We are on west coast so all those except for Denver might be too far. I only recently realized the importance of how close airport access is for all those schools that are out of state for us :wink:

Denver can come up so often so I definitely will look into this. Thank you!!

But Burlington is only 90 miles from Montreal. Easy daytrip.

The more I learn about UMN the more I fall in love with it. Definitely check it out. I spent 2 years around Northwestern while my ex was in grad school and I think if you want a bigger school experience with more to offer, but the same feel of a beautiful campus with big city access, youā€™ll like UMN. We have gotten such good feedback from students, parents and employers about UMN. I

We didnā€™t look at Denver (although Colorado State is S23 second choice right now), but I think Denver is the hot school right now for a number of reasons. A beautiful contained campus right in Denver which is a city with a lot to offer. Reasonable acceptance rates. Kids seem to be happy there. Itā€™s not a pressure cooker. Easy access to not only a major city but tons of outdoor activities. Also right near an airport (which I never realized was an issue until we starting looking at schools that ā€œyou canā€™t get to from hereā€).
