UNH has a strong science program if she’s in to that.

Every school is a party school.

Who said that?

We're not signing a contact right now. In early stages and wondering what people's opinions and perceptions are, and they can define 'best' however they like.

Thanks everyone for your responses.

Let me try again. I think this thread reflects that there is no consensus that one school is The Best. Maybe UCONN is slightly stronger. However, as a nerd with a Ph.D., I wouldn't be so strong as to make it worth living in Storrs for 4 years. If I wanted to study puppetry, I might reconsider. I think all of the NE public universities have reputations as party schools.


OP here. Thank you for responding. I didn't realize that (some people think) Storrs is so bad! Would you recommend that a strong student who is interested in a public university strongly consider being a bit bolder and leaving NE? All of these perspectives are helpful. Thx.



I went to URI and loved it! Everyone lives on the beach. Not too big or small. Wonderful 4 years. Still miss Rhody!

UVM cut a bunch of programs this year due to budget woes - be sure to make sure not in DC's interest areas
