[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are some "hidden gems" with lots of out-of-state students: https://www.collegeraptor.com/find-colleges/articles/hidden-gems-2022/hidden-gem-colleges-with-more-out-of-state-students-2022-rankings/

Not all are safeties, and some of the details are sloppy (Sewanee isn't in Florida!) but two of my kids' safeties are on the list.

And here are schools with high geographic diversity: https://www.collegeraptor.com/find-colleges/articles/2023-university-rankings/top-25-most-geographically-diverse-college-2023-rankings/

Again, not all safeties, but worth checking out.[/quote]
Eckerd on the diversity list and a true safety. Good on aid. Easy access from Tampa. on the water. If you love it, you love it. [/quote]

Funny you say if you love it, you love it.  I think the opposite was true.  This was high on my kid’s list during her marine bio phase.  She hated the school when we visited.  Her disdain was unexplainable, but visceral.  I thought it was interesting and had some good features.  I can see why some folks would love it.[/quote]

What turned her off? Eckerd is top of my kid’s list and we can’t go visit till late March. They have the program he wants, but then he loves the water/barefoot/pet vibe. He’s an athlete and stereotypically “athlete” - but also sort of hippy peace/love/happiness. What didn’t she like?[/quote]

Following bc my kid is interested in Eckerd, but can’t make up her mind about whether it’s a fit. She’s barefoot/water/pets, but not a big partier and drawn to wrestling with Very Big Ideas in a Great Books sort of way. She also loves St. Olaf. Hard to think of two more different college experiences, and yet both fit. [/quote]

S she considering St. John’s?[/quote]
