<p>Second the U of Arizona. The SALT center was featured in the US News 2007 edition of best colleges:</p>

<p>FWIW, I didnt get into Pitt (in state) and Indiana with a 3.3...</p>
<p>I gotta second BO5TON assessment- in my neck of the woods (Long Island) a 3.2 may not cut it for many of the schools that are being suggested. I think the OP needs at least the SAT score to get an idea as to what schools may fit the bill. My kid got into Temple, George Mason, and Towson with a 3.4 and 23 ACT (1060-SAT eqivalent) and trust me, her admissions could have gone either way. Her stats did not make her a "slam dunk" at any of these schools even with a 3.4.<br>
Also- my kid had alot of trouble with the SAT test. She found the ACT alot more tolerable. If you are not happy with the SAT results, please give the ACT a try.<br>
There are alot of great schools out there- Good luck!!</p>
<p>I second the recommendation of University of Vermont. Many of the B students among my younger relatives have gone there, loved it, and gotten a lot out of it. (And a shocking number have chosen to live in Burlington, too.) Its football is D-1, although perhaps a tad smaller than "big-time", but there is a lot of school spirit around sports, and certainly a big-time atmosphere for hockey.</p>
<p>Some others not yet mentioned: Kent State or Bowling Green in Ohio, the University of Rhode Island, University of Delaware, West Chester State College (in PA), Purdue.</p>
<p>What about the University of Central Florida?</p>
<p>Vermont hasnt had a football team since 1974</p>
<p>Quote "Some others not yet mentioned: Kent State or Bowling Green in Ohio, the University of Rhode Island, University of Delaware, West Chester State College (in PA), Purdue."</p>
<p>University of Delaware has gotten a lot more competitive in the past few years.</p>
<p>The University of Maine and the University of New Hampshire also play DI sports and appear to accept a fair number of B students with SAT scores in the 1000-1100 range.</p>
<p>How about the University of South Florida? Their football team has been top 10 this year.</p>
<p>Hasn't the University of Vermont gotten tougher in the last couple of years?</p>
<p>Check the University of Hartford. Son of a friend went there, played baseball, got an engineering degree, has worked since as an engineer. He has a high regard for the education his son received. It has a business school.</p>
<p>he might look at kansas state or univ. of kansas. the jayhawks are a ranked team this season. big time basketball as well in ku's allen fieldhouse.</p>
<p>You may want to check the College of Charleston (SC). It's a fine school and actually has a good number of students from the Northeast.</p>
<p>How about OSU? Talk about football frenzy! A friend's son is there, and he really likes it.</p>
<p>K State is really into sports.They require 21 or higher ACT , top 1/3rd of class and for OOS 2.5 or higher GPA. I recognize Manhattan, Kansas isn't a big town but kids have alot of fun there. I don't know where you live but it is only a couple of hours to the Kansas City airport.K State and KU have quite a rivalry going in sports.</p>
<p>On the Missouri side there is MU in Columbia.Football and basketball are huge.</p>
<p>I'd look at Arkansas. Great college town. Attractively sized student body. Reasonably priced plus reachable levels for OOS tuition waivers. I know 2 kids doing business there and are loving it. Both from wealthy , wealthy families who could have sent them anywhere. One of the dads is flying by to pick up my kid on the way home from Fayetteville for Thanksgiving. Should be a thrill.</p>
<p>I would eliminate Pitt. It has become much harder to get into in recent years. At one time it was a back-up for main campus PSU, but no more. </p>
<p>good luck!</p>
