arts programs and K is generous with merit aid.[/quote]

WMU is very popular on the FB board I am part of. These two aren't on kiddo's list, but we did investigate.

She is actually applying to NMU, but we investigated all the directional MI schools as options. CMU could still sneak in at the end, but the performing art major currently requires very specific minor fields and NOT the ones my child is looking for.[/quote]

If your DD is looking at NMU, then you two need to check this out:
