Decision Time

My son applied to 12 schools including 3 state schools and did get into FSU, UF and New College. All Honors. He had high hopes for some private schools out of state and did get in but it is just financially prohibitive. Any thoughts? New College seems to be more what he may like but name recognition is not there when I tell others he got in. He plans on grad school so I am thinking it may be a fit for him. Afraid FSU and UF may be too large but don’t want him to miss out on the college experience with tailgating and other activities.
