Crossed off - Rutgers (disrespectful and unengaged) Brandeis (not the right programs, location is under loved) William & Mary (good exchange program, but just too hot and buggy), Northeastern (Admissions scam that if you check the box that you would accept non-boston locations they send you off to some warehouse in London by the River, or other) Rochester - located in a bend in the river next to an airport, no mountains, cold and snow), Brown (every alum we met from there is just so absorbed by the fact that they went to brown - program limitations)
Moved down - BU (stuck between two highways and a river), Marist (highway through the middle of it, Violent Crime rate in the town), Dartmouth (pressure cooker feedback from students) UVM honors college (Spike in violent crime in Burlington, lack of housing)
Moved Up - UMass Amherst Commonwealth Honors College (5% acceptance rate, but Tier 1 research university, Program based, newer air conditioned dorms in the middle of campus, ability to pursue additional level of challenge and research)
