[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in New England.  Kids in Mass think UVM and UConn are better than UMASS and vice-versa.  Honestly, UMASS has come a long way since it’s ZOOMASS reputation.  Even Maine and UNH have improved a lot.  But for the best, I think it’s a tie between UMASS and UVM with UCONN right there.  It simply suffers from a crappy location.  [/quote]

Curious which one you'd most recommend a high school kid with strong grades apply to, who is totally undecided on major (maybe humanities. some days says bio. lol)
Just based on your opinion.

Hi OP . Sorry for the delay in responding.  Anyway, my DC and his friends all applied to the NE state schools, with the exception of URI.  For some reason, that school doesn't appear to be worth the OOS cost.  Maine is probably not ranked any higher but it offers tuition at the in-state rate for kids from Mass, so it's basically another in state flagship that they can apply to.  I see the college results of his class on IG and find that there are many attending UMASS, UVM, Maine, and UNH.  I haven't seen a URI yet.  Obviously, there are also quite a few attending the directional or smaller state schools (UMass Dartmouth, Framingham State, etc).  However, the higher ranked kids of all stripes are mainly looking at UMASS and UVM. [/quote]

Thank you for responding! No UConn? I had the impression it was pretty decent; maybe I have heard more about it because I am from NYS. Thanks again.[/quote]
