[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely look into [b]Case Western.[/b]  It's in a fantastic area (check it out before dismissing it because of, well, [b]Pittsburgh[/b]).  They offered my son a $30,000/year merit offer, and the facilities and opportunities were amazing.  The only reason he didn't attend is because he chose a full ride to Maryland (can't beat free), but it was a close second.

Your son sounds like mine.  Have you considered Maryland?  College Park is full of brilliant, geeky, interesting people, and the Greek life doesn't dominate college.  You might be surprised how much he thrives in a large college environment where there are so many types of people and groups.  Also, he can come home when he likes (my daughter still chooses to come home from College Park every weekend).

Good luck![/quote]

Case Western is in Cleveland. Are you thinking of Carnegie Mellon? That's in Pittsburgh. At any rate, why would anyone dismiss a school because it is in Pittsburgh, consistently rated one of the most "livable" cities in the US?[/quote]

The Oakland area of Pittsburgh with Carnegie Mellon and Pitt is a really neat area - much more of a student quarter than any part of DC or Hyde Park.    [/quote]
