Here's DD's current criteria: biggish (10,000+), football (pref D1), campus feel but close to a city (so GTown yes but no GW), B/B+ student, some Greek life, warmish climate.

Interesting, I never knew that Clemson was public. And it's a good deal for out of state students.

OP here. I should have mentioned we're in Va but we/kids probably don't want to go where they could be accepted in state.

William & Mary
UVA
Michigan

DC likely applying to these 3. We are not VA residents so the VA schools are out of state.

DC ruled out UNC and UVM. We ruled out CU-Boulder.

Portland State U
Keene State U
IUPUI
UW-Madison

Pretty much any COPLAC school (Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges) www.coplac.org

Curious what public colleges you've toured recently or where your kids are interested in looking/attending?
